Alex $15 per hour for 1 child

I am an artist with extensive service industry experience. In addition to yoga instruction, I am very passionate about both art therapy and health consciousness. I fell into Care-giving after my mum suffered a brain aneurysm rupture in March of 2020. My Pandemic experience was filled with aiding my brain damaged mother during every day tasks. I learned so much....about care giving and about myself. My patience and understanding have been the strength that keeps me going. The experience has made me even more mentally flexible and welcoming of any challenge; new or existing. My Theatre training has also been tantamount to my ability to relate to and engage with others. I look forward to meeting new people and helping anyone I can. My name means 'savior of men'. But, I'm happy knowing I made someone's life a little better than it was. And, I most definitely plan to stay on said path.

Experienced Nanny Looking for My Next Opportunity – Available July 1st 📍Lake View, IL Hello, My name is Ingrid, and I am an experienced nanny with over 7 years of experience caring for children of all ages, from newborns to 12 years old. I am a former Au Pair from Brazil and am now looking for my next nanny position in the Chicago area. I have extensive experience caring for multiple children, including twins, children with special needs, and foster children. I am CPS certified and authorized to work with foster kids. I am also CPR and First Aid certified, and all my vaccinations are up to date. I’m a confident and safe driver with a clean driving record, and I’m very comfortable handling school drop-offs/pick-ups and driving children to daily activities. As a nanny, I am known for being responsible, reliable, organized, and proactive. I genuinely care about the well-being and development of the children in my care and strive to create a safe, nurturing, and positive environment. I am also happy to help with light housekeeping related to the children’s routines, ensuring a clean and organized space. I would love the opportunity to discuss how I can support your family. Please feel free to reach out! Warmly, Ingrid

Hello! I have babysat for more than 10 families in the past, and really enjoyed my experience getting to know each family! I have experience working with children as young as 3 months old to as old as 14 years old. I am familiar working with kids who may have Autism, ADHD, or both. I am very patient and kind, and try to accommodate to each family I meet in the capacity that’s needed. I love cats! But am a bit shy of dogs.

Hi families, hola familias! My name is Juliebeth and I am currently enrolled at Loyola University pursuing a B.S in Psychology. I am bilingual, fluent in Spanish and English. I have always had a passion for working with children. Ever since I can remember, I would care for my siblings and babysit younger cousins. I am a former Montessori teacher for a Toddler Spanish Immersion classroom and worked with about 12 children a day, ages 2-3. I was also an assistant in a 3-6 year old Montessori Spanish classroom. I am CPR and First Aid certified. I am COVID vaccinated and can provide proof of this. My hobbies besides babysitting include cooking, working out and watching movies. I love baseball games, traveling and spending time with my family. I have a vehicle of my own, transportation is not an issue. I am a very safe driver and have insurance/driver’s license, if needed to travel with children. I am also available to help with homework and light housework! I love to find activities to do in the city and I am always looking around. Please do not hesitate to reach out, I will get back to you as soon as possible.

"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)."
