Zephaniah $18 per hour for 1 child

Hi, my name is Zephaniah! I’m 19 years old, have my own reliable transportation. While I’m new to babysitting through this app, I have plenty of hands-on experience caring for friends’ and family members’ children—always receiving positive feedback! I truly enjoy working with kids and making a difference in their lives. I’m respectful of every family’s rules and will always check in before making any decisions. I also love cooking (just let me know about any allergies), playing games, keeping kids entertained, and helping with homework. Plus, I don’t mind tidying up to make things easier for parents. Caring for children is something I’m passionate about, and I look forward to bringing a fun, safe, and supportive environment to every family I work with!

Booked by 1 family in Glenwood, IL

I always like kids, I like them to be free to play and learn in a safe environment. I like to help them to grow at their pace but exploring their own potential. I was some years in college in the biology carrer. I'm a mother of two and I'm ready to help.

“Olivia was great with my kids. She's very professional, she was punctual and even tidied up while she was at my home. The thing that stood out the most was how quickly my 2 year old son warmed up to her. It usually takes him a few times to get to comfortable with people, but she was so sweet and kind that he loved her right away! I will continue to hire her for our future babysitting needs.”

Mayra $21 per hour for 1 child

Hi, my name is Mayra! I am currently offering childcare and housekeeping.I have started a degree in education and hope to finish soon! I began baby sitting for family members at 12 years old. At 18, I began working with school ages 5 and up in Sunday school. Eventually, I applied at a daycare at 19 and started in the infant room. Equipped with crucial knowledge and CPR classes, I am comfortable working with any age group. Crafts and fun activities are usually my favorite things to do with children. Household responsibilities I can handle include: cleaning, organizing, cooking, and running errands.

"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."

"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)."
