Angel $20 per hour for 1 child

I have experience caring for children of different ages, and I truly enjoy creating a safe, fun, and nurturing environment for them. I’ve helped with daily routines such as homework, playtime, organizing activities, and keeping a consistent schedule. I understand how important it is for children to feel comfortable, supported, and engaged. I’m patient, attentive, and dependable, and I always make safety my top priority. I communicate well with both children and parents, making sure everyone feels heard and informed. I enjoy being creative through games, crafts, and outdoor activities, and I’m able to adapt to each child’s unique personality and needs. While I don’t have much experience with cooking yet, I’m very willing to learn and follow any instructions or meal guidelines provided. What makes me a great caregiver is my genuine care for children, my strong sense of responsibility, and my ability to stay calm and positive in any situation. I strive to build trust and create a warm environment where kids can learn, grow, and have fun.

Rhayna $18 per hour for 1 child

Hi! My name is Rhayna, and I am a recent Howard graduate from the Chicagoland area. I am offering childcare and some household services. I absolutely fell in love assisting and caring for children after volunteering with preschools in high school, watching family members, and promptly working at an early learning program facility during undergrad. At the early learning program, I would prepare lunch/snacks while keeping the children entertained, assisted in water play, outdoor games, and crafts, and most importantly, I encouraged children to build their self esteem and sense of confidence while engaging in different social and academic environments. Additionally, I assisted some teachers by reviewing assignments for young students, aged 2 to 5 year olds. During the years, I have gained experience in Spanish tutoring, homework help, sport practice, and even meal preparation as I enjoy cooking. I am sure I could be an asset to your family. I am allergic to cats and dogs, but I am okay to be around most small hypoallergenic pets. Lastly, it is important to me that I and the families I work with are in alignment, therefore I am always responsive and willing to reach your specific goals and make sure desires are met for your child(ren). Thank You Rhayna Berryhill

Marsha J $25 per hour for 1 child

My first job was babysitting in Chicago and western suburbs. I enjoy caring for children. I am a former television journalist, field producer, and news team manager with national and regional experience in multiple cities at major news companies. I have earned a bachelor’s and master’s degree, so far. I was awarded an honorary doctorate for extensive community-focused digital media programming. . I left it all to form a youth-focused nonprofit in Chicago. After helping youth and young parents with their children, I recently decided I would try being a nanny/child caregiver when another nanny told me I would be great at it because of my nurturing personality, skills and love for children & youth. I also love cleaning homes and businesses. I am the daughter of an amazing mother who cleaned at a large hospital. I joined the staff to raise money for college. I can do light cleaning or deep cleaning. I have my own car with insurance for drop offs or pick-ups. I know that having a busy family with children plus cleaning a home can be challenging. I love to utilize my large repertoire of skills and experiences to help others do better in life. I believe this Urban Sitter will be a good opportunity for me to grow as I help families and help to nurture and teach children while fulfilling a need for parents. Parents can breathe easy because their children will be safe, nurtured, and taught by me…a person who will genuinely do all I can to ensure their children are safe, nurtured, protected, and cared for by a sitter who takes her job seriously. I do speak Spanish at an intermediate level. I studied in Cuernavaca, Mexico. I understand as long as it is spoken at a slower speed. I love seeing precious children and teens grow and learn. Playing a role in this process brings me joy.

"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)."
