$24 per hour for 1 child

I'd describe my personality as Patient , kind, dependable and attentive I've spent most of my life helping care for children, which naturally taught me patience, responsibility, organization, and how to create a fun and nurturing environment for kids. I love engaging children in creative activities, pretend play, outdoor time, and helping them learn through fun experiences. I've been babysitting since my freshman year of college, so I'm very comfortable managing routines, preparing meals and snacks, keeping play areas and kitchens tidy, and helping maintain an organized space. I'm also comfortable around pets, and I genuinely enjoy helping families keep things running smoothly however I can. I take initiative, pay attention to detail, and always aim to create a safe, positive, and caring environment for children. I'd love the opportunity to support your family and become someone your daughter or son feels comfortable, happy, and excited to spend time with. Your child's safety and comfort are my top priorities.I show up on time, keep your kids safe, and make sure they feel cared for and respected while you're away. I have childcare experience in both caregiving and nurturing roles and i am passionate about creating caring, engaging, and supportive environments for children. I’m dependable, attentive, organized, and deeply value building trust with both children and families.

I am a highly experienced, well/educated (Masters degree), kind, patient, warm, and fun caregiver. I have worked with families with children ranging in age from 2 months to middle school age. I have completed pediatric first aid and CPR training. The parents for whom I have recently worked include a clinical psychologist/professor at Northwestern, a nursing instructor at Loyola, and a neonatologist in residency at Northwestern. I’m happy to provide references. I genuinely love spending my time with children of all ages. Whenever the weather allows, I take kids out for long nature walks. I also enjoy encouraging kids to express themselves artistically. I love baking with kids. My absolute favorite caregiving activity is reading bedtime stories and singing I’m happy to provide a resume and references upon request. I live in Skokie and we have a three year old rescue lab/hound mix named Korra. I love dogs and I am comfortable with all kinds of pets. I’m very happy to help out with laundry, dishes, and picking up around the house whenever the kids are napping. While the kids are awake, I keep my focus on ensuring that they are safe, fed, and having fun. I do not spend time on my phone while caregiving, other than to check in with parents or provide updates. Thanks for your consideration. Rosanne

Olivia Chicago
$25 per hour for 1 child

Hi! My name is Olivia, and I have a background in luxury retail, customer service, and caregiving for children in my family. I’ve helped care for my 5-year-old nephew along with several younger cousins over the years, so I’m very comfortable keeping kids entertained, safe, and engaged. I’m patient, energetic, reliable, and love creating a fun environment where children feel comfortable and cared for. I offer babysitting, homework help, light housekeeping, meal/snack prep, bedtime routines, errands, and pet care if needed. I’m very hands-on and attentive — I’m not someone who sits on my phone while watching kids. They always have my full attention. I have experience with toddlers and young children and enjoy activities like arts & crafts, movies, outdoor walks, games, baking, reading, and creative play. I’m also happy to help with schoolwork and keeping routines organized. I’m comfortable around pets, including larger dogs, and can help with feeding, walks, and playtime. I’m also open to helping with household tasks like laundry, tidying up, organizing, dishes, and grocery runs. While I’m not CPR certified yet, I’m very open to becoming certified and take child safety seriously. I’m flexible, dependable, and excited to help make life easier for busy families!

"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)."
