Bella $15 per hour for 1 child

Hello my name is Bella, I am 20 years old and I am a sophomore at the University of Loyola Chicago. I love and adore kids, I have been working with them since I was 13 years old from nannying to camps. I have experience with all ages, but I have the most in ages 6-12 as I used to nanny a family for a few years who had kids between those ages. My major is social work and so working with kids is something that I am grateful and excited to do for my career and passion. As well as having experience with kids I have experience with pets as well as I have some of my own, have watched other people, and worked at a doggy daycare. I also have experience with household chores.

Win $25 per hour for 1 child

I am starting a social work master's in the city in the fall, pivoting from a career in science and health writing, and I am looking for summer nanny jobs and babysitting opportunities beyond summer! I am creative, conscientious, and have over 10 years of childcare experience, including in schools, Christian education, babysitting, and tutoring. I also have several years of special education experience and feel very comfortable around kids with disabilities and/or neurodivergence. I love animals and have a dog of my own and would be happy to support you in running your household (childcare, pet care, light tidying, and whatever else you might need!). My favorite activities to do with kiddos include outdoor education, art projects, and guiding them through simple cooking and baking.

Hirut $25 per hour for 1 child

My upbringing in a large family of ten children naturally fostered a sense of responsibility and patience within me, as I often assisted my parents with my younger siblings. This caregiving role has been a consistent thread throughout my life. For over a decade, I've volunteered at my church, teaching children between the ages of 3 and 14. I also support mothers during church services by caring for their children, from newborns to ages 4 or 5, allowing them to fully participate in the service or assist in the kitchen. Sometimes, this simply provides mothers without local family support a much-needed break. Additionally, I regularly babysit and help my siblings with their 11 children. Coming from such a large and active family, I am comfortable with noise and thrive in busy environments. Professionally, I spent two fulfilling years as an English as a Second Language teacher at a charter school. Currently, I work as an Administrative Assistant in an office setting, where my responsibilities extend beyond typical administrative duties. I oversee morning drop-offs and dismissals, occasionally substitute teach, troubleshoot technology issues, and assist students with financial aid and high school applications.

"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)."
