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!

Hi, my name is Margarita, and I’m 29 years old. I’ve been babysitting for 13 years. Growing up in a large family as the third of seven children, I naturally developed a passion for helping care for my younger siblings. Over the years, I’ve gained experience babysitting both for my own family and for others. I’ve also worked in a kids' room at a gym, (happened for about 4 years) supervising children of all ages—sometimes up to 10 at once! I truly enjoy working with kids and love watching them grow and knowing I’ve contributed positively to their development. In addition to my childcare experience, I’m a proud mom to two little ones: a 5-year-old son named Ace and a 4-year-old daughter named Alaia. Also currently fostering a 1 year old baby girl who we are hoping to adopt soon! I also have 10 years of experience in housekeeping. For the past 4 years, I’ve been working full-time in the human resources department of a nonprofit organization, handling payroll.

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!

Hello families!! I recently just graduated from John Carroll University and moved back to Chicago. I have 5+ years of experience with infants and toddlers. I am comfortable with anything that includes: playtime, changing clothes, nap/sleep time, cleaning, and cooking.

Jessica was amazing with my 2 year old. She kept him entertained and he thoroughly enjoyed himself

Hi there, my name is Becca! I am a registered nurse and a recent graduate of North Park University, where I earned my Bachelor of Science in Nursing l. I have experience with newborns to preteens. I have worked in a nursery for the past 9 years and through this experience I have learned to take on a very patient, kind, calm, adaptable, creative nature to connect with children. I enjoy implementing milestone activities with young children along with reading books, and doing arts and crafts during our time. In my own free time I love to bake, hike, read, and travel. I also am a lover of animals! I am newer to UrbanSitter and I would greatly appreciate an opportunity! I'm excited to have the opportunity to work with your family and to get to know your children! Best- Becca (she/her) Provided Upon Request- Proof of CPR/BLS certification, Covid-19 Vaccination, & References/Resume

Hands down best sitter! Becca was on time and immediately jumped in getting to know our kids. She had no problem navigating bedtime and tidied up. We appreciated her flexibility and communication but most impressive, she really engaged our kiddos right when she walked through the door.
