Booked by 4 families in Evanston, IL

Hello! My name is Che! I am currently a Special Education Teacher in one of Chicago Public Schools. I am teaching primarily Math in High School (I can show you my CPS ID if needed). Before teaching high school, I was teaching Math for 3 years in Middle School. I also have an experience working with younger kids. I was a preschool teacher for 3 years. I can do tutoring and homework help! I used to take care of my grandma when I was in College until she passed away. I love working with seniors because I feel like they have the most genuine heart! I also have a certification for Adult, Child and Baby First Aid/CPR/AED from American Red Cross. Growing up, we had a pit bull as another member of our family. After she died, we adopted another dog which was a Shitzu, she passed away last year. Now, I am mom of a 2 year old Shitzu. I love cleaning and washing dishes! I don’t know why but I’m also organized at home! I can do cleaning, cooking (especially Asian food), do errands, do laundry and etc…. but I can’t drive. I’m stepping away from teaching to complete my master’s degree so I’m looking for a side job/full time job similar to my passion as a teacher. Currently, I am also a nanny to a family with a 2-year old child about 14 hours weekly!

Che was very responsive, excellent communication and arrived early. My son enjoyed his time with her and I wouldn’t hesitate to hire her again!

Ashley 2 reviews
$20 per hour for 1 child
Booked by 2 families in Evanston, IL

Hello! My name is Ashley, and I live in Lakeview! I work as an elementary school paraprofessional/teacher’s aid, and I have 5+ years of child care under my belt as well as experience caregiving for children and adults with a range of disabilities. I am originally from the metro-Detroit area, and hold a BFA degree in acting. When working in childcare, I often use my performing arts background to create enriching and exciting activities for the kids! I am energetic and fun, and will make sure your children are well cared for while also reinforcing your family routine and daily expectations. Building off of my performing arts background, my teaching experience has given me the knowledge necessary to provide structure and set clear expectations. I would love to talk with you more and get to know your family!

Ashley is easygoing, respectful and great at communicating...a delight! My kids had nothing but great things to say. Would definitely have her over to hang with the kids again!

Alivia $25 per hour for 1 child

I recently moved to Chicago upon completion of my degree in dance through the Alonzo King Lines Ballet. Throughout the last 7 years, I have built up a plethora of experience nannying families of all types in an effort to support my professional dance journey. I've worked with families with up to four children, as well cared for families with kids as young as newborns and as old as teenagers (both in part-time and full-time capacities). Additionally, I have extensive experience with kids with disabilities. In all these roles, I have been known for building genuine connections, maintaining organization, and stepping in wherever needed! Whether it be niche tasks you ask to be fulfilled or little things you didn't even know you needed taking care of, I bring a thoughtful, caring, and hands-on approach to care. I am looking forward to helping families in the area and growing my range of community here in a new city. Please don't hesitate to reach out with any questions! I am happy to provide more information about myself as well as a number of references and a full caretaking resume at your request.

"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)."
