Jakaira 3 reviews
$19 per hour for 1 child

Hi! My name is Jakaira, but you can call me Kai. I am 19 years old and currently attending college part-time to pursue a nursing career. I am also a beginner caregiver for older adults. I have over 10 years of childcare experience, as I have been helping care for children since I was 9 years old. Over the years, I have discovered that I truly enjoy caring for children, building strong bonds with them, and developing positive relationships with their families. I love helping children learn new things, creating fun activities, and getting to know each child’s unique personality. I am also happy to help with homework, clean up after activities, and prepare simple meals when needed. In my free time, I enjoy painting, being creative, and coming up with fun and engaging activities for children. I was also a dancer throughout high school, which taught me discipline, patience, and teamwork. In addition to childcare, I am beginning my journey as a caregiver for older adults. While I am still gaining experience, I am a fast learner, dependable, and always willing to help. One of the things I enjoy most about caregiving is building meaningful connections, listening to people’s stories, and providing support when they need it. I am also comfortable around pets and have plenty of experience caring for dogs, as I grew up with them and currently have one of my own. I look forward to helping families by providing reliable, compassionate, and attentive care.

I would recommend Jakaira White she is a good baby sitter and she's good with people and she's has excellent customer service and she's also an accelerated learner and she's very dependable person. she baby sitted for me in the past and I would recommend her for both positions

Deanna $25 per hour for 1 child

Hi, After raising two sons (both in college) and working in corporate marketing for 30 years, I'm taking some time to figure out my second act. And, I really miss having kiddos around. I enjoy spending time and even babysitting some of my friend’s children. I’m a high-energy, responsible, and fun Mom. BTW, my son has nut allergies, so I’m uniquely qualified to be very careful with food allergies. I used to be a lifeguard and swim instructor, and I have a perfect driving record. Happy to share all documents and references. Hope to hear from you! Thanks, Deanna

Litzy $25 per hour for 1 child

Hello, My name is Litzy and I have been a nanny/babysitter in the Chicago area for 7 years helping families which has helped me gain the experience that I obtain. I currently live in Chicago. I started babysitting when I was seventeen years old and started nannying in 2017. I have worked with children of all ages from newborns up to middle school ages and I've worked as a child care worker in Lombard working with infants and toddlers for three years. In my most previous job I gained experience with special needs children (ADHD & Autism). My favorite part of being a childcare worker is being able to explore new interests in children. I love nature and going to the park,libraries, zoo and museums. Previous employers could describe me as patient, punctual, and a self starter. I can provide a set schedule with your child's age group that consists of Reading,Writing,Math, Arts and crafts, and movement exercises. Aside from this I can help with homework,potty training, tummy time for babies, and introducing solids. I speak English and Spanish fluently. I am up to date with all vaccinations.I am CPR and First-Aid Certified, a non-smoker, and have a clean background and driving record if driving is needed.

"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)."
