Hello! My name is Allison, but I also go by Alli. I received a bachelor's and master's degree in Environmental Science, but art is also a large part of my life and I love to encourage creativity along with a love of nature! I live on the northwest side of Chicago with my grumpy senior dog. I am more than happy to help you and your family with homework, cleaning/chores, or meals. I'm also an animal lover and comfortable helping with most pets. I currently work a full-time standard Mon-Fri job (working with trees!) and am looking to supplement my income with occasional jobs or a part time role if it fits. I have used the Urban Sitter app off and on for many years and even worked a full-time nanny position found here for 8 months while I was in transition after grad school, so I'm very familiar and experienced with the work/app. Feel free to reach out to me with any questions!
“Alli is a wonderful sitter. Cheerful, capable, and trustworthy. My son had a great time with her.”
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 ”
Hello there, parents and families! My name is Emily, and I love and live to work with youth. I have been trusted with the sacred work of caring for children for nearly 20 years, and I've worked with every age group from 0-21 in various educational, extracurricular, and caregiving capacities. Some of these positions include teaching high school social studies AND working as a SpEd paraprofessional in Chicago from 2[removed]; teaching music classes to youth 0-12 in both Honolulu and Chicago; tutoring and mentoring at-risk elementary school students in school and after school in San Jose, CA; teaching Tiny Tots swim classes to young children in Mission Viejo, CA; and assistant teaching preschool in Evanston, IL. I’ve also been a full-time nanny for various families on and off of UrbanSitter. I love to read, write, sing, play piano/guitar, bike, hike, travel, and above all, LEARN!! The most exciting part of life to me is getting to learn new things—because there will never be a shortage of those, no matter your age. That’s why working with kids is so fulfilling—they are constantly learning, processing, and absorbing the world around them, and it’s an honor and a privilege to guide them through that process. As a caregiver, I always put safety first--no question. I am sensitive, intuitive, and considerate of the unique needs of all young people as individuals. I have a "warm demander" approach to discipline, using firm and consistent boundaries with children while maintaining a kind demeanor. You’ll tell in the way I'll engage with your children from the moment I meet them that I truly care about their personal, academic, and social/emotional development. I can’t wait to meet you and your littles! Send me a message and I’ll get back to you in a flash ✨
“Emily was a wonderful sitter. She arrived prepared with art material and ideas for play, was a great listener and connected easily with our 2 and 4 year old kiddos. I would definitely hire her again, as she has a great enthusiasm, is attentive and 'got' the different personalities of our kids. She made sure to get the instructions we had for the day, and ask any clarifications. The kids had a great time with her!”
Hi, My name is Aryana. I am a current law student in my first year at The University of Illinois -Chicago school of law right downtown. I currently live in Hermosa which is a little neighborhood near logan square. I am the second oldest of 5 and have a small passion for teaching children (I was a substitute teacher in my last year of undergrad). I would love to spend a few hours a week babysitting to spend more time with kids but also to gain a little more income while in law school so I am not solely relying on student loans. Looking for something more occasional/ flexible so that I still have time to do homework. I am a very active person, I love playing games (video games, board games, interactive activities like blocks, barbies, and cars) with children, I enjoy reading bedtime stories and I can be firm so making sure your child is in bed on time will be no problem at all. I respect the parent's wishes at all times and make sure to never cross any boundaries. I believe it is important for the child to feel safe with me and most importantly for the parents to trust me, so like my mom says whatever she says goes, so I hold the parents to that same standard. It would be an honor to meet your family and possibly look after your child for the time being. I look forward to hopefully hearing from you. Best, Aryana
I am a 31 year old working and living in chicago. I enjoy being around children; their creativity and curiosity inspire me! Being the oldest of four siblings I understand the concern parents have for quality child care. I can offer transportation to or from school and activities. I am also happy to help with homework and prepare a meal. I am also cpr certified. I look forward to meeting you and your children!
