Booked by 1 family in Oak Park, IL

Hi! My name is Paulina, and I am currently offering childcare services. I have been caring for newborns and infants for the past two years, and it has been a wonderful experience! I love babies and enjoy being part of their growth and development. I handle stimulating games and activities, take them for walks and outdoor outings, and am always very attentive to nap and mealtime routines. I also offer cat-sitting services; I love cats and have cared for them since I was very young!

$25 per hour for 1 child
Booked by 2 families in Oak Park, IL

Hi families,I’m Melody! I’m a warm, calm, and patient childcare professional with over 5 years of experience working with children 6 weeks- 15 years old. I truly enjoy getting to know each child as an individual and creating a caring, nurturing environment where they can feel comfortable, confident, and free to be themselves. Over the years, I’ve had the opportunity to work with Reggio, Waldorf, and Montessori-inspired teaching styles. I love bringing elements of these approaches into everyday activities, especially through art, creativity, and sensory play. I enjoy creating activities that allow children to explore, get curious, use their imagination, and learn through hands-on experiences. I’m CPR/AED and Anaphylaxis trained, and I’m also a non-smoker. The safety and well-being of the children I care for is always one of my top priorities. Outside of childcare, I love reading, yoga, cooking, going for walks, and visiting farmers markets on Sunday mornings. I enjoy a slower, intentional lifestyle and love sharing that sense of curiosity and appreciation for the little things with children. Most of all, I genuinely love working with children. It’s incredibly rewarding to watch them grow, discover new interests, and become more independent. I strive to be a dependable and nurturing presence for both the children and their families. I’m excited to get to know you more!

“Melody was wonderful. She took excellent care of my 10 week old baby. She knew exactly how to soothe him and read his cues. Seems to also genuinely like the job. Highly recommend! ”

Hi my name is Liberty. I am a 21 year old special needs pre - k teacher looking for a side job. I am in school to become a pediatric nurse. I love fun activities, helping out, making the kids day better. I can cook, clean, and complete any tasks needed. I was a daycare assistant in my grandmas daycare since I was 13. So my whole life is pretty much involved with kids. I have my own car, so I don’t mind taking the kids out for mini brain breaks, ice cream, dinner and etc activities. I’m all in for kid fun as I always play with my pre k class at recess.. lol. I hope I can be a great fit for your family.

"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)."
