Booked by 13 families in Forest Park, IL

Hi, I'm Cece (short for Mareecia)! I'm a babysitter, nanny, and tutor with over 8 years of experience, combining structured learning with warmth and creativity. I'm open to all ages, though I'm most comfortable and experienced with children ages 2-10. My experience spans from summer camp counseling (ages 1-10) to remote tutoring in reading, writing, and study skills (ages 6-12). I offer more than just childcare: I'm a tutor + nanny in one, providing homework help, engaging activities, and a calm, positive routine to support your child's growth. Beyond caregiving, I bring a high level of professionalism and reliability from my corporate background at JPMorgan and Accenture. I'm also a writer, creator, and outdoor enthusiast who enjoys hiking and snowboarding. Currently, I'm learning Spanish, Italian, and French. Top Skills: Structured Routines: Skilled at creating calm, predictable schedules. Positive Engagement: Using redirection and enthusiasm to create a great environment. Academic Support: Expert in reading/writing for ages 6-12. I'm passionate about making a difference in children's lives and would love to connect with your family!

“CeCe is on it! She arrived ready to play with the girls (6 and 3). She asked for emergency contact info and then took the girls to the park as my husband and I made our way out. The girls had a fun night with her. There were no issues with the bedtime routine. They want her back for sure!”

Booked by 16 families in Forest Park, IL

Hi! My name is Julia and I’m a college grad from DePaul. I have my bachelors in psychology with a concentration in human development, and currently work full time as a nanny to a 2 year old girl and two elementary aged boys. I love working with all ages of kids, and am hoping to find parents looking for a regular date night sitter on the weekends when I am not nannying. I have my own car for transportation, and am comfortable working with pets. Aside from my current nannying job, I have been working with children for the last 8 years throughout high school and college. I am CPR certified and feel comfortable caring for children over 6 months of age. I enjoy getting creative and having fun with the kids I sit for, and am also very comfortable at handling bed times and getting kiddos to sleep. I’m happy to set up a phone call or zoom meeting to chat further if you are interested :)

“Julia was a joy to have with our children and handled them with care and professionalism. A great combo of responsibility & fun!”

Booked by 34 families in Forest Park, IL

Hi everyone! I’m Jenny! I’m a Chicago-based professional who genuinely loves spending time with kids and creating a fun, safe, and caring environment for them. My love for childcare started when I was 15, when I began volunteering at a local daycare. Since then, I’ve continued to babysit occasionally for families in my community, and I especially love coming up with fun activities like arts and crafts, trips to the park, reading, and creative play. I’m also a very proud aunt to my niece and nephews, who have given me plenty of experience keeping up with little ones! I’m bilingual in English and Spanish and have a deep appreciation for different cultures and backgrounds. I recently graduated from the University of Illinois Urbana-Champaign and now work professionally in the legal field, so I’m responsible, organized, and dependable. I’m available on weekends and most weekday evenings after 6:00 PM. I’d love to connect with families in the area and learn more about how I can help! I’m also happy to provide references upon request.

“Excellent sitter! Thoughtful, patient and very good with our 4 year old. We’ve hired her multiple times now ”

Hi there, my name is Courtney and I am currently 34 years old. I have my Master’s of Public Health and Bachelors in Communication. I have been babysitting for over 10 years for children of all ages, and have even worked in a pre-school. I believe in having a fun, educational time with the children I babysit while following all of the parent's rules.

Hi! I’m Yasmine - I’ve been a sitter for 5+ years. I am CPR certified, first aid trained and fully vaxxed. I am also bilingual in Spanish. I am looking for flexible part time work, date night/weekend opportunities and also tutor. Looking forward to meeting you!

“I have not used my Urbansitter account in years and I reactivated to post a last minute job that Yasmine responded to. She accepted a phone interview and was even able to quickly provide a reference for me within 24 hrs. We met her in person a few days later and she stayed with my kids (6 and 9), for about 8 hours. She punctual and immediately stepped in to help get their dinner ready while I got dressed to go to my event. I hung out for a bit but I could tell the kids seemed comfortable so I felt good about leaving them in Yasmine's care. I could tell she has experience with young kids. Very warm and and really takes the time to get to know them. They told me she can definitely babysit them again!”
