Kennedy $17 per hour for 1 child

Hi - My name is Kennedy. I’m currently a freshman at Saint Louis University. I am offering child care and household services. I love babysitting and have been watching toddlers and kids since I was 14 years old. My responsibilities included driving children to and from school, cooking dinner, helping children with homework, running errands and keeping things clean and tidy around the house. I’ve also worked diligently to become CPR certified and food handling certified! The safety of all of my clients is my number one priority! I’m allergic to cats but I am more than willing to work with families who have any other pets!

Jakaira 3 reviews
$19 per hour for 1 child

Hi! My name is Jakaira, but you can call me Kai. I am 19 years old and currently attending college part-time to pursue a nursing career. I am also a beginner caregiver for older adults. I have over 10 years of childcare experience, as I have been helping care for children since I was 9 years old. Over the years, I have discovered that I truly enjoy caring for children, building strong bonds with them, and developing positive relationships with their families. I love helping children learn new things, creating fun activities, and getting to know each child’s unique personality. I am also happy to help with homework, clean up after activities, and prepare simple meals when needed. In my free time, I enjoy painting, being creative, and coming up with fun and engaging activities for children. I was also a dancer throughout high school, which taught me discipline, patience, and teamwork. In addition to childcare, I am beginning my journey as a caregiver for older adults. While I am still gaining experience, I am a fast learner, dependable, and always willing to help. One of the things I enjoy most about caregiving is building meaningful connections, listening to people’s stories, and providing support when they need it. I am also comfortable around pets and have plenty of experience caring for dogs, as I grew up with them and currently have one of my own. I look forward to helping families by providing reliable, compassionate, and attentive care.

“I would recommend Jakaira White she is a good baby sitter and she's good with people and she's has excellent customer service and she's also an accelerated learner and she's very dependable person. she baby sitted for me in the past and I would recommend her for both positions”

Booked by 2 families in Northfield, IL

I have a degree in Advertising and Marketing, and I bring not only responsibility and dedication but also a lot of creativity , a quality I apply in both childcare and daily tasks. I have experience with babies as young as 4 months old, as well as with children over 5 years old, always ensuring a safe, fun, and nurturing environment. I enjoy creating playful and educational activities tailored to each child’s age. I'm an animal lover and happy to help care for pets with love, and I’m also willing to assist with household organization when needed. I'm communicative, proactive, and truly enjoy contributing to a family's well-being.

“She calm with the kids and trying to know them. She played with them during bed time and they like her around”

Hi! I am Lucila but you can also call me Mari. I am currently a senior at DeVry University and I have about 4-5 years of consecutive experience providing childcare for children mostly 5 and up. I am patient, attentive, and truly enjoy creating a fun and safe environment for kids. I love doing crafts, board games and puzzles but I can also help with homework, light cleaning and organizing especially after activities I have done a lot of school pickups(mostly walking to and from school).

"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)."
