Nohely $18 per hour for 1 child
Booked by 1 family in Blue Island, IL

Hi families! My name is Nohely, a first year student at DePaul University. I have worked as a childcare assistant with children aged 6 months - 12 years, although my experience with infants is limited. Additionally, I currently work as a youth caretaker/teacher at my local church, in which I care for children aged 10-14. I have owned both cats and dogs, and therefore have good basic knowledge in caring for animals (feeding schedules, walks, stimulation, etc). I am also able to provide household services like cooking, cleaning, deep cleaning, and other related services. I like to think I get along well with kids of all ages and am able to adapt to a child's needs, wants, and personalities. Hope to meet you all soon!

Makela $25 per hour for 1 child

Hi families! My name is Makela, but most people call me Kela. I am currently completing my Bachelor’s degree in Early Childhood Education, and caring for children has always been a natural part of my life. I grew up in a childcare setting—my mother has owned and operated a home daycare in Chicago for over 20 years—so nurturing and supporting children has been part of my world from a young age. I have experience working with infants, toddlers, and school-age children, and I currently work as a mentor and youth advocate supporting teens and families. I love caregiving because it allows me to build meaningful relationships, support development, and create safe spaces where children feel seen, valued, and encouraged to learn through play. I’m patient, dependable, and creative. Outside of caregiving, I’m also a seamstress and fashion designer, which means I love bringing creativity, crafts, and imagination into daily activities. If chosen to work with your family, you can expect a caring, attentive, and engaged caregiver who truly enjoys helping children grow.

Rhayna $18 per hour for 1 child

Hi! My name is Rhayna, and I am a recent Howard graduate from the Chicagoland area. I am offering childcare and some household services. I absolutely fell in love assisting and caring for children after volunteering with preschools in high school, watching family members, and promptly working at an early learning program facility during undergrad. At the early learning program, I would prepare lunch/snacks while keeping the children entertained, assisted in water play, outdoor games, and crafts, and most importantly, I encouraged children to build their self esteem and sense of confidence while engaging in different social and academic environments. Additionally, I assisted some teachers by reviewing assignments for young students, aged 2 to 5 year olds. During the years, I have gained experience in Spanish tutoring, homework help, sport practice, and even meal preparation as I enjoy cooking. I am sure I could be an asset to your family. I am allergic to cats and dogs, but I am okay to be around most small hypoallergenic pets. Lastly, it is important to me that I and the families I work with are in alignment, therefore I am always responsive and willing to reach your specific goals and make sure desires are met for your child(ren). Thank You Rhayna Berryhill

"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."

"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)."
