Please note i will be out of town September 24-27, October 8-18. 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 28 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.

Trusted, Caring & Dependable Childcare for Children of All Ages. Finding someone you can truly trust with your children is important. I provide attentive, nurturing care for children of all ages, with a strong focus on their safety, comfort, and individual needs. I currently babysit occasionally and have years of hands-on experience caring for children. As a mother of two adult daughters, I understand the importance of patience, consistency, and creating a positive environment where children feel comfortable and cared for. I’m respectful of each family’s routines and parenting preferences. I also have excellent references, reliable transportation, and flexible availability with advance notice. My goal is simple: to give parents peace of mind while their children are in my care. I’d be happy to connect and learn more about your childcare needs.

Diaw is great, very helpful taking care of infants and toddlers!

I've been babysitting my whole life and really enjoy spending time with children. They are genuine, inventive and energetic and a welcome change from the adults I spend most of my time with! I'd love to meet to see if I would be a good fit for you. I began babysitting when I was 12 and haven't stopped since. My youngest sister was born when I was 14 so I have day-to-day experience caring for a young child in my own family. I babysat my way through college, for individual families and for a few churches in a daycare setting. During the summer I worked day camp for school age children and also did respite work with handicapped children. After college I worked full time in the infant and toddler rooms of an Athletic center in Denver for a year - also privately babysitting for several of those families.
