Lily $18 per hour for 1 child
Hi! My name is Lily and I have been babysitting for over 12 years! I love hanging out with kids whether that includes arts & crafts or playing soccer. I have worked as a overnight camp counselor for middle school aged children, where I developed emotional support skills. I have also been a regular babysitter for babies, toddlers, and more. I aim to provide a fun and comforting experience for the kids while also making sure the parents come home to a clean house:)
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!
Abidemi $28 per hour for 1 child
Hi! My name is Abidemi, and I’m an experienced nanny based in Chicago. I have over 3 years of childcare experience caring for children from 3 months to 13 years old, including meal prep, homework help, school/activity transportation, bedtime routines, and fun age-appropriate activities. I’m reliable, patient, nurturing, and very organized. I love creating a safe, positive environment where kids can learn, play, and feel cared for. I’m also comfortable helping with light housekeeping, children’s laundry/areas, errands, and simple household tasks. I’m bilingual in English and Yoruba, and I’m happy to support families with consistent communication and dependable care. I am allergic to cats, but I’m comfortable working with families who have dogs.
