I have a genuine passion for working with children, and my warm, compassionate nature allows me to connect with them effortlessly. I take pride in fostering their emotional, social, and physical development.

Booked by 54 families in Oak Park, IL

Hi, My name is Irina. I an a 2nd year nursing student. I bring toys, coloring books and balloons so that children don't get bored and have something new to wonder about and play with. It also helps with separation anxiety. I take my time to talk to them and explain questions they might have, or matters regarding discipline. I am familiar with being cautious when it comes to allergies. I have my driver's license and I am CPR certified. I am looking for occasional babysitting jobs. Thank you so much and I am looking forward to working for your family.

Booked by 3 families in Oak Park, IL

Hi, I'm Sandra, a 25-year-old caregiver with a passion for playing and taking care of kids. From a young age, I’ve always loved spending time with children, ensuring they are happy, safe, and engaged. I’m dedicated to providing a nurturing and fun environment for your little ones. Whether it's reading stories, playing games, or helping with homework, I’m here to support your family's needs.

Sandra was right on time and immediately got to reading a book with my 15 month old daughter. When I got back a few hours later, my daughter had eaten well, our home looked great, and my daughter gave Sandra a hug goodbye! We had a great experience with Sandra and I'd love to work with her again.

"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)."
