Journie $18 per hour for 1 child

Hi! I’m Journie! 💕 I’m a college student, athlete, and future teacher who loves staying active and spending time with kids. I played basketball at Morton College and have wrestled since sixth grade, including competing in freestyle wrestling at Fargo and receiving a wrestling scholarship. Outside of sports, I love being outdoors, exploring nature, reading, and singing. I’m also studying Early Childhood Education because I hope to become a teacher one day. I’ve been working with children for almost three years as a kids counselor at my local park district. I spent two years with the Mavericks program, working with K–3rd graders, and this year I work with Trailblazers, working with 3rd–6th graders. I help supervise kids, organize activities, play sports like basketball and soccer, and even help run sports programs at the park district. I’m energetic, patient, responsible, and love creating a safe and fun environment where kids can be themselves!

Hi there, I am Maria. I have a BA in education from Columbia College Chicago. I worked as a teacher for 8 years; I have experience with children from 2 years old to school age.

Angel $20 per hour for 1 child

I have experience caring for children of different ages, and I truly enjoy creating a safe, fun, and nurturing environment for them. I’ve helped with daily routines such as homework, playtime, organizing activities, and keeping a consistent schedule. I understand how important it is for children to feel comfortable, supported, and engaged. I’m patient, attentive, and dependable, and I always make safety my top priority. I communicate well with both children and parents, making sure everyone feels heard and informed. I enjoy being creative through games, crafts, and outdoor activities, and I’m able to adapt to each child’s unique personality and needs. While I don’t have much experience with cooking yet, I’m very willing to learn and follow any instructions or meal guidelines provided. What makes me a great caregiver is my genuine care for children, my strong sense of responsibility, and my ability to stay calm and positive in any situation. I strive to build trust and create a warm environment where kids can learn, grow, and have fun.

Tobia $20 per hour for 1 child

Hi - My name is Tobia and I'm currently caregiving part-time for my great aunt. I am offering child care, senior care, and household services. I'm the youngest of four girls and I have a combined count of 35 nieces and nephews including great and great greats lol. So I definitely have a lot of experience babysitting and have been watching newborns, infants, toddlers, and kids since I was 15 years old. My responsibilities have included driving to/from school, crafts, tutoring, and extra curricular activities. Being a caregiver allows me to thrive in my personality. I have a huge heart, I'm kind, caring, compassionate, reliable, trust worthy, patient, and attentive. I'm also tidy, organized, detailed oriented and possess time management. I cook, clean, run errands, and assist in other areas as needed. I was the primary caretaker for my mom who battled dementia, for over 10 years, so I am very comfortable with senior care. I offer medication reminders, meal prep, bathing and assistance with personal needs, drive to appointments, and perform other tasks as needed. I have 3 dogs of my own, who are my world. I am allergic to cats but happy to work with families with dogs.

"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)."
