Booked by 1 family in Hometown, IL

Hi! My name is Gia. I’m currently at student at DePaul in my senior year. I am extremely patient, reliable, communicative, gentle, creative, enthusiastic, kind, and adaptable. Services I offer include: babysitting, nannying, elder care, household services, pet care, and pet sitting. I’m CPR and AED certified. I’ve been babysitting/nannying for over 4 years and counting. I’ve also been working in childcare since I was 16. I have a wide range of experience with all ages. Additionally, I have experience with multiples. Working with children is a passion of mine, I love babysitting. Safety is my biggest priority while my main goal is for them to flourish: educationally, emotionally, etc. I typically engage children in non-screen brain activating activities to stimulate growth. A few favorites are puzzles, creating art work, cooking/baking, and reading books together. I have a great deal of experience in elder care, even assisting with hospice care. I’ve been housekeeping for a little over a year. I absolutely love organizing. I also offer general cleaning, laundry, cooking, and assistance with errands. I have years of experience in pet care as I have a dog and two cats of my own in addition to regularly pet sitting for the past year. I am comfortable with any breed of any size. I can provide walks, playtime, and feeding. I have my own vehicle I can use to accomplish whatever tasks I may need to. The biggest goal for me is to make people’s lives easier by assisting wherever I can. I am the definition of a helping hand. I have open availability and I’d love to assist you and your family however I can!

Sara $20 per hour for 1 child

Hi all, my name is Sara! I've lived in Chicago since I was 4 years old and absolutely love the city. I graduated from UIC College Prep and earned my bachelor's in business management from Hope College in Holland, MI. During college, I started volunteering in my church's kids' ministry and quickly realized how much I enjoy working with children. This led me to become the childcare coordinator at BLVD Church, where I worked for two years. In that role, I organized and led classrooms of up to 20 children ranging from nursery to elementary age. I was responsible for developing lesson plans, managing volunteers, keeping kids engaged and safe, and communicating with parents-all at the same time. This experience really helped me grow in multitasking, quick problem solving, and staying calm under pressure. I also babysat regularly for several families from BLVD during college, which allowed me to work with children of all ages and personalities. After graduating in May 2024, I moved back to Chicago and cared part-time for two boys, ages 1 and 5, for about 7 months. I am currently working full-time as a Financial Aid Assistant at a university, but I continue to look for opportunities to care for little ones because it's something I truly love and feel gifted in. As a caregiver, I bring a patient, compassionate, and responsible presence. I'm someone who naturally stays organized and pays close attention to detail, whether I'm preparing meals, planning engaging activities, or handling nap schedules. I'm also warm, dependable, and great at building trust with both kids and parents.

Hi families, hola familias! My name is Juliebeth and I am currently enrolled at Loyola University pursuing a B.S in Psychology. I am bilingual, fluent in Spanish and English. I have always had a passion for working with children. Ever since I can remember, I would care for my siblings and babysit younger cousins. I am a former Montessori teacher for a Toddler Spanish Immersion classroom and worked with about 12 children a day, ages 2-3. I was also an assistant in a 3-6 year old Montessori Spanish classroom. I am CPR and First Aid certified. I am COVID vaccinated and can provide proof of this. My hobbies besides babysitting include cooking, working out and watching movies. I love baseball games, traveling and spending time with my family. I have a vehicle of my own, transportation is not an issue. I am a very safe driver and have insurance/driver’s license, if needed to travel with children. I am also available to help with homework and light housework! I love to find activities to do in the city and I am always looking around. Please do not hesitate to reach out, I will get back to you as soon as possible. I cannot wait to meet you and your little ones!

"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)."
