Hello, my name is Angelica. I was born and raised in Chicago. I am mother of 2 myself and love my daughters with all my being. I consider myself to be a very patient person. I think that’s something that’s important when it comes to being a caregiver and not only that, I enjoy being able to connect with kids and help them grow and succeed as they get older. I have a lot of experience when it comes to kids, it is something that I enjoy doing and I wouldn’t want it any other way.

18-year-old with a warm, approachable personality and a strong sense of responsibility. As the oldest of 8 siblings , I grew up caring for my younger brothers and sisters from a young age, learning patience, adaptability, and how to nurture children of different ages. Attended military school to earn my GED, where I developed discipline, leadership, and time management skills. CPR certified, with additional certifications in food handling, basic electricity, and safety awareness. Surrounded by successful role models such as nurses, police officers, and teachers—as well as other intelligent and hardworking men and women—I was guided onto the right path in life. Their influence motivates me to be a positive role model for children, helping them grow with the same encouragement and guidance I was given. Currently working on obtaining my business license and preparing to join the military to build a strong and successful future. Known for being respectful, dependable, and trustworthy. Committed to creating a safe, positive, and fun environment. Skilled at keeping kids engaged through age-appropriate activities, helping with homework, and maintaining routines. Reliable, punctual, and attentive to parents’ instructions.

He is a wonderful helper. He was great with my little girl making sure to be gentle and patient with her as she can act out sometimes. Was very accommodating when I needed him to come in for emergency times. Was helpful with her homework, art projects, and sports. I would highly recommend him and will definitely be looking forward to calling him again for help during my events.

Hello! New on this app so I have no reviews yet. Please give me the opportunity. I’ve always been very family oriented. Have been babysitting my 10 year old goddaughter since she was a new born as well as my nieces & nephew that are under the age of 5. I babysit my cousins & friends kids when I’m needed. I’ve always been good with children & love to play, color, read and interact with them. I’d like to become a permanent trustworthy sitter to where it’s comfortable for the kids and build that relationship!

Yessica has watched my two children. She is caring, responsible, and reliable. The kids adore her, and we feel totally at ease knowing they are with her! Thank you for all you do!

Hi, my name is Tewa. I am going into my sophomore year of college I have worked in childcare for 4 years now. I work with children all ages, infants to teenagers. I can help kids with homework, drive them to activites, cook them meals and prepare them for bed if needed. I can also care for pets. I do not have any experience with caring for other dogs other than my own. However I do care for my dogs frequently. I am able to walk dogs, play with them and feed them. Whatever is needed.

Tewa has been babysitting for our family since the fall of '22. She is a fantastic babysitter and I would highly recommend her to anyone. First, she is always punctual. My kids adore when she babysits to the point that when I say, Tewa is coming over they get excited instead of sad that I am leaving. This is exactly what you want from a babysitter! She plays with my children, ages 5 and 9. She plays full-hearted with them. She jumps on the trampoline. She chases them. They have this made-up mermaid game they play together. She is 100% involved and active with them. She takes them to the park. This is obviously my favorite thing about her bc it makes the time for my kiddos a fun experience. She keeps my house clean which is always so awesome. I do not have to worry about coming home and cleaning the dishes from dinner. She has my children clean up after themselves. She follows my instructions through all of it including bed time. My kids love her laid back attitude. She has fun w/them. I am also comfortable with her driving them to/from activities. I highly recommend her to anyone in the area! Of course, she asked me to write this review and I am so sad that she might not be available the next time I need her! LOL. She is fabulous! Take the chance- worth it!

"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)."
