Booked by 1 family in Lincolnwood, IL

Hi! My name is Sarah Elizabeth, and I am a recent Masters graduate looking for child-care opportunities until I start my full-time accounting job in October. I will be available starting August 10th. I love being a babysitter and have been watching newborns, infants, toddlers, and kids since I was 14 years old. My responsibilities have included driving to/from school, crafts, tutoring, and even dance lessons. However, I will not have a car once I move to the city. I also work as a household assistant and can cook, clean, and run errands.

Evangeline $20 per hour for 1 child
Booked by 1 family in Lincolnwood, IL

I have worked with children for more than 8 years, from babysitting to volunteer programs to camp counseling. I bring joy, fun, structure, and attention to detail to my work with children, making the experience enjoyable and the adjustment smooth for kids and parents alike. My primary experience is with children ages 2-14, but I have occasionally worked with younger and older children, as well. Furthermore, I have more than 10 years of experience with pet sitting, becoming a reliable sitter and walker for families with dogs, cats, rabbits, guinea pigs, and other household animals. I provide more-than-minimum attention, care, and love, making sure that pets feel safe and cared for while owners are away.

"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)."
