Hello! My name is Cara and I am a rising senior at Scripps College, a small liberal arts school in California. I am a sociology major who is interested in art, music, yoga, helping kids, and hope to one day get my masters in social work. I have over 5 years of experience working with kids from being a camp counselor, a teachers assistant in charter schools, and an inclusion companion at Nssra for children with disabilities. I would describe myself as kind, attentive, responsible, mature, and fun-loving. I am also more than happy to provide additional references. I am continuing to take classes this summer in the Chicago area so I have a flexible schedule that I can adjust to around need. I see babysitting as first and foremost a responsibilty to keep kids safe, happy, and going about their lives. I want to be there for you and your childs needs whether that be creating a fun activity or making sure they are in bed for a good nights sleep. I can’t wait to meet you! Note: my rates are not fixed, and I am happy to work together to find a rate that is comfortable for both of us.

I am an early childhood and ECE major with a passion for the littles! I found an introduction into this path working as a babysitter for my infant and toddler aged nephews and cousins in highschool. While in school to obtain my bachelor’s, I have worked in clinics, in home, middle school and currently as a lead teacher in a preschool! I love spending time at the beach, enjoying nature, or watching movies and cuddling with my two cats! I am comfortable feeding, changing, preparing meals, helping with academicsㅤ, light household work, and pets in the home!

My son had a great time playing and spending time with Summer! We are super happy to have found her to watch our son. We would love to have her back next time we need a sitter!

I am a very experienced when it comes to all ages of childcare. I’ve spent more than 10+ years working with children all the way up to 13 years of age. With infants, I’m very vigilant and interactive, I keep them entertained and always smiling and I make sure that the schedule a parent has in place is always followed. I’m very patient with kids and will always make sure they are taken care of to the best of ability. With older children, I take care of them with their afterschool activities and if a parent wish to do other outings I am always available to spend a fun afternoon out.

Hi, My name is Pam and I currently attend Oakton community college in hopes of going to medical school in the future. I’m offering child care, senior care, as well as household services as my schedule is pretty flexible. I have been babysitting for over 7 years now and I’ve watched kids of all ages, as well as multiple kids at once. My responsibilities have included driving to/from school and after school activities, tutoring, and keeping kids occupied with fun activities and crafts. I have experience in household services such as cooking, cleaning, and running errands. I am comfortable working with senior care as I have been a part-time caretaker for my grandmother in the past. I can assist with daily tasks, take to appointments, as well as cook.

Pamela was AMAZING! Will definitely book her again to babysit for us. She was on time, was able to jump into our crazy schedule with little oversight, so proactive (made our sons lunch for the next day), and stayed late at the last minute. She was gentle and kind and patient with our son, taking him to the park, coloring with them, helping with the scooters. She put everything away and was just very nice!

"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)."

Eric D., dad of two
