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.

Hinda $25 per hour for 1 child

My name is Hinda, and I offer childcare services for newborns, infants, toddlers, and young children, as well as senior care and assistance with running errands. I am a caring, patient, and reliable caregiver with hands-on experience supporting families in both everyday and high-needs situations. I have worked with children of different ages and have strong experience with newborn and infant care. I am also a parent myself and spent several months closely involved in hospital care alongside doctors, nurses, and specialists, which gave me a deep understanding of infant safety, routines, and medical awareness. My responsibilities have included feeding, diapering, sleep routines, playtime, developmental activities, and maintaining a safe and nurturing environment. I am CPR and First Aid trained and always prioritize children’s well-being and comfort. I also provide attentive care for seniors and can assist with errands, appointments, and daily tasks as needed. I am comfortable following family routines, communicating clearly with parents, and providing dependable care. I take pride in being calm, attentive, and supportive, and I truly enjoy helping children and seniors feel safe, happy, and cared for. I look forward to working with families who value trust, communication, and compassionate care.

Sofia $22 per hour for 1 child
Booked by 2 families in Lincolnwood, IL

⸻ Hello! My name is Sofia, and I am 24 years old. I graduated from Marquette University in May of 2024 with my bachelor’s degree in Sociology and am currently pursuing my master’s in HR at DePaul University. I moved to Chicago in early June of 2024 and since then have been nannying for a family I met through this app. I’m now seeking another part-time position since he will be starting preschool. I have 4 years of experience working with children in roles such as preschool teacher, nanny, and mental health technician. I value clear, efficient communication and always strive to provide that as a nanny. I enjoy keeping to a routine tailored to each child’s needs so they feel secure and know what to expect each day. My goal as a caregiver is to create a safe, nurturing, and positive environment. I’m also happy to help around the house or run any errands you may need—I have my own car, so transportation is never an issue. My availability is flexible, but I’m usually available Monday–Friday anytime before 2:00 pm, with some availability for date nights as well.

"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)."
