I am the oldest of six children and was more of a parent than a sister to all of them. The two youngest kids are 15 and 13 years younger than I am. I love children and have always enjoyed being around them. I am a trained Chef and can cook or help prepare meals if needed. I am also a Chef Instructor and Assistant Food Stylist. At this time I am interested in occasional babysitting to supplement my freelance income. Being able to hang out with kids would be a fun and fulfilling way to do that.
“Quick to respond, so friendly, and good with my 11 year old. They had a great time!”
Looking for date night families and part time summer jobs. . I have decades of experience working with children of all ages and am a certified teacher. I am known as dependable, fun, and caring. I am great at telling stories, reading books, doing crafts, trips to the park, and singing children's songs. I am a mom of two sons as well as a certified teacher and tutor.
“Edith was wonderful! From the moment she arrived, she made my daughter laugh and feel comfortable. She brought such a warm, positive energy and connected with her right away. Edith also made sure bedtime went smoothly and got her to sleep right on time. I really appreciated her calm and caring presence.”
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.
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 there! I’m a 27-year-old with extensive experience caring for children ages 6 weeks to 16 years. My background includes babysitting, working as a camp counselor (both day and overnight), and serving in an early childhood education center. I also have significant experience working with kids with disabilities. I’m dedicated, compassionate, and ready to provide a safe and engaging environment for your little ones.
“Molly helped us out majorly when a babysitter cancelled and we ended last minute coverage. She was great with the kids and I will definitely be hiring her again!”
