Hello! My name is Kara, and I would be honored to support you and your family during this special time. I bring over 20 years of experience working with children, and my passion for caregiving began early watching my mother run a daycare from our home as a teenager. Since then, I’ve had the privilege of working with children of all ages in a variety of settings, including private homes, daycare centers, public schools, and an emergency youth shelter a role I found especially meaningful. I have spent over 15 years as a dedicated nanny (no longer working full-time in that role) and have since specialized as a Newborn Care Specialist (NCS) for the past 8 years and a Birth and Postpartum Doula for the past 5 years. Whether you need gentle, experienced overnight newborn care or doula support through birth and postpartum recovery, I’m here to help. I also offer occasional babysitting, depending on my availability. Please note: Rates vary depending on the type of care provided. Newborn Care Specialist and Doula services start at $45/hour. I look forward to connecting with you and supporting your growing family!
“Amazing caregiver, would trust Kara with my kids without blinking an eye. Will work with her again!”
I am an experienced babysitter who loves to help foster creative thinking through play! I've babysat children ages 6 months - 13 years old and I've also worked with children and adults in educational settings including The Piven Theatre Workshop, Time Education, Right At School After School program, and Flashpoint College. I am an engaging child caretaker who knows how to show up and be on time, with current CPR/AED certification. Separately from childcare, I run my own business, which means I'm not seeking a full time role but I do have some flexible availability that can be helpful for families seeking backup care, date nights, or potentially part-time care.
“Carrie is great! She went above and beyond. Our daughter loved her and asked if she could be her babysitter all the time. Also our dog had an accident and Carrie stayed cool and helped. Definitely recommended”
Hi! I am a college student majoring in Accounting at the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign. I have been a swim instructor for kids under the age of 12 for a year and I have tutored children how to play piano for 2-3 years. I am very social, patient and fun and have loved my teaching jobs and would like to move onto babysitting kids and taking care of pets as well! I love arts and crafts, games, fun activities, teaching, animals and walks! I am also a fluent Spanish speaker and an intermediate German speaker. My mom has been a full time nanny for 15 years and I have learned a lot on how to be an excellent babysitter!
“Katie was wonderful with our twin 7 year old boys! ”
I am 28 years old, and a registered nurse. I have been babysitting for about 10 years and my experience includes working several different families here on Urbansitter, in my neighborhood, as well as some family children. I went to the University of Iowa and studied health and human physiology and graduated nursing school in 2023. I worked as a day camp recreation leader for day for 7 years with the chicago park district, which allowed me to increase my experience working with children. I enjoy working with children and keeping them entertained through different activities, whether its arts and crafts or playing outside. I am also cpr certified and fully vaccinated. I prefer zelle,cash or Venmo but can be flexible. I look forward to working with your family!
Hi there, my name is Sam! I’ve been working with kids since I could remember and I’ve always loved it. I used to work at Disney World so if your kids love Disney we’ll definitely get along. With my experience in childcare and other relational jobs I’ve had I’ve learned to become very patient, kind, attentive, flexible, trustworthy, and creative. I can help with cooking, laundry, and other light household duties. In my free time I enjoy reading (especially about leadership, self-development, and communication), staying physically active, and finding new recipes to try. Thank you again for your consideration and I hope to hear from you soon!
