Alexandra $25 per hour for 1 child

Hi there! I am the ideal 21- year-old babysitter if you're searching for someone who is responsible, courteous, gregarious, professional, and bilingual. Born & raised in the city of Chicago I’ve always enjoyed being outdoors. I know my way around the whole city, with that being hopefully I can take your kid and or kiddos to a museum or park, etc! I was the only female student on my campus to graduate with a biliteracy seal on her diploma. I hold both national and international certifications. I also graduated with honors. I presided over a club in middle school and the drill flag team (majorette with a flag) in high school. I enjoy baking and cooking, and I don't mind doing so for an additional fee. With me, I hope to be able to help your children feel secure and at ease not only with them but the parent(s) as well.

Yareli $22 per hour for 1 child

Hello! My name is Yareli, and I am 21 years old, currently attending Morton College. I’ve been working as an assistant at a Montessori school for about 3 years, primarily with children aged 3-6, though I also have knowledge and some experience with younger children. My background in Montessori education has helped me develop a deep understanding of child development and how to engage with children in a peaceful and nurturing way. In addition to my work at the school, I have experience babysitting and enjoy creating fun, educational activities that keep children engaged. I love to read, paint, and write, and I bring a calm, peaceful, yet engaging energy that helps children feel comfortable and inspired. I look forward to the opportunity to care for your little ones!

Mayra $21 per hour for 1 child

Hi, my name is Mayra! I am currently offering childcare and housekeeping.I have started a degree in education and hope to finish soon! I began baby sitting for family members at 12 years old. At 18, I began working with school ages 5 and up in Sunday school. Eventually, I applied at a daycare at 19 and started in the infant room. Equipped with crucial knowledge and CPR classes, I am comfortable working with any age group. Crafts and fun activities are usually my favorite things to do with children. Household responsibilities I can handle include: cleaning, organizing, cooking, and running errands.

Journie $18 per hour for 1 child

Hi! I’m Journie! 💕 I’m a college student, athlete, and future teacher who loves staying active and spending time with kids. I played basketball at Morton College and have wrestled since sixth grade, including competing in freestyle wrestling at Fargo and receiving a wrestling scholarship. Outside of sports, I love being outdoors, exploring nature, reading, and singing. I’m also studying Early Childhood Education because I hope to become a teacher one day. I’ve been working with children for almost three years as a kids counselor at my local park district. I spent two years with the Mavericks program, working with K–3rd graders, and this year I work with Trailblazers, working with 3rd–6th graders. I help supervise kids, organize activities, play sports like basketball and soccer, and even help run sports programs at the park district. I’m energetic, patient, responsible, and love creating a safe and fun environment where kids can be themselves!

"We absolutely LOVE Isa — our family was so fortunate to have found her through UrbanSitter. I'm a first-time mom, and it took me a long time to find a full-time nanny I could trust to care for our sweet infant boy. Our boy connected with her immediately, and we couldn't have asked for anyone else to care for him. Her calming presence was also perfect for parents like us who work from home. We feel so lucky UrbanSitter helped us find someone who has truly become a part of our family."

"I was so stressed about finding a part-time nanny for my 14-month-old son, who has moderate separation anxiety and hadn't been left with anyone but family before, but we were both immediately at ease in Buhay's presence. Her empathy and commitment to understanding child development are apparent in every interaction I've witnessed between her and my toddler. I feel very lucky to have found her."

Kamilah W., mom of one

photo of quoted parent Eric

"Erna watched our now 5 year old daughter and 3 year old son for a few years. She is punctual, responsible, honest, and playful. What we appreciated most was that she was thoughtful in ensuring that we had a little break; for example, when the kids were clingy, she was able to divert their attention with games or songs or walks to the park. We felt very comfortable leaving our kids with Erna because of her caring nature and experience that spans a decade (including being a live-in nanny)."
