“Maura was amazing today with our 10 month old baby! He is going through stranger anxiety, separation anxiety, teething, AND wasn't feeling the best today, and despite all of that, he really enjoyed spending time with Maura and felt comfortable almost immediately. That almost never happens! Maura was so sweet with him, kept him engaged and happy, and even loaded/unloaded our dishwasher & straightened up during his nap and before leaving for the day. He had a really fun day! We are very excited to have Maura back as our regular part-time nanny and sitter!”

Kaela $20 per hour for 1 child

Hi! My name is Rudy. I’m a 27 year old trans queer educator & social worker. I moved to Chicago about 3 years ago to earn my masters in social work. Despite having many loved ones on the east coast, I stuck around after falling in love with this city. I currently live in the Irving Park neighborhood and I have a big ole Subaru outback! I work full time as a sexual violence prevention educator at a nonprofit. I’m available on weekday evenings with enough notice, and most weekends. I’ve worked with kids on and off my whole life, as I grew up with a mom who is a theater teacher and I would help her with her after school programs. I also have 25 first cousins, so there’s always kiddos around. Experience: Nanny to a 4 and 7 year old set of siblings during the pandemic years of 2020 & 2021. Sitter to a 7 week old through his 1st birthday. Sitter to middle schoolers. There are no reviews on my profile yet, as I just signed up for UrbanSitter this week, so I’m happy to provide references. I am a responsible, communicative, enthusiastic and earnest person. I look forward to speaking with you, and answering any questions you may have for me!
