Annalea $20 per hour for 1 child

Hi! My name is Annalea and I'm currently a junior at Loyola Chicago. I'm offering part-time and occasional child care and household services! I come from a big family and I've always loved kids and have been around them my whole life. I've also been babysitting and teaching swim lessons to kids of all ages for about five years!! Some of my favorite things to do with kids are crafts, hands-on learning activities, and outdoor adventures. I was homeschooled for several years so I have a lot of experience with at-home learning! I also do a lot of house-sitting and pet-sitting jobs during my college breaks so I can offer various household services and house/dog-sitting. I love animals and am happy to care for them as well.

Audrey $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.

Booked by 1 family in Evanston, IL

Hello! My name is Amy! Since I was a kid myself, I’ve loved watching over my younger siblings/cousins, neighborhood kids etc. It was a responsibility I took upon my own, which I love! What really did it for me was being in daycare & having such caring & nurturing teachers that one day myself, I’d wanna be in this field. I have 9 years experience babysitting, 1 year professional experience working in daycares as an assistant teacher & 1 year being a nanny. I am certified in First Aid & CPR. I really do enjoy spending quality time with children. Whether that’d be going to the park, indoor/outdoor activities, social/emotional learning skills, school learning activities etc. I am also able to help out in any way shape or form! Whether that’d be cleaning, chores, provide personal care aide such as toileting, hygiene, eating etc. I am very comfortable with pets and able to care for more than one child! On top of everything, I do understand parents point of view, where trust, respect, responsibility & loyalty come in. I do assure to treat every single child that is in my care, as if they were my own child. I will provide a safe, calm & nurturing environment.

"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)."
