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!

Dorah was on time which I appreciated, when she got to our home my little guy was taking a nap. My little guy took a nap most of the time that Dorah at our home. When he got up she followed all the instructions to feed him his lunch, she was communicative, and even sent me a picture of my little guy smiling. Thank you Dorah!

Hiiiii! My name is Francisca. I love kids and babysitting, I tend to have a lot of patience with kids and my love kids and taking care of them is something that I find natural and easy to do I’ve been babysitting since I was 10 years old. I took care of my younger siblings when my parents went to work and basically I was their mom because my parents were very busy. My responsibilities, I can bath kids, help with assignments and even dance lessons. I also work as a household assistant and can cook, clean, and run errands. I have been a caretaker for my own dad. I can cook, I have a car and a valid driver’s license. I have a cat and I’ll be happy to work with families with dogs and cats.

Genuinely a kind person at heart. Love the kids and came with her own toys to entertain the kids. Spent quality time with the kids by drawing, coloring, painting and resorting to screen time last. I recommend her to any family!

Hi parents, welcome to my page! My name is Maria and I would love to assist you with childcare. I have been working in childcare for the last ten years and I have experience with children ages newborn to thirteen years old. For the last five years I worked with a family as their full time nanny. With that family I assisted in school drop offs/pick ups, infant care, toddler care, potty training, meal prepping, light house keeping, homework help, etc. I am searching for my next full time family, but for the time being I am happy to help out with one off babysitting dates and date nights. I love to go on walks, go to the park, read, do board games, and do arts and crafts. I am more than happy to help out around the house and I am very flexible with start and end times. Thank you for your consideration. Have a great day and good luck in your search! **Please note that I have a three hour minimum when it comes to bookings. Thank you!

Maria was quick to respond, arrived on time and was able to make my kids (ages 3 and 5) feel comfortable right away. She was great and we will asking her to babysit again soon!

"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)."
