Hello family My name is Geveve I’m 35 years old and I have 11 years experience working with children I love working with children and have enjoyed long-term relationships with several families. I believe each child is special and I work to bring out the best in each of them. I have experience with babies as young as 3 days old, toddlers, school age kids and teenagers. Busy families with multiple kids is my speciality. I have a lot of patience and work well under pressure. Parents describe me as responsible, reliable and easy to work with. Kids say I'm fun and creative. I keep kids engaged with activities both indoors and out, my philosophy is I believe children learn best through music art craft socializing. I have a clean driving record and am CPR and AED certified. Thanks for taking the time to learn a little bit about me. I look forward to hearing from you.

“Geveve helped our family as our planned babysitter was sick--she accepted the job last minute and promptly arrived about an hour after booking. She jumped right in as a pro engaging with our 3 and 7 year old, they had a great evening together! Geveve was communicative and I would definitely book her for babysitting again!”

Hello! (Fully vaccinated for COVID-19 as of 2/2/21) I love working with kids, and have professionally worked with children from toddler age to teens for over 8 years now! I have 5 years experience at a summer day camp back in my home town of Minneapolis, teaching classes from art to gymnastics for children ages 3-11. In addition, I worked with a program called JumpStart at DePaul University, where me and 4 other college students were placed in a preschool classroom on the west side of Chicago to provide teaching assistant support. During JumpStart I learned a lot of early childhood education skills and techniques, and could assist with homework or literacy skills for your children when I care for them. I enjoy reading, painting, staying active, dance, and exploring Chicago. I also have nannied for a family from this site from June 2017 until June 2019. I have babysat since I was 11 years old watching the neighborhood kids, and would love to help out by being a babysitter for you. :)

“Drew came on time and very approachable and fun. Quickly got along with my child. Hopefully will see her soon.”

I am an ECE major and infant nanny 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 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!

“Summer was wonderful! We would love to have her over again.”

Booked by 18 families in Lincolnwood, IL

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 💜

"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."

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)."
