Booked by 3 families in Hometown, IL

Hello, my name is Angelica. I was born and raised in Chicago. I am mother of 2 myself and love my daughters with all my being. I consider myself to be a very patient person. I think that’s something that’s important when it comes to being a caregiver and not only that, I enjoy being able to connect with kids and help them grow and succeed as they get older. I have a lot of experience when it comes to kids, it is something that I enjoy doing and I wouldn’t want it any other way.

Darion 1 review
$17 per hour for 1 child

18-year-old with a warm, approachable personality and a strong sense of responsibility. As the oldest of 8 siblings , I grew up caring for my younger brothers and sisters from a young age, learning patience, adaptability, and how to nurture children of different ages. Attended military school to earn my GED, where I developed discipline, leadership, and time management skills. CPR certified, with additional certifications in food handling, basic electricity, and safety awareness. Surrounded by successful role models such as nurses, police officers, and teachers—as well as other intelligent and hardworking men and women—I was guided onto the right path in life. Their influence motivates me to be a positive role model for children, helping them grow with the same encouragement and guidance I was given. Currently working on obtaining my business license and preparing to join the military to build a strong and successful future. Known for being respectful, dependable, and trustworthy. Committed to creating a safe, positive, and fun environment. Skilled at keeping kids engaged through age-appropriate activities, helping with homework, and maintaining routines. Reliable, punctual, and attentive to parents’ instructions.

He is a wonderful helper. He was great with my little girl making sure to be gentle and patient with her as she can act out sometimes. Was very accommodating when I needed him to come in for emergency times. Was helpful with her homework, art projects, and sports. I would highly recommend him and will definitely be looking forward to calling him again for help during my events.

Isabella $19 per hour for 1 child

Hi! My name is Isabella, I am located in Chicago and I am sophomore in college! I love being a babysitter!! I have grown up with such a large family, so babysitting comes naturally! I have had experience of babysitting since I was 15 years old. I have watched 3-10-year-olds! I have worked and volunteered at summer camps and cared for 4, 5, 6 and 7-year-olds! I have a dog at home, so my love for dogs is so strong! I also have nannied for a 3 and 6-year-old boys and loved it! I would help with simple chores around the home like laundry and cleaning up after the boys, as well as organization from their pantry to clothes in their closets, as well as running errands like quick grocery runs! We would take walks to the park and have so much fun exploring. Whether I am assisting with light housekeeping or helping with carpooling, I strive to be a dependable partner in your daily routine. I truly look forward to becoming a trusted part of your family's life and watching your children thrive.

"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

"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)."
