Miya $19 per hour for 1 child

Hi, my name is Miya and I am going into my second year at the University of Chicago! I am from Washington, DC and am living in Chicago over the summer. I love theater, reading, hiking, and fun arts and crafts. I am offering child, senior, and pet care. I have been babysitting and petsitting since I was 14 years old. While babysitting, my responsibilities have included cooking, cleaning, and tutoring, as well as leading activities for kids like crafting and dance/music lessons. My favorite experience has been teaching one of my kids ballet! I am also happy to walk and feed pets; I have 2 dogs and 3 turtles of my own so I am very comfortable with animals. I also have experience with senior care. I have grown up with my grandparents in the house and have spent a lot of time looking after them. Additionally, I worked at Grand Oaks Assisted Living Facility for 2 years. At Grand Oaks, I spent a lot of time taking care of residents as well as playing the piano for and forming genuine connections with the residents. I am very flexible this summer and am willing to dedicate many hours to working. I also would love to continue working throughout the school year this year, although my hours would slightly change then.

Lorin $27 per hour for 1 child

I am a dedicated and experienced childcare provider with over 10 years of hands-on experience working with children ages 0–16. I have cared for infants, toddlers, and school-aged children in a wide range of settings, including daycares, preschools, elementary schools, summer camps, and private homes. My background includes full-time nannying, babysitting, and occasional travel with families, as well as experience supporting children with special needs. In addition to childcare, I offer dependable household support such as light housekeeping, meal preparation, organization, and maintaining daily routines. I also provide homework help and academic support, helping children stay on track while building confidence and independence. I take pride in building strong, long-lasting relationships with the families I work with. My very first nanny child is now 18 and in college, and I’ve maintained lifelong connections with many of my nanny families. I believe trust, consistency, and communication are the foundation of great childcare. I am patient, reliable, and nurturing, and I strive to create a safe, engaging, and supportive environment where children feel valued and can thrive.

Manasseh $25 per hour for 1 child

Hi! I’m Manasseh—a natural caregiver who grew up as the middle child but with the responsibilities of the oldest. From an early age, I was the one getting my siblings and cousins ready for school, making dinner, folding laundry, and keeping the house running smoothly. Those years taught me how to be patient, kind, and quick on my feet—especially when it comes to solving problems or settling disagreements. I love creating fun, engaging activities that keep kids smiling while also making sure they feel safe and cared for. Whether it’s cooking a healthy meal, helping with homework, or turning chores into a game, I bring energy, creativity, and a warm heart to everything I do. With gratitude, Manasseh

"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)."
