My name is Greta, and I am a 26-year-old DePaul Graduate with a degree in Early Childhood Education and Bilingual Education. I have been babysitting since the age of 11. I have worked at an after-school program in Milwaukee, Wisconsin for four years. Here is where I gained experience with k4 students, teaching and playing while helping bridge the gap despite social inequalities. I also worked as a full time POD teacher during the pandemic. I student taught in CPS and made many meaningful connections with my preschool and second grade students. I am now in my fourth year of being a full time preschool educator. In Chicago, I have loved meeting new families and applying my knowledge and hands on experiences from my student teaching at Depaul and CPS experience. Coming from a background of teachers, and being raised in this field, working with children has always been a perfect fit for me. Reading books, going for walks, building forts and using your imagination are experiences that help shape kids into intelligent and compassionate adults. The smallest adventures make the best memories. I understand how busy parents are in providing a happy and well-functioning household, I am someone who is trustworthy when it comes to taking care of your children when you are away. I want the best for them, in regards to their safety and wellbeing as well as making sure they have fun. I live in uptown, So if you want your kids to be in good hands, I am just a walk or a bus ride away :)). I am flexible and can adapt to your family’s needs! I look forward to hearing from you 💜

Hi, I’m an elementary school teacher (25 years of experience) available for childcare and tutoring. As a mom of older children myself, I remember how important it was to have a dependable childcare provider I could trust. I’d love to fill that role for you and help you out with your childcare needs!

Hello there, parents and families! My name is Emily, and I love and live to work with youth. I have been trusted with the sacred work of caring for children for nearly 20 years, and I've worked with every age group from 0-21 in various educational, extracurricular, and caregiving capacities. Some of these positions include teaching high school social studies AND working as a SpEd paraprofessional in Chicago from 2[removed]; teaching music classes to youth 0-12 in both Honolulu and Chicago; tutoring and mentoring at-risk elementary school students in school and after school in San Jose, CA; teaching Tiny Tots swim classes to young children in Mission Viejo, CA; and assistant teaching preschool in Evanston, IL. I’ve also been a full-time nanny for various families on and off of UrbanSitter. I love to read, write, sing, play piano/guitar, bike, hike, travel, and above all, LEARN!! The most exciting part of life to me is getting to learn new things—because there will never be a shortage of those, no matter your age. That’s why working with kids is so fulfilling—they are constantly learning, processing, and absorbing the world around them, and it’s an honor and a privilege to guide them through that process. As a caregiver, I always put safety first--no question. I am sensitive, intuitive, and considerate of the unique needs of all young people as individuals. I have a "warm demander" approach to discipline, using firm and consistent boundaries with children while maintaining a kind demeanor. You’ll tell in the way I'll engage with your children from the moment I meet them that I truly care about their personal, academic, and social/emotional development. I can’t wait to meet you and your littles! Send me a message and I’ll get back to you in a flash ✨
