Haley $20 per hour for 1 child

I’m Haley, I’m a Lakeview East resident mainly looking for part time work baby sitting! I have 8 years of childcare experience under my belt. I am currently teaching theatre classes part-time in the Chicago area and most recently assistant taught a 3-4 year old classroom at a daycare full time. I also have experience nannying/house managing, facilitating after school programs, teaching swim lessons, and being an inclusion aide. Most of my experience is with 3-5 year olds but I have experience working with kids from age 1 to 12. I have a handful of ECE certificates from Gateway including pediatric first aid/CPR certification, mandated reporter certification, ECE level 1 credentials, Trauma Informed practice, SIDS and SBS prevention, and a Food Handlers certificate. My main interests are anything creative! I’m always happy to set up crafts, play guitar and sing with kids, play theatre games, or read. I am pet friendly and come from a smoke-free home.

Esha $16 per hour for 1 child

Hi! I am a 23 year old recent college graduate who is planning on starting nursing school this summer. I grew up as the eldest sibling and eldest cousin of our family, so I have had ample experience caring for younger children of all ages. I also have a 4-year-old golden retriever at home and love working with pets. My friends would describe me as energetic, optimistic, creative and responsible. I grew up babysitting children of family members and family friends ranging from 3 months to 12 years old. I also volunteered at the Post Anesthesia Care Unit at Lurie Children's Hospital for a summer, where I helped toddlers and young children recover after surgeries. Whether this meant playing bedside coloring book games, telling a funny story, taking patient temperatures, assisting with procedures and more -I have plenty of experience working with children and remaining calm in a high pressure setting. I am excited to use my experience to best care for your children and pets!

Hello, I'm a professionally state licensed elementary teacher and Montessori trained educator with six years experience teaching multi-age children in the elementary classroom. I am fun, creative, and caring and have spent my whole life caring for and educating children, working with every age group from infant through high school. I love spending time with my young son, spending time outdoors, playing with sounds and music, giving him sensory and practical life experiences, and reading books. In my spare time, I work on writing projects and watercolor paint.

Medb $25 per hour for 1 child

Hello! I'm Medb and I use they/them pronouns. I'm 22 years old and am a psychology and statistics student at Cal Poly Humboldt, though am currently home in Lincoln Park for the summer. Since I was 12, I've worked for an organization called CircEsteem, a youth circus located in Uptown. There, I was a counselor, coach, and mentor for kids ages 2-17. I was immersed in a very diverse environment, and gained experience caring for children with different support needs. I also have taken care of infants as young as 3 months. As a sitter, and more broadly as an individual, I ground myself in the values of empathy, creativity, community, and self-esteem. Through play and art, I hope to aid in teaching kids the importance of loving ourselves and others. Additionally, I have worked as a tutor for both grade school and high school students and am always happy to help with homework. I am currently task training my own service dog, and am very pet friendly :) And as a fun little bonus, I love teaching kids basic circus skills like juggling, and am into all kinds of art work and creative projects! I look forward to hearing from you:) *CPR and First Aid Certified* *Vaccinated and boosted*

"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)."
