"Amina came and helped us out when our babysitter canceled last minute. She was great with our kids. Even our 11 month old son who has stranger anxiety warmed up to her."

Panmela $25 per hour for 1 child
I'm a loving, joyful, and energetic person with a strong drive and a true passion for childcare. I have experience with children of all ages, including three experiences caring for baby twins and one experience with older twins. I'm responsible, patient, and always attentive to the unique needs of each child. Whether it's playtime, homework help, or bedtime routines, I bring positivity and dedication to every moment. I also have a reliable car, which allows me to manage school runs, extracurricular activities, and family errands efficiently. I'm currently majoring in Nursing, which has strengthened my knowledge of child development, health, safety, and patient care. I'm fully committed to providing a safe, fun, and nurturing environment for your children.

I am a current grad student at UIC in the physical therapy program! I’ve completed my bachelor’s degree in Exercise Science at Illinois State University in May 2024. I worked as a caregiver for 2 summers in a row during my undergrad at a memory care assisted living facility in Elmhurst, IL. I also worked as a rehab tech at Shirley Ryan AbilityLab Pediatric Outpatient clinic in Glenview, IL from May 2024-July 2025. I have a passion for helping and caring for people in any capacity. I’m also experienced in childcare from babysitting my nieces/nephews when called to help my family!

Kaela $20 per hour for 1 child
Hi! My name is Rudy. I’m a 27 year old trans queer educator & social worker. I moved to Chicago about 3 years ago to earn my masters in social work. Despite having many loved ones on the east coast, I stuck around after falling in love with this city. I currently live in the Irving Park neighborhood and I have a big ole Subaru outback! I work full time as a sexual violence prevention educator at a nonprofit. I’m available on weekday evenings with enough notice, and most weekends. I’ve worked with kids on and off my whole life, as I grew up with a mom who is a theater teacher and I would help her with her after school programs. I also have 25 first cousins, so there’s always kiddos around. Experience: Nanny to a 4 and 7 year old set of siblings during the pandemic years of 2020 & 2021. Sitter to a 7 week old through his 1st birthday. Sitter to middle schoolers. There are no reviews on my profile yet, as I just signed up for UrbanSitter this week, so I’m happy to provide references. I am a responsible, communicative, enthusiastic and earnest person. I look forward to speaking with you, and answering any questions you may have for me!
