Booked by 10 families in Northbrook, IL

Hello! My name is Cara and I am a rising senior at Scripps College, a small liberal arts school in California. I am a sociology major who is interested in art, music, yoga, helping kids, and hope to one day get my masters in social work. I have over 5 years of experience working with kids from being a camp counselor, a teachers assistant in charter schools, and an inclusion companion at Nssra for children with disabilities. I would describe myself as kind, attentive, responsible, mature, and fun-loving. I am also more than happy to provide additional references. I am continuing to take classes this summer in the Chicago area so I have a flexible schedule that I can adjust to around need. I see babysitting as first and foremost a responsibilty to keep kids safe, happy, and going about their lives. I want to be there for you and your childs needs whether that be creating a fun activity or making sure they are in bed for a good nights sleep. I can’t wait to meet you! Note: my rates are not fixed, and I am happy to work together to find a rate that is comfortable for both of us.

Hi, I’m Donna! I’ve been caring for children for over 20 years, and I’ve always loved being part of a child’s growth and development. I have a lot of experience with newborns, infants, toddlers, and young children, including caring for children from newborn through age 5. I spent three years working in a daycare infant room and two years in the toddler room, so I’m very comfortable with everything from newborn routines and bottle feeding to naps, playtime, early learning, and keeping busy little ones engaged. I’m CPR certified and certified in Early Childhood Development, and I’m someone who is patient, nurturing, dependable, and genuinely enjoys getting to know each child’s personality. I love creating a safe and comfortable environment where children can learn, play, and simply be themselves. I’d love the opportunity to meet your family, learn about your childcare needs, and hopefully become someone you and your little ones can feel comfortable with and trust. 

“We were incredibly fortunate to have Donna care for our two boys from 2020 to 2023. When she started with our family, our youngest was a newborn and our oldest was three, so she was with us through some very busy and important years. She was dependable, capable, and wonderful at managing the needs of two young children at different stages. She was comfortable driving the boys to activities and outings, which was a huge help as they got older, and we always felt confident having them in her care. She also went above and beyond childcare by helping us keep the house clean and organized, which made such a difference for our family. She was flexible, hardworking, and willing to pitch in wherever she was needed. We are very grateful for the years Donna spent with our family and would happily recommend her to another family looking for an experienced, reliable, and caring nanny.”

Hi! Nice to meet you, my name is Giuli, I am a dedicated, patient, non-smoker, and CPR/First Aid-certified childcare provider with extensive experience working with children of all ages-from young infants starting at 3 months old to toddlers and teenagers. I hold a background in hospitality management, which has helped me hone key skills like organization, clear communication, and creating a safe, welcoming environment for families. Whether engaging in fun, age-appropriate activities, assisting with routines and school-age needs, or going on peaceful outdoor walks, my goal is always to provide high-quality, trustworthy care tailored to your family’s needs. I look forward to connecting with you and supporting your family! I also love animals. Dogs are my favorite. I have three at home: a German Shepherd, two poodles, and three cats

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."

"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)."
