Alexzandrea $20 per hour for 1 child
Booked by 1 family in Chicago Ridge, IL

Hello! My name is Alexzandrea, and I'm excited to offer my babysitting services to families in need. With 9 years of experience in the education field and 7 years of babysitting on and off, I bring a well-rounded background of skills to ensure your child is cared for and engaged in a safe, nurturing environment. I'm a proud breast cancer survivor, and this journey has made me even more passionate about life and making meaningful connections. Recently, I was laid off from my position at Chicago Public Schools, and I'm looking to dedicate my time to helping children in new ways. As a parent of a child with ADHD, I have a deep understanding of how to manage different behavioral needs and create personalized strategies for each child to thrive. I believe in fostering a positive, supportive, and fun environment, where kids feel heard and loved. I also have my own reliable car, so transportation is never an issue if you need me to pick up or drop off your child. I truly love working with children.

Abigail $20 per hour for 1 child

Hello! I have a genuine love for kids and enjoy spending time with them, whether it's playing games, helping with homework, and more. For a family, I provided care for their three-month-old, two-year-old, and their four-year-old. This involved managing diverse needs and ensuring a safe and nurturing environment for each child. Caring for others is second nature to me (oldest sister of 5), I have always strived to create a nurturing and supportive atmosphere for everyone around me (including fur babies as well). I am guided by my morals as I am one of Jehovah's Witnesses. I mention this as I don't celebrate any holidays however, I'm pretty creative with coming up with fun seasonal activities ;D

Michele $25 per hour for 1 child

Hi! I'm Michele, and I'm in the Chicago area for babysitting. I help with housekeeping, meal prep, school activities, outdoor fun, homework, newborn care, and more. I've worked with kids who have ADHD, autism, and Gestalt Language. I've got my CPR certification and background check done, and I'm happy to be seen if you'd like. I've also had some experience caring for children through Kiddie Corp, nannying, and tutoring reading. I love spending time with kids doing things like playing outside, learning new things, acting out stories, puzzles, crafts, and adventure walks. Most of all, I enjoy helping kids develop their minds in a safe and supportive space. The most important thing is making sure the child feels loved and safe, and that the family feels supported. I'd really enjoy building positive relationships with families in a caring environment. I am new to this app. But have been working for Care for 4 years :)

"We absolutely LOVE Isa β€” 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)."
