Hi, UrbanSitter families! 👋 I’m a lifelong Chicago-area resident, mom of three, and a trusted, experienced caregiver who truly loves working with kids of all ages.

While a GS leader, I maintained annual infant/child CPR and First Aid certification for a decade. Families describe me as punctual, dependable, calm, and creative. I love doing crafts, imaginative play, and reading. I’m always happy to help with meals and leave your space clean and organized after our time together.

Reactivating this profile! I'm at a career transition as an attorney, and I'm looking for temporary and occasional babysitting while taking time for some personal projects. I'm from a tight-knit extended family with about 25 first cousins, so I've been caring for children of various ages since I was old enough to hold a baby, with paid experience outside my family throughout the last 13 years. I spent two years between undergrad and law school working in childcare full-time. I have extensive experience with infants, toddlers, and school age children. I'm particularly good with pre-verbal toddlers, thanks to my experience growing up with a little brother who had a language delay. I also have experience tutoring, specifically in math. My favorite thing about babysitting is finding things that spark a child's curiosity and helping them learn.

Hi there! I am Blanca and I have had a passion for school and education ever since I was in kindergarten! I recently reconnected with some family after 17 years and turns out I have nieces and nephews, so I decided to take a break from teaching to travel often and spend time with them. While I am enjoying living life as a lady of leisure when back in town, I do miss working with younger children, so I am looking for occasional/one-time babysitting jobs where I can help out parents and have fun-filled days with children. I am a graduate of Dominican University, where I studied elementary, ESL, bilingual education, and translation & interpretation. I have experience working as a high school and elementary teacher, K-12 substitute teacher, teacher’s assistant, daycare center lead teacher, and camp teacher; as well as babysitting from months-old babies to teenagers. I am very patient, caring and attentive. I began my paid experience babysitting for my former teachers and employers, who then referred me to their friends and they to theirs, and so on, so I’ve become an occasional sitter for several families while I’m not teaching, but this year I am looking for occasional jobs to make better use of my time until the next school year starts. I love anything puzzle-related; I’m a pro at hide-and-seek, and can do arts and crafts out of anything! My music taste range is insane! I also haven’t owned a tv in over 8 years, so I never resort to screen time… unless your child turns it on and I can’t figure out how to turn it off for a few minutes. In my spare time, I enjoy nature, music, brain teasers, origami, and cleaning, to name a few things. Fun fact: I can drive and ride a motorcycle, but I have yet to learn to ride a regular bike!

I am an ECE major and infant nanny with a passion for the littles! I found an introduction into this path working as a babysitter for my infant and toddler aged nephews and cousins in highschool. While in school to obtain my bachelor’s, I have worked in clinics, in home, and middle school doing ABA therapy, and as a lead teacher in a preschool. I love spending time at the beach, enjoying nature, or watching movies and cuddling with my two cats. I am comfortable feeding, changing, preparing meals for children, helping with academicsㅤ, light household work for children such as laundry, and assisting to care for pets in the home.
