Angelina $20 per hour for 1 child

Hi! I’m Angelina, a UIC student graduating this December with degrees in English and Criminology. I currently work as an Assistant Teacher at the UIC Children’s Center, where I care for infants, toddlers, and preschoolers every day. I’m CPR/First Aid certified and love creating a fun, safe, and engaging environment for children. I’m reliable, patient, and happy to help with homework, crafts, meal prep, bedtime routines, and light housekeeping related to the kids. I’m looking for part-time nannying or babysitting opportunities this fall and can provide references upon request. I don’t have a car, so I’m looking for families near the West Town/UIC area or along CTA routes. I haven’t not used this app until more recently. I normally am in Facebook groups or word of mouth!

Rebecca $25 per hour for 1 child

Hey! I'm Becca. I've been a nanny for over 5 years, mostly caring for infants and toddlers. I love helping with feeding, naps, playtime, and hitting those early milestones - all while following the routines and preferences of each family. The family I'm with is ending care early due to a medical emergency, so I'm looking for something new. My schedule's super flexible right now, and I'd love to chat to see if we're a good fit!

"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)."
