Alexandra $25 per hour for 1 child

Hi there! I am the ideal 21- year-old babysitter if you're searching for someone who is responsible, courteous, gregarious, professional, and bilingual. Born & raised in the city of Chicago I’ve always enjoyed being outdoors. I know my way around the whole city, with that being hopefully I can take your kid and or kiddos to a museum or park, etc! I was the only female student on my campus to graduate with a biliteracy seal on her diploma. I hold both national and international certifications. I also graduated with honors. I presided over a club in middle school and the drill flag team (majorette with a flag) in high school. I enjoy baking and cooking, and I don't mind doing so for an additional fee. With me, I hope to be able to help your children feel secure and at ease not only with them but the parent(s) as well.

Meg $20 per hour for 1 child

I have been a childcare professional for 15+ years for all kinds of children from infants to families of five. My love for taking care of others and lightening their load motivates my work. I consider myself a sunny and generous person and it is my goal to make a profound positive impact on the lives of the families I care for. I aim to become an intuitive helper whose main goal is to provide a safe and loving environment for children to learn and develop. I care deeply about aiding children in their development physically, mentally, and emotionally through communication, nutritious eating, and enriching activities and play. It would be my pleasure to help out with any kind of childcare you are in need of!

Booked by 2 families in Evanston, IL

Hi! I’m a graduate from Loyola University and am pursuing my Masters in Education. I’m offering child care, pet care, and household services. I’ve been working with children from the ages of 3 months to 13 years old for 6+ years now and have enjoyed every minute of it! I have years of experience in the school/classroom setting as well as babysitting for all different age levels. Working in these positions is a very fulfilling and rewards experience that taught me patience, creativity, and responsibility. Whether it’s playing games, helping with homework, or simply offering a listening ear, each interaction I’ve had contributes to the love I have for my job and building that safe and nurturing environment!

“Brianna has a sweet and nurturing nature that is immediately clear the second she walked in the door. Prior to the job, she was very communicative and responsive. She was professional and genuinely has a passion for spending time with kids. ”

"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)."
