Lori $16 per hour for 1 child

I am a grandma of two girls 3 & 5. I have been babysitting since I was 15 and still in contact with the family. I most recently cared for my mother who has Alzheimers but as her mind deteriorated she had to be put in a home. I recently moved to Illinois to be closer to my grandchildren. I love caring for kids of all ages.

Journie $18 per hour for 1 child

Hi! I’m Journie! 💕 I’m a college student, athlete, and future teacher who loves staying active and spending time with kids. I played basketball at Morton College and have wrestled since sixth grade, including competing in freestyle wrestling at Fargo and receiving a wrestling scholarship. Outside of sports, I love being outdoors, exploring nature, reading, and singing. I’m also studying Early Childhood Education because I hope to become a teacher one day. I’ve been working with children for almost three years as a kids counselor at my local park district. I spent two years with the Mavericks program, working with K–3rd graders, and this year I work with Trailblazers, working with 3rd–6th graders. I help supervise kids, organize activities, play sports like basketball and soccer, and even help run sports programs at the park district. I’m energetic, patient, responsible, and love creating a safe and fun environment where kids can be themselves!

Booked by 1 family in Lyons, IL

Hello! My name is Lucy, I have 7 years of experience in the child care field. I have experience over the years as a nanny, registered behavior technician and teacher assistant. I’ve worked with children from infant to early teens over the years and love working with all age groups! I believe patience and flexibility is key when working with children, as well as making any task fun! Being interactive and involved as a caregiver is important to me when working with children.

Lucy is the best!!

"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)."
