Booked by 1 family in Fort Sheridan, IL

I finished high school and am taking a gap year. I enjoy babysitting the kids in my neighborhood and would like to find more opportunities to babysit with other families. I do not believe in being on my phone while I am with your children. I believe in spending time with them and doing things that they enjoy. I am very creative and particularly love doing art projects and baking.

We really appreciated Lilia. She was fun, listened, and mad my little guy comfortable.

Booked by 2 families in Fort Sheridan, 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.

Timothy $15 per hour for 1 child

As a nurturing and experienced childcare provider with 14 years of experience, I'm passionate about fostering children's growth and development. My friendly and patient demeanor creates a safe and nurturing environment where children thrive. I believe in open communication with parents and follow their preferred method to discuss their child's day or any concerns. I'm very comfortable enforcing household rules and enjoy playing a variety of games with children, from educational games that promote learning to outdoor sports and board games. With my teaching certification, ECE training, and early child development coursework, I'm equipped to provide a well-rounded and stimulating experience for your child. Additionally, I'm available to assist with cooking, meal preparation, light housekeeping, and swimming supervision. Your child's happiness and safety are my top priorities.

"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)."
