Booked by 5 families in Chicago, IL

Nurturing young minds is more than a job for me it’s a genuine passion…My 6 + years of experience caring for children aged 0-11 months and 1-7 years have solidified my commitment to their growth and well-being. Along with my Early childhood Education and Early childhood development coursework I bring a strong educational background to my care abilities… I am fully vaccinated and have CPR training. I am open to household tasks cleaning,laundry and ironing.i love to cook and bake aswell I am also open to work with families with pets.

Melody was absolutely amazing! She went above and beyond for my kids and made sure they were happy, entertained, and well taken care of the whole time. Her energy, patience, and attention to detail really stood out. I felt completely at ease knowing they were with her. I highly recommend Melody to any parent looking for someone caring, reliable, and genuinely great with kids. We can’t wait to book with her again!

Booked by 2 families in Chicago, IL

I’m a dependable and caring babysitter with 3 years of experience supporting families and caring for children from newborns to 10 years old. I’m certified in CPR, First Aid, and AED, so safety is always a top priority. I’ve helped with everything from diaper changes and feeding to homework, playtime, and bedtime routines. I’ve cared for up to three kids at once and bring patience, positive energy, and a calm presence to every home. Whether it’s a fun-filled day or a quiet evening routine, I aim to create a warm, safe, and engaging environment where kids feel secure and parents feel confident.

Julia was professional the entire time. Came on time and kept my child engaged the whole time. Our little one loved spending time with her.

Irene $17 per hour for 1 child

Hi, I'm Irene! I’m looking to babysit for more experience in the childcare field! I have worked mostly with children with special needs and was training to be an ABA therapist. Love to work with all children! I love all animals and I’m very well acquainted with most pet care (exotic as well). I’ve been babysitting unofficially for about 9 years so I wanted to give it a more professional try!

"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

"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)."
