My name is Kayla. I’m a Chicago native with a background in hospitality. I began working as a CNA in high school at 16 and have been caring for people of different backgrounds since. I briefly studied children’s developmental sciences at NYU. I’ve worked with geriatric patients, patients with visual and physical impairments, developmental delays such as autism as well as some with memory loss disorders. I have 12 siblings and have cared for my nieces and nephews endlessly over the years. My most recent care has been with my nephew who is autistic, 5 now, who was fed via gtube for the first 2 years of his life. I love working with children and being hands on. I’m outgoing, personable and funny. I’m the life of the party when necessary but I handle my business with utmost care.

Hello, My name is Dorah and I am a senior at Saint Mary's College with a Physics major and a Philosophy minor. I would love to help out in any way that I can and I love children; that is why I am on UrbanSitter. I am a daughter of 5 hailing from a southern suburb of Chicago. I have taken care of my younger sister in her younger years and I take care of my grandfather whenever I am home. I am very experienced in taking care of children of all ages and have a good bit of my experience sitting a 3 and 7 year old in the south bend area with past experience sitting as young as 2 years old. I also have experience sitting a 9 year old non-verbal girl with autism. Please let mw know if you have anymore questions and I would love to talk!

Hello my name is Yancy. I recently graduated from SIUC with a BA in psychology. I have taken courses in child development. I have also worked at a daycare. I was a lead teacher to a classroom or about 15-20 students ranging from the ages of 3-5. But I also have experience working with infants and other ages. I am CPR certified.

I’m a dependable, attentive caregiver with experience supporting children, seniors, and pets. I bring patience, organization, and warmth to every home, helping with daily routines, light housekeeping, companionship, and creating a safe, comfortable environment.

I'm a recent graduate from Howard University with a degree in International Affairs and Community Development. My first experience working with children was at Blackstone Bicycle Works, teaching youth 6-13 how to ride a bike, bike mechanic skills, customer service skills, as well as lots of mentoring and tutoring. I've babysat siblings ranging from 4-10 yrs old since I was 16. I recently left my teaching position at Chicago Excel Academy in the Roseland community and wanted to jump back into more personal youth development and care. I love leaving a positive impact on children's lives and being the person to make them smile. I love being able to be apart of making children the best versions of themselves through proper support, love, and activities best for that particular child. I'm an activist and work hard for my community and taking care of/loving children is a huge part of that commitment.
