$17 per hour for 1 child
Booked by 1 family in Harwood Heights, IL

Hi my name is Yesenia, I’m currently free for babysitting any day at anytime until August 25th because it’s when I will start my college courses. Once I start school I can babysit at anytime on weekends and past 4 PM on weekdays. I love babysitting especially the younger kids with creative mindsets. I worked with young kids in a camp for the past 3 years. My responsibilities for the camp would be doing activities with the kids,playing with them, and keeping a good eye on them so they wouldn’t get hurt. If you aren’t comfortable with my prices we can talk about what price you would be comfortable with and see if we can come to an agreement. I am comfortable with cleaning the house and taking care of pets. The only thing I can’t touch or be near is shrimp I am allergic to it so I won’t be able to be around it if your child eats that. I may not have a car but I have very reliable transportation to and from the place🙂! I’m very excited to work with multiple and different families and get to know them!

"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)."

Eric D., dad of two
