Marina $20 per hour for 1 child

Hi! My name is Marina after 8 fulfilling years as a nanny, I’ve had the privilege of caring for all age ranges. I have a dog and cat of my own and am happy to also provide care to the fur babies as well. From gentle cuddles to adventurous outdoor excursions, I’ve cherished every moment of nurturing young minds and hearts. I enjoy encouraging imagination and foster a gentle approach to nannying. Now, I’m excited to combine my passion for child care with advanced nursing skills as I pursue my FNP with a specialization in pediatrics. I would love to help out your family!

Hello, my name is Jackie, 28 years old. I am currently a graduate student at The Chicago School of Professional Psychology-Online Campus, studying Clinical Mental Health Counseling. I graduated from Purdue University in 2018, with a degree in Psychology and a minor in Human Development and Family Sciences. I have over four years of experience as a nanny, and 1 year of experience as a pre-school teacher. I have worked with children between the ages of 3-16 years old. I simply love children and enjoy helping them learn and grow at every stage of their young lives. My strengths as a nanny are that I am very responsible, reliable, caring, and energetic!

Adah $15 per hour for 1 child

I was recently thinking of a way to assist parents (single parents), as a mom whose had both married and single years. Then, I came across UrbanSitters. I have four children, who are now all adults. For sure, there were those who assisted me during the single years with my children, when they were little, and I would like to do the same for other parents in return. Sometimes parents need a little assistance with running errands, pick-ups, of just have a sitter sit some hours so parents can take a breather and free up more time for family time. I have an associates degree in medical administration and finishing up a bachelor degree in criminal justice. I have worked in the business, medical and judicial settings, pretty much since graduating high school. Children are precious gifts and are naturally funny at times, looking to explore their new world safely. I loved taking care of my own children, as well as relatives and friends children. I love reading, music, movies, and the outdoors. My availability is pretty flexible but it changes.

Asia $25 per hour for 1 child

Hi! My name is Asia and currently I work as a lab tech. Additionally, I offer child, pet, and house care services. I have been babysitting since high school, and I worked as a nanny for on two separate occasions. Both for a couple months at a time. I also worked at summer kids camps for many years. I am available to help with house work too. I have worked for resorts cleaning cabins. I have experience caring for animals of many ages and sizes. The dogs I’ve taken care of range in size from very small to over 100lbs, both adult and puppies. The cats I’ve cared for have been both calm and full of energy, and it’s always a win when the cats decide we can be friends!

Russell $20 per hour for 1 child

I bring over nine years of hands-on hospital experience caring for patients of all ages and a wide range of diagnoses. My background includes work in assisted living communities, skilled nursing facilities, and acute care settings. I’m comfortable providing everything from basic activities of daily living (ADLs) to high-acuity support alongside ICU-level care. In addition to my hospital experience, I’ve independently contracted through caregiver platforms to support families in their homes. I take pride in providing reliable, compassionate care tailored to each individual’s needs. I’m happy to provide excellent references upon request — I’d love for you to hear directly from the families and teams I’ve worked with.
