I'm a full-time social work graduate student looking for part or full-time babysitting positions. I have over 10 years of experience babysitting and nannying, working with families that have children aged 1-15, and providing care to family pets. I am currently interning at a school, and have worked in educational settings for three years, providing instruction in social-emotional learning and English. I am passionate about working with children, and I use my practice as a social worker to provide a stable and caring environment for the kids I work with. I am happy to cook meals and help with homework as desired!

Nadia $29 per hour for 1 child

I'm Nadia, 30, Chicagoland born & raised. 10+ yrs experience- everything from babysitting to PT mothers helper to a FT live-in Nanny/House Manager. My caregiver style is very much a "family assistant" type, I do well in those roles, as that's what I've mostly done (as a HM). I own my own (reliable) vehicle, seats 5, and have a clean driving record. I've worked with almost all ages- ranging from 3 months to 17yrs old & I have cared for up to 4 children in one household. Vaccinated. Pet friendly (love animals!). Have my CNA, & CPR certified. Non-smoker/drinker. PT online student, child development + future RN. No issue with a background check/providing references! Flexible on pretty much all things like schedule, days, hours, & no issues with commuting or traveling with the family whatsoever. Open to both PT/FT. Feel free to ask away if there's anything you'd like to know/hear more about that I didn't cover. Hope to hear from you!

$15 per hour for 1 child
Booked by 1 family in Elmwood Park, IL

Hi, I’m Matt. I just downloaded this app. I’ve been a teacher, coach and babysitter in Chicago for many years. I run a sports camp in the summer and after school sports classes a couple days a week. I also love playing piano! I have my masters in Elementary Ed. Let me know if you need any help. I have a very safe car.

“Matt was great! He arrived on time and asked thoughtful questions to make sure he understood all our instructions. He was quick to respond to texts and kept us updated, which we really appreciated. My son’s review says it all: “I want Matt to come back again!” We’ll definitely have him back!”

"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."

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)."
