Booked by 1 family in Forest Park, IL

Hi- my name is Leslie (jannet) I am 21years old I do have a job I only work Fridays overnights and 12hr shifts on the weekends. I am a non-smoker and drinker. I’m a security officer at Chicago downtown as my main job. The rest is off days I am open minded, fast learner, great listener and very patient when it comes to kiddos. I’ve worked at daycare and have done observation hours in college. I have 3 year experience with children including my family kids. I know nanny roles but never been one due to not having certifications at the moment but I am studying “early Childhood education” with a minor in “ESL and bilingual endorsement” . Which yes I am bilingual and I can teach children Spanish and sign language. I am reliable when it’s needed and currently I don’t have a car but I can take your kids to the park or pick them up walking or bus transportation ! Kids get attach to me quickly and I would treat them like if they were mine. For household services I go all out when it comes to cleaning and sanitation and organizing homes as well I have 3-4 years of experience I seem like it’s my hobby more than a chore. If I’m someone you’re looking for please send me a message directly in the app! I can’t wait to meet you:)

Erin $20 per hour for 1 child

I've been in radio broadcasting since I was 20 years old. Currently I'm the midday host at 94.7FM (10-3pm) and mother of an amazing 12-year-old son. My passion is to find the commonality in all humans. To add some levity and humor to all of the things we deal with in life. My childcare experience started very early in life. I was babysitting my older sisters 4 kids since I was 15 years old. I've been a room parent in my son's classroom from K-6th grade. I've been heavily involved in my son's travel baseball team for the last 5 years. Caring for other kids on the team. Giving them rides to and from events. Having sleep overs. Always the chaperone for the team to water parks, dinners, games and more. I've also been a dog walker. Owned my own service for a few years. I'm comfortable around any animal and enjoy them as much as I do children. I grew up with a friend whose father was a quadriplegic and helped with his care. I was very close to my grandmother and wanted to make her comfortable in her senior years. Washing her hair, helping her get up the stairs and cooking for her. Now that my son is getting older, and my schedule is flexible, I want to help other families. Not having family or resources in Chicago to help raise my son, I know how extremely valuable it would have been to have had help from a sitter that I could trust. I want to be that comfort for others.

Serenity $19 per hour for 1 child
Booked by 2 families in Forest Park, IL

Hi- My name is Serenity and I am a law student working towards being a lawyer within the next few years! I enjoy working with infants, toddlers, and kids all the time. I’ve been working with/being in charge of youth since the age of 14 years old as I worked in a youth center for 3 years now. My responsibilities that have been held firmly would be tutoring, taking them to their own lessons or after school programs. I work as a household assistant as well as i cook, clean and able to teach the children. I have also been a great caregiver to the older generation as well such as my grandparents and helping out with going to doctors appointments, running errands and just being able to help out with what I can. I have no allergies so cats and dogs are very welcome for me!

"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)."
