Booked by 2 families in Forest Park, IL

I’m a dependable and caring babysitter with 3 years of experience supporting families and caring for children from newborns to 10 years old. I’m certified in CPR, First Aid, and AED, so safety is always a top priority. I’ve helped with everything from diaper changes and feeding to homework, playtime, and bedtime routines. I’ve cared for up to three kids at once and bring patience, positive energy, and a calm presence to every home. Whether it’s a fun-filled day or a quiet evening routine, I aim to create a warm, safe, and engaging environment where kids feel secure and parents feel confident.

“Julia was professional the entire time. Came on time and kept my child engaged the whole time. Our little one loved spending time with her.”

Arianna $20 per hour for 1 child

Hi, my name is Arianna and I’m currently pre-med at Loyola university and I am offering child care, senior care or any household services! I love babysitting and have been helping my family and their friends babysit since I was 14. My experience with babysitting has been really great, when I was 16 I had experienced caring for a special needs child which helped my ability to care for different children when it comes to their specific needs! I also help tutor kids with their homework. I don’t have a car but I do live in an apartment/dorm downtown so I can commute through public transportation and I also offer cooking, cleaning, and will run errands when needed to. I also care for pets (I am not allergic to animals).

Sofia $22 per hour for 1 child
Booked by 2 families in Forest Park, 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.

"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)."
