Litzy $25 per hour for 1 child

Hello, My name is Litzy and I have been a nanny/babysitter in the Chicago area for 7 years helping families which has helped me gain the experience that I obtain. I currently live in Chicago. I started babysitting when I was seventeen years old and started nannying in 2017. I have worked with children of all ages from newborns up to middle school ages and I've worked as a child care worker in Lombard working with infants and toddlers for three years. In my most previous job I gained experience with special needs children (ADHD & Autism). My favorite part of being a childcare worker is being able to explore new interests in children. I love nature and going to the park,libraries, zoo and museums. Previous employers could describe me as patient, punctual, and a self starter. I can provide a set schedule with your child's age group that consists of Reading,Writing,Math, Arts and crafts, and movement exercises. Aside from this I can help with homework,potty training, tummy time for babies, and introducing solids. I speak English and Spanish fluently. I am up to date with all vaccinations.I am CPR and First-Aid Certified, a non-smoker, and have a clean background and driving record if driving is needed.

Alex $15 per hour for 1 child

My name is Alex and I'm a recent graduate from the University of Chicago. I've been doing contract work since I graduated, but am looking for something more consistent as I prepare for and apply to law school. I'm offering child, pet, and house care services. I babysat throughout high school and, during the pandemic, nannied in Telluride, CO while attending class remotely for a year. While nannying I drove the kids to and from school, cooked, cleaned the house, tutored, fed and walked the dog, and regularly took the kids skiing.

Ana $18 per hour for 1 child

Hi! I have cared for my family member in different moments of their lives, from my brother's children to both my grandmas, as well for family pets. From that, I became confident in my abilities, care and compassion even when things get a little messy. I have treated caregiving as a side-hustle for a long time, sometimes being a child's cook or by giving an injured iguana, a bath (I also help my veterinarian friend sometimes!). You can trust me with your loved ones as I will take care of them as if they were my family.

"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)."
