Savannah $20 per hour for 1 child

Hi! I'm Savannah and I'm a recent graduate from Northwestern University (with my B.A. in Psychology)! I have always loved working with kids and would love to be a helpful addition for your family! I love chatting and getting to know kids and all they have to share about, in addition to having lots of fun ideas for activities we can try! I'm also very solid in my knowledge of elementary-aged school subjects and could be a helpful tutor to your little ones (I am quite a nerd myself and actually enjoy helping with homework if that sounds useful!). I am into all kinds of hobbies including arts and crafts (especially crochet) and dancing, but always open to learn new things! I've volunteered with toddlers and elementary-aged children in different settings and was also a part-time babysitter for boys who were a bit older (end of middle school) this past year, so I can connect with various age groups. I thoroughly enjoy growing bonds with children of all ages and value the time I can spend acting as a strong role model, while still keeping it fun and safe for everyone! My goal is to really "get in where I fit in" for the family and provide any additional services as needed, whether it be walking the dog or cleaning up the kitchen, so we can discuss however it works best for your current situation. I currently work part-time in a psychology lab at Northwestern, so much of that is pretty flexible timing-wise. If this sounds like a good fit, feel free to reach out and I'm sure we can find a plan that works best. Looking forward to hearing from you!!

Bella $15 per hour for 1 child

Hello my name is Bella, I am 20 years old and I am a sophomore at the University of Loyola Chicago. I love and adore kids, I have been working with them since I was 13 years old from nannying to camps. I have experience with all ages, but I have the most in ages 6-12 as I used to nanny a family for a few years who had kids between those ages. My major is social work and so working with kids is something that I am grateful and excited to do for my career and passion. As well as having experience with kids I have experience with pets as well as I have some of my own, have watched other people, and worked at a doggy daycare. I also have experience with household chores.

"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)."
