I’m a warm, reliable, and attentive caregiver who genuinely enjoys helping families feel supported. I’m calm, patient, and easy to communicate with, and I take safety and trust seriously. I enjoy spending time with kids through play, reading, homework help, and keeping routines running smoothly. I’m comfortable helping with meals, tidying up, and caring for pets as well. I show up on time, stay present, and do my best to make both kids and parents feel at ease.

Lorenna Chicago
$18 per hour for 1 child

I am a college student at UIC right now for music education. I moved to Chicago three years ago for school. I used to babysit a lot back in Wisconsin but haven’t had the connections here yet. I really miss it. I have two younger siblings who I have been watching since I was as old as ten but I started babysitting for others at age 12. It was from ages 3 to 16. I also had a family who I took care of their three kids for two weeks when they went on vacation. I can cook, I like to play/create games, color, read, play sports etc

Jennifer Chicago
$25 per hour for 1 child

Hi, my name is Jennifer and I am a Hispanic babysitter with over 3 years of experience working with children. In my first year, I had the joy of taking care of a 6-month-old from 7 am to 5 pm for a duration of 3 months. The following year, I looked after a 6-year-old from 6 pm to 10 pm for 5 months while balancing my morning college classes. Lastly, in my third year, I watched my neighbor's 3-year-old daughter for a couple of weeks from 9 am to 5 pm. With my diverse experience, I have worked with children of various age groups. From infants to toddlers and elementary school-aged children, I am comfortable and confident in providing quality care for each stage of development. When it comes to activities, I enjoy engaging children in educational and entertaining endeavors. Whether it's reading books, playing games, or exploring nature, I believe in fostering their curiosity and creativity. In addition to my babysitting skills, I am also a certified lifeguard with 4 years of experience. Through this role, I have obtained certifications in CPR and first aid. I have also honed my teaching abilities by providing swim lessons to children aged 4-13. Moving on to pet care, I have a range of experience with various pets and breeds. Whether it is walking dogs, feeding pets, or engaging in playtime, I am capable of providing the necessary care for your furry friends. I am comfortable with large animals and have no issues with animals that shed. Overall, I am a reliable and responsible babysitter with a passion for working with children. My experience, certifications, and abilities make me a well-rounded caregiver who is committed to ensuring both the safety and happiness of your little ones.

"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)."

Eric D., dad of two
