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!
Hi! My name is Jawariya, but you can call me J. I’m a 28-year-old marketing professional with 11 years of hands-on babysitting experience. I’ve cared for children of all ages, from infants to pre-teens, and have worked with families both regularly and on an as-needed basis for evenings, weekends, and special occasions. My background includes years of consistent babysitting, as well as early experience through high school and college. I’m confident in my ability to multitask, keep children engaged, and maintain a safe, nurturing environment. Fun fact- I was in nursing school for 3 years and made a career change to marketing during COVID! I’m reliable, flexible with scheduling, and happy to provide references upon request. Feel free to reach out with any questions.
Hi, UrbanSitter families! 👋 I’m a lifelong Chicago-area resident, mom of three, and a trusted, experienced caregiver who truly loves working with kids of all ages. I’m a non-smoker, fully COVID-vaccinated and boosted, and I prioritize safety and reliability in everything I do. Caring for children has always been a huge part of my life. I’ve been a paid babysitter since my teens, am the oldest of six siblings, and spent 10 years as a Girl Scout leader—planning activities, leading overnight camping trips, and even international travel! While a GS leader, I maintained annual infant/child CPR and First Aid certification for a decade. Families describe me as punctual, dependable, calm, and creative. I love doing crafts, imaginative play, and reading. I’m always happy to help with meals and leave your space clean and organized after our time together. I have extensive experience with infants, toddlers, school-age children, and multiple siblings. I was state-registered as a respite caregiver for children with special needs for several years, and currently provide ongoing mentorship and care for a teen on the autism spectrum. Availability: I’m looking to support families during evenings and weekends. I have a standing commitment with another family on Sunday mornings but am available weeknights and most weekend days and evenings. A little more about me: I’m an art enthusiast, knitter, runner, and problem-solver. I’m happy to share access to my (privacy-protected) social media accounts so you can get to know me better, and I always welcome a call or Zoom chat before booking to be sure we’re a great fit. Booking details: • Mon–Thurs: 2.5-hour minimum • Fri–Sun: 4-hour minimum • Cancellations: – Less than 12 hours’ notice: 50% of booking – Less than 4 hours’ notice: 100% of booking I’d love to get to know your family and be a caring, dependable part of your village 💛
Hello! I have experience caring for newborns up to pre-teens, and have babysat for many families of multiple children over the past 12 years. The more the merrier! I truly enjoy spending time with kids and making sure they are happy and comfortable while their parents are out. I'm very organized and responsible, and always clean up after any messes - including the kitchen after mealtimes. I enjoy the challenge of keeping kids happy and laughing, while also sticking to their routines. I have experience changing diapers, feeding children and infants, cooking, cleaning, and driving children to activities. I also worked as a lifeguard for 6 years, so I'm very comfortable and familiar with CPR, first aid, and water safety. I love being active, the outdoors, playing games, and encourage all forms of artistic creativity. I also love to read - especially to kids! In addition to child care, I'm a personal trainer and health coach. I have a bachelors degree in Human Physiology and took a college class on Child Psychology and Development.
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.
