Booked by 1 family in Elmwood Park, IL

Hi, my name is Janice and I am offering tutoring, babysitting, housesitting, and/or pet sitting services. I am from Ohio but moved to Chicago 3 years ago. I attended Miami University and received my degree in Early Childhood Education. While I was in school I was completing semester-long placements in a variety of classrooms with students ages raging from infant to 8 years old. I was also working a rotation at a few daycares as a substitute in the summers for 3 years. Since I have graduated in 2020, I have taught third and fourth grade. I just finished my fourth year as a teacher. I love being able to spend time with kids, teaching them while watching them learn and grow each day.

“Seeing Janice study and become a teacher all based on her love and betterment of kids has been such an inspiration to watch. Kids are her passion and she puts her heart into her job and her family. She is a perfect example of what a family looks for in a babysitter”

I am a very experienced when it comes to all ages of childcare. I’ve spent more than 10+ years working with children all the way up to 13 years of age. With infants, I’m very vigilant and interactive, I keep them entertained and always smiling and I make sure that the schedule a parent has in place is always followed. I’m very patient with kids and will always make sure they are taken care of to the best of ability. With older children, I take care of them with their afterschool activities and if a parent wish to do other outings I am always available to spend a fun afternoon out.

Booked by 1 family in Elmwood Park, IL

Hi! My name is Paulina, and I am currently offering childcare services. I have been caring for newborns and infants for the past two years, and it has been a wonderful experience! I love babies and enjoy being part of their growth and development. I handle stimulating games and activities, take them for walks and outdoor outings, and am always very attentive to nap and mealtime routines. I also offer cat-sitting services; I love cats and have cared for them since I was very young!

“Paulina has cared for my newborn baby with warmth and confidence. She is knowledgeable with baby routines and development. She is a pleasure to have in the house too.”

Booked by 1 family in Elmwood Park, IL

Hi, I’m Veronica! I’ve been babysitting for the past 4 years for families in the Bucktown and Lincoln park area as well as working as a childcare attendant currently working full time as a nanny. I have taken early childhood education coursework as well as art education coursework and I love to incorporate art and crafts while babysitting whenever possible. One thing I do to set myself apart from other sitters, is that I bring what I call my “babysitting go-bag” filled with arts and craft supplies, activity books, band-aids, and more. I’ve always got something for every personality! I’ve worn many hats in the childcare space such as birthday party attendant, camp counselor, babysitter, daycare attendant and nanny. I have a wide breadth of experience with children from 6 weeks - 14 years and I’d be happy to expand on my experience with your family. I’m comfortable with meal prep, bedtime, and any specific routines your family may follow.

“Veronica was great and really flexible as well. ”

"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)."
