$25 per hour for 1 child
Booked by 1 family in Oak Park, IL

Hi! My name is Hailey I graduated from Columbia College Chicago in the fall of 2024. I live in Streeterville so I don’t drive but I’m willing to commute/ have experience ubering with kids. I’m a model and actor full time, so babysitting/nannying is the perfect way for me to make money on the side while I do what I love! I have 6+ years of childcare experience (the plus if for all of the years I grew up watching my little brother 😂). I worked as a camp counselor at YMCA back in Dallas Texas (where I’m from) in 2020. I realized I loved working with kids and started working for a babysitting agency when I first moved to Chicago in 2021. I have kiddos I’ve watched since they were newborns that are now about to start pre school. I have kiddos I’ve known since they were in elementary school entering high school. I love kids and helping where I can! I remember all of my babysitters from when I was a kid. My goal is to make sure that I leave a positive mark on the extra childhood memories of every child I watch. I want to make sure that the kids have fun, feel safe, and grow. I went to art school, so I’m very creative. I love all pets! I love tidying up and I’m ok cleaning when needed as long as it’s discussed. I have a pretty open schedule and am available for last minute care. Just let me know how I can help and I’d love to!

Melanie $25 per hour for 1 child

Hi, I'm Melanie! I'm 24 years old and currently studying Psychology. I have over four years of experience as a babysitter and nanny, working with children of all ages-from infants to preteens. I believe my psychology major allows me to better understand children's emotional, cognitive, and developmental needs. This knowledge helps me create a nurturing environment where kids can thrive and learn in a way that's developmentally appropriate for their age. I am patient, creative, and imaginative. I enjoy using these qualities to create fun and engaging activities. I love playing outdoor sports, physical games, board games, puzzles, and educational activities that promote learning. Craft-making is also one of my favorites! Additionally, I speak both English and Spanish, have my own car, and can provide references. I look forward to meeting your family and supporting your children's growth and development in any way I can!

"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)."
