Hi! I’m a DePaul University graduate with 15+ years of experience caring for children from infancy through their teens as a nanny, babysitter, tutor, and violin teacher. I speak English, Spanish, Farsi & Arabic, and have played violin for over 20 years. I’m experienced with infants, toddlers, and older children, including feeding, naps, developmental play, creative activities, homework, transportation, and bedtime routines. I create a fun, nurturing environment where children feel happy, safe, and cared for. Families describe me as warm, reliable, organized, and proactive. I bring patience and attentive care to every booking. I have a reliable car, a clean driving record, am a non-smoker, and am fully vaccinated, including COVID-19. I receive my annual flu shot and stay current on recommended adult immunizations. I’m available for occasional, overnight, and date night bookings. **Booking Policies** [Payment and Booking Hours] Since I set aside this time for your family, I kindly ask that payment cover all booked hours, even if the booking finishes early. I’m happy to accommodate extensions when possible and appreciate advance notice. Zelle or cash are my preferred payment methods. [Holidays] Bookings on holidays are charged at double my regular hourly rate: $60/hr (1 child) | $70/hr (2 children) | $80/hr (3 children). I appreciate your understanding, as holidays are especially valuable times with loved ones! I'd love the opportunity to get to know your family and provide loving, dependable care for your little ones!

My name is Rida, nice to meet you 😊 Families would describe me as trustworthy, communicative, flexible, and kind. I’m am CPR certified, a non smoker, and have over 10 years of experience. I’m 29 years old and a Chicago native! I grew up in Rogers park and now live in the North suburbs! I currently work full time downtown on a hybrid schedule. I have availability on weekends (morning and/or night). I do have my own car and work with families across the city and select suburbs! I graduated from Depaul University in 2020 in political science. I also have an Illinois Teacher’s substitute license. I have been on Urbansitter since 2017 as I started off doing date nights while in undergrad. I had multiple part time families before COVID, as well as some families during that eventually moved out of Chicago. I have families where i have done overnights for while parents are away, as well as pet/house sitting. I have experience with hotel sitting for weddings or while parents may be from out of town! I am comfortable working with 4-5 kiddos at a time, as I have experience working with different ages at once! On the day of the booking, I will make sure to update you on the kid(s) to ensure that they are in good hands :) I come from a big family that are all located in the Chicagoland area. My mom is a teacher in the city so, I get many of my great skills from her! I also help raised my little sister, who is now 18 years old :) Looking forward to meeting you! I am always open to a quick phone call or a working session to get to know your family and to see if it’s a good fit!

“Very nurturing and we were so comfortable to have her look after our newborn. ”

Hello! My name is Caroline and I'm a nonprofit professional for a healthcare association and graduate of DePaul University. I have over 14 years of childcare experience, working with children as young as 2 months, and as old as 12 years. I've worked as an after-school nanny, date night sitter, full-time nanny, overnight sitter, and as an Au Pair(nanny abroad). As an Au Pair, I lived with a family of three in Madrid. In addition to caring for their child, I provided English language instruction. I love to be engaging with crafts, reading, and playing outside. In addition to looking after your children, I'm happy to do light house work (laundry, dishes, vacuuming, etc.) and healthy meal prep. As an animal lover, pets are not a problem for me. I am also fluent in Polish and have an advanced proficiency of Spanish. A few of my interests include yoga, going to concerts, and exploring the city. If you're looking for a friendly, respectful, crafty and experienced babysitter, then I'd be a great match for your family. I am fully vaccinated.
