$20 per hour for 1 child

Looking for a reliable babysitter for evenings, weekends, or last-minute help? I’m a former elementary school teacher with over five years of classroom experience and a degree in Elementary Education (with a minor in ESL). I’m patient, nurturing, and comfortable caring for multiple children—including neurodivergent kids—thanks to my teaching background. I work full time during the day, but I’m available for evenings, weekends, and last-minute jobs. I’m most experienced with school-aged kids, but I also have experience with toddlers. I love reading with kids, playing outside, and creating fun, engaging activities. I’m also happy to help with homework or light meal prep. I have a reliable car and can provide references upon request. I’m looking to pick up some side jobs doing what I love—spending time with kids!

Hello my name is Maria. I am 39 years old, Latina,and a mother of two. By working at a daycare for 2 years I developed child care skills such as communication, patience, and compassion. An important factor for me is to make kids feel loved and safe. I hope I can be the person that you are looking for to help take care of your child.

Maria was reliable, punctual and a lovely babysitter! I felt confident in her care for my son.

Hi, My name is Pam and I currently attend Oakton community college in hopes of going to medical school in the future. I’m offering child care, senior care, as well as household services as my schedule is pretty flexible. I have been babysitting for over 7 years now and I’ve watched kids of all ages, as well as multiple kids at once. My responsibilities have included driving to/from school and after school activities, tutoring, and keeping kids occupied with fun activities and crafts. I have experience in household services such as cooking, cleaning, and running errands. I am comfortable working with senior care as I have been a part-time caretaker for my grandmother in the past. I can assist with daily tasks, take to appointments, as well as cook.

Pamela was AMAZING! Will definitely book her again to babysit for us. She was on time, was able to jump into our crazy schedule with little oversight, so proactive (made our sons lunch for the next day), and stayed late at the last minute. She was gentle and kind and patient with our son, taking him to the park, coloring with them, helping with the scooters. She put everything away and was just very nice!

Booked by 2 families in Niles, IL

I am an older sister of two brothers so I definitely know how to handle kids of any age. I’m a super sweet, patient, and fun person around kids. I am currently pre-nursing and work as a medical assistant for a dermatology clinic! I am also CPR certified. In my free time, I like to go to nature preserves, hang out with my brother and or friends, read, and paint while listening to some music. I genuinely love children and I think they bring such a sweet perspective to the world. I also speak multiple languages and have two cats!

Eiman was lovely and patient with my two boys!

$25 per hour for 1 child

Hello, my name is Jovana! I graduated college in June of 2024. I offer childcare and pet care. I have been babysitting on and off since I was 18 years old. I have about a year experience with children ages 6 to 8. I also have around 3 years of experience with children ages 2-5. I enjoy preparing snacks and helping the kiddos with homework if needed. I try to come up with fun ways to keep the kids busy, such as playing board games, building forts, and the occasional dance party. As far as pet care, I grew up having two cats and currently have a German Sheppard. I am comfortable taking dogs on walks and feeding the animals when necessary. I am also open to household chores/errands if needed! I can cook, clean, or take the kids to and from activities after school.

Jovana has been an incredible babysitter for our family over the past five years. She has been taking care of our two kids (now 7 and 5) and we couldn’t ask for someone better. She is fun, reliable, and truly great with children. Our kids absolutely love spending time with her, they always look forward to the creative activities and games she comes up with. Beyond being fun, she is also responsible and dependable. We always feel at ease knowing our children are in her care. She balances playfulness with ensuring they follow routines and stay safe. If you’re looking for someone who genuinely cares about kids and makes babysitting a positive experience, we highly recommend Jovana

"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."

"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)."

Eric D., dad of two
