Booked by 1 family in Evanston, IL

Hi! My name is Sarah Elizabeth, and I am a recent Masters graduate looking for child-care opportunities until I start my full-time accounting job in October. I will be available starting August 10th. I love being a babysitter and have been watching newborns, infants, toddlers, and kids since I was 14 years old. My responsibilities have included driving to/from school, crafts, tutoring, and even dance lessons. However, I will not have a car once I move to the city. I also work as a household assistant and can cook, clean, and run errands.

Booked by 1 family in Evanston, IL

Hello families! I'm Jason Gonzalez, an energetic Teacher's Assistant for Pre-K: 4-5, working for CPS for 3 years. I have two years experience in the Pre-K setting, and also one year of experience with age groups 7-9. At work I specialize in leading academic activities (e.g math, writing), and put a large emphasis on social and emotional development. My classroom also takes pride in play-based learning, which has helped our entire pre-k team earn a gold star rating! I currently attend Dominican University pursuing a Bachelors in History with a concentration in Education. My graduation date is Spring 2027. With my combined educational classes/field work and hands-on experience working in a public school setting, I consider myself an ideal candidate for childcare of all age ranges and backgrounds! I have also cared for both cats and dogs between family and friends throughout my academic career, and enjoy their company as much as anyone else's 🥰

“Jason was very responsive and professional, and my kids (3 and 5) had a great time with him. Jason has a very calm presence and knows how to engage/talk to kids. He helped my boys with dinner and bedtime, and the kids especially enjoyed book time with Jason. We’ll ask him to babysit again.”

Evangeline $20 per hour for 1 child
Booked by 1 family in Evanston, IL

I have worked with children for more than 8 years, from babysitting to volunteer programs to camp counseling. I bring joy, fun, structure, and attention to detail to my work with children, making the experience enjoyable and the adjustment smooth for kids and parents alike. My primary experience is with children ages 2-14, but I have occasionally worked with younger and older children, as well. Furthermore, I have more than 10 years of experience with pet sitting, becoming a reliable sitter and walker for families with dogs, cats, rabbits, guinea pigs, and other household animals. I provide more-than-minimum attention, care, and love, making sure that pets feel safe and cared for while owners are away.

Kierra $22 per hour for 1 child

Hello, my name is Kierra and I am a recent college graduate from the Soma Institute. I received my diploma in clinical massage therapy. I have always had a passion and heart for helping others, whether it is for infants, kids and even adults. For the past 12 years, I have been actively involved in helping parents and several families with childcare. I prioritize the children(s) wants and needs, while creating a safe environment for their overall well being. My responsibilities for childcare are versatile with driving to and from school, after school programs, homework assistance, prepping meals, household cleanliness, and preparing daily summer activities. I am fun, energetic, driven, responsible, dependable and spontaneous while ensuring the safety upon the children(s) that I am taking care of. I am driven to provide any family with active comprehension skills regarding the wants and needs of their young ones. Lastly, outside of taking care of children, I have lots of experience with house and pet sitting.

Theo $24 per hour for 1 child

Hi! My name is Theo and I'm an artist with extensive childcare experience. I began my childcare journey in 2020 as a private swim instructor for children with special needs, then moved into part time and full time nannying while working as a barista. I currently work as an Outdoor Lead Guide for a young toddler class at a Montessori preschool. As much as I love my students and the community of families I work with, I am attending a full time circus school program beginning in the fall and need to work later hours in the day to accommodate with my class schedule. My favorite thing about working with children is witnessing them experience the world for the first time. It's truly amazing how much you can learn about life by observing a kiddo's unfiltered perspective. Working with younger children has always brought a deep sense of fulfillment and joy to my life. I would love to meet you and your family to see if I'm the right fit for you and your needs!

"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)."
