Itzel $20 per hour for 1 child

Hi, my name is Itzel. I am currently in college working on my associates for Nursing pediatric care. I enjoy being active and playing sports. I’ve been babysitting and senior care since I was about 16 years old and I enjoy it. Being able to spend time with children and others is great. I enjoy watching them grow and being able to support them. Being creative and teaching new activities as well as learning new things they also like. Staying organized and helping others also makes me happy especially when it also makes them happy. Also organizing and cleaning is very important for safety. I enjoy making different kinds of food/meals. It just feels great being there for someone & supporting them!

Sofia $22 per hour for 1 child
Booked by 2 families in Evanston, IL

⸻ Hello! My name is Sofia, and I am 24 years old. I graduated from Marquette University in May of 2024 with my bachelor’s degree in Sociology and am currently pursuing my master’s in HR at DePaul University. I moved to Chicago in early June of 2024 and since then have been nannying for a family I met through this app. I’m now seeking another part-time position since he will be starting preschool. I have 4 years of experience working with children in roles such as preschool teacher, nanny, and mental health technician. I value clear, efficient communication and always strive to provide that as a nanny. I enjoy keeping to a routine tailored to each child’s needs so they feel secure and know what to expect each day. My goal as a caregiver is to create a safe, nurturing, and positive environment. I’m also happy to help around the house or run any errands you may need—I have my own car, so transportation is never an issue. My availability is flexible, but I’m usually available Monday–Friday anytime before 2:00 pm, with some availability for date nights as well.

Britanya $25 per hour for 1 child

Hello! Hi! My name is Britney, and I’m 25 years old. I graduated from Columbia College Chicago with a Bachelor's degree in Illustration. I would describe myself as optimistic, creative, kind, and a little silly. My long-term goals are to pursue a variety of artistic career opportunities and someday become a mother myself. I enjoy working with children because I love being a positive role model and helping them learn, grow, and feel supported. I began babysitting for friends and family, which led me to work at a daycare as a Teacher's Assistant and Floater. These experiences helped me develop strong leadership, communication, and patience skills. In my free time, I enjoy drawing, playing video games, and spending time with friends and family. One thing families should know about me is that I highly value respect, honesty, and open communication. I strive to create a safe, fun, and supportive environment for every child I work with.

"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)."
