Booked by 5 families in Cicero, 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!

$20 per hour for 1 child

Looking for a reliable babysitter for evenings, weekends, or last-minute help? I’m a former elementary school teacher with over five years of classroom experience and a degree in Elementary Education (with a minor in ESL). I’m patient, nurturing, and comfortable caring for multiple children—including neurodivergent kids—thanks to my teaching background. I work full time during the day, but I’m available for evenings, weekends, and last-minute jobs. I’m most experienced with school-aged kids, but I also have experience with toddlers. I love reading with kids, playing outside, and creating fun, engaging activities. I’m also happy to help with homework or light meal prep. I have a reliable car and can provide references upon request. I’m looking to pick up some side jobs doing what I love—spending time with kids!

Hi, I’m Destiny, a funny, trustworthy, responsible, and experienced babysitter who truly loves working with kids and helping parents with that fill in care they need! With almost 10 years of babysitting experience, 5 years in daycare setting experience, and along with my background in community volunteering, I know how to create a safe, engaging, and nurturing environment for children of all ages under 13. I’m known for my patience, creativity, and ability to connect with both kids and parents. Whether it’s helping with homework, organizing fun activities, or simply being a meal preparer/light housekeeper, I always prioritize each child’s well-being and happiness. Why Parents Trust Me: ✔ CPR & First Aid Knowledge (in process of certification getting but I know how to do save life in case) ✔ Experienced with infants, toddlers, and older kids ✔ Engaging activities that promote learning & fun ✔ Strong references from happy families ✔ Reliable, punctual, and always communicative I love the opportunity to support as many families as I can and give peace of mind knowing little ones are in great hands. Feel free to reach out with any other questions and need references.

I loved working with her. Was great with my baby thanks to her I was able to finally put him on a schedule. Help me through his teething stage and above and beyond. Def would recommend she’s def the best with my baby who is only a couple months old. Teaches him motor skills and keeps me updated through out the day.

I am a grandmother and have watched my two grandchildren in Tennessee for more than 15 years. Recently I have moved to the Chicago area so I could help with my grandchildren here. They are ages 3 and 10. I have also helped out friends and family with their dogs while they are on vacation.

Ashton Chicago
$18 per hour for 1 child

Hi parents! I’m Ashton, the oldest of seven, so caregiving has always come naturally to me. Growing up, I was the built-in “little parent,” and that early experience sparked my passion for working with children. I’m currently completing my undergraduate degree in Human Development and Learning and preparing to begin my path toward becoming an Occupational Therapist. I also work as a paraprofessional at Easterseals, where I support children with ASD, IDD, and a wide range of developmental needs. This role has strengthened my patience, creativity, and ability to adapt to each child’s unique communication and learning style. Outside of school and work, I’ve spent years providing babysitting and dog-sitting for families, neighbors, and of course my own siblings. Whether it’s helping with routines, engaging in sensory-friendly play, or simply creating a safe and fun environment, I truly enjoy being part of a child’s day. I love games, dance parties, karaoke, arts & crafts, and tackling big puzzles, anything that helps kids explore, grow, and have fun. Parents tell me I bring calm energy, responsibility, and genuine connection to the kids I care for. I’d love to support your family in whatever way you need; whether it’s childcare, homework help, structured play, or a reliable extra set of hands. Looking forward to meeting you!

"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

photo of quoted parent Eric

"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)."
