Ashley 2 reviews
$20 per hour for 1 child
Booked by 2 families in Elmwood Park, IL

Hello! My name is Ashley, and I live in Lakeview! I work as an elementary school paraprofessional/teacher’s aid, and I have 5+ years of child care under my belt as well as experience caregiving for children and adults with a range of disabilities. I am originally from the metro-Detroit area, and hold a BFA degree in acting. When working in childcare, I often use my performing arts background to create enriching and exciting activities for the kids! I am energetic and fun, and will make sure your children are well cared for while also reinforcing your family routine and daily expectations. Building off of my performing arts background, my teaching experience has given me the knowledge necessary to provide structure and set clear expectations. I would love to talk with you more and get to know your family!

Ashley is easygoing, respectful and great at communicating...a delight! My kids had nothing but great things to say. Would definitely have her over to hang with the kids again!

Hi! I’m Piper. I’m currently working full-time as a server, but in my free time, I love doing what I’m passionate about—caring for children. I typically work Thursdays through Sundays, but I’m happy to adjust my schedule to meet your family’s needs. I studied Early Childhood Education in High School and have six years of experience caring for children, especially for family friends and neighbors. I'm patient and great at building connections with children with all kinds of personalities. I'm most experienced with children 18 months and older. In addition to childcare, I offer household support such as light cleaning, meal prep, and running errands. I have my own reliable transportation, which makes me flexible and available for pickups, drop offs, or anything your family may need. I’m also an animal lover and wouldn't mind caring for your furry family members as well. I’d love the opportunity to create a safe, engaging, and positive environment for your children- and to make your life easier too!

Yessica 1 review
$22 per hour for 1 child

Hello! New on this app so I have no reviews yet. Please give me the opportunity. I’ve always been very family oriented. Have been babysitting my 10 year old goddaughter since she was a new born as well as my nieces & nephew that are under the age of 5. I babysit my cousins & friends kids when I’m needed. I’ve always been good with children & love to play, color, read and interact with them. I’d like to become a permanent trustworthy sitter to where it’s comfortable for the kids and build that relationship!

Yessica has watched my two children. She is caring, responsible, and reliable. The kids adore her, and we feel totally at ease knowing they are with her! Thank you for all you do!

Booked by 4 families in Elmwood Park, IL

Hey! I’m Nikki the Nanny! I’m funny, easygoing, bright, communicative, energetic, adaptable, compassionate and simply adore children and all animals. I’m a career nanny and mother with over sixteen years of experience with children from 0-12. I’ve cared for up to three children at once and have had multiple successful nanny shares. As a nanny I can organize themed weeks highlighting one particular animal, sound, culture, idea, with trips, art, or music associated with that theme. Book making, science projects, sewing, directing little films, art, dance, robot building and more are all fun activities I’ve done with my nanny kids. I drive, swim, don’t smoke and I’m current in all immunizations. I can lift over 100lbs, walk long distances, paint, play sports, cook, assemble furniture, food prep and have early speech therapy training and teach baby sign language as well. I live on the north side of Chicago. I am CPR/AED and First Aid certified. I have impeccable professional references however my toddler and my teenager are my greatest references. My teenager is bright, happy, confident, hilarious and attends the Lane Tech High School AP Omega program earning college credits as a senior. My toddler has over 200 words and understands some Spanish. I raise them with love, patience, discipline and respect with a focus on education, the same things I implement into my “nannying”. Thank you for stopping by!

"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)."
