Alivia $25 per hour for 1 child

I recently moved to Chicago upon completion of my degree in dance through the Alonzo King Lines Ballet. Throughout the last 7 years, I have built up a plethora of experience nannying families of all types in an effort to support my professional dance journey. I've worked with families with up to four children, as well cared for families with kids as young as newborns and as old as teenagers (both in part-time and full-time capacities). Additionally, I have extensive experience with kids with disabilities. In all these roles, I have been known for building genuine connections, maintaining organization, and stepping in wherever needed! Whether it be niche tasks you ask to be fulfilled or little things you didn't even know you needed taking care of, I bring a thoughtful, caring, and hands-on approach to care. I am looking forward to helping families in the area and growing my range of community here in a new city. Please don't hesitate to reach out with any questions! I am happy to provide more information about myself as well as a number of references and a full caretaking resume at your request.

Hi, I am 3rd year medical student and I know how hard it can be sometimes to understand concepts of math science and even spelling and writing for a 1st grader. I love teaching. I would be happy to help them understand and ease their difficulties with all the joy and love I have for teaching!

Jale was wonderful and our son Miles really enjoyed spending the time with her. She jumped right into playing with Miles w/out missing a beat and stayed positive, friendly and flexible throughout her visit and while watching our son. Highly recommended, Jale is fantastic!

Hi, My name is Pam and I currently attend Oakton community college in hopes of going to medical school in the future. I’m offering child care, senior care, as well as household services as my schedule is pretty flexible. I have been babysitting for over 7 years now and I’ve watched kids of all ages, as well as multiple kids at once. My responsibilities have included driving to/from school and after school activities, tutoring, and keeping kids occupied with fun activities and crafts. I have experience in household services such as cooking, cleaning, and running errands. I am comfortable working with senior care as I have been a part-time caretaker for my grandmother in the past. I can assist with daily tasks, take to appointments, as well as cook.

Pamela was AMAZING! Will definitely book her again to babysit for us. She was on time, was able to jump into our crazy schedule with little oversight, so proactive (made our sons lunch for the next day), and stayed late at the last minute. She was gentle and kind and patient with our son, taking him to the park, coloring with them, helping with the scooters. She put everything away and was just very nice!

"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)."
