Booked by 39 families in Mchenry, IL

Hello! My name is Sarah and I am a graduate of DePaul University and recently graduated from Johns Hopkins University with a master's degree. I am 30 years old and have been babysitting ever since I was eleven years old! I have babysat children ages from 2 months to 14 years old. I love to be outdoors, bake, make crafts, dance and read. I have babysat up to ten kids at once and do not mind if it is a jam packed day full of activities or a quiet night. I am a very outgoing person and am happy to babysit whenever I can! I have babysat for over 40 families on UrbanSitter and love children. I have a full time job but am available before and after work, and of course on the weekends! Please do not hesitate to ask me any questions!

“Sarah was great! She was responsive and flexible and the kids loved her. We definitely hope to work with her again! ”

Have been taking care of my shiba inu since 3 months old who has now gotten up to 15 years and still going! Trusted dog & cat sitter for several people at this point and recurring for many because I take the job seriously

“Highly professional, reliable, and was able to assist during a last minute pet sitting booking! Would also recommend hiring for tutoring as they also offer that service”

"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."

Amy L., mom of one

"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

"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)."
