Booked by 32 families in River Grove, IL

Hello! (Fully vaccinated for COVID-19 as of 2/2/21) I love working with kids, and have professionally worked with children from toddler age to teens for over 8 years now! I have 5 years experience at a summer day camp back in my home town of Minneapolis, teaching classes from art to gymnastics for children ages 3-11. In addition, I worked with a program called JumpStart at DePaul University, where me and 4 other college students were placed in a preschool classroom on the west side of Chicago to provide teaching assistant support. During JumpStart I learned a lot of early childhood education skills and techniques, and could assist with homework or literacy skills for your children when I care for them. I enjoy reading, painting, staying active, dance, and exploring Chicago. I also have nannied for a family from this site from June 2017 until June 2019. I have babysat since I was 11 years old watching the neighborhood kids, and would love to help out by being a babysitter for you. :)

“Drew came on time and very approachable and fun. Quickly got along with my child. Hopefully will see her soon.”

Booked by 77 families in River Grove, IL

Hello family My name is Geveve I’m 35 years old and I have 11 years experience working with children I love working with children and have enjoyed long-term relationships with several families. I believe each child is special and I work to bring out the best in each of them. I have experience with babies as young as 3 days old, toddlers, school age kids and teenagers. Busy families with multiple kids is my speciality. I have a lot of patience and work well under pressure. Parents describe me as responsible, reliable and easy to work with. Kids say I'm fun and creative. I keep kids engaged with activities both indoors and out, my philosophy is I believe children learn best through music art craft socializing. I have a clean driving record and am CPR and AED certified. Thanks for taking the time to learn a little bit about me. I look forward to hearing from you.

“Geveve helped our family as our planned babysitter was sick--she accepted the job last minute and promptly arrived about an hour after booking. She jumped right in as a pro engaging with our 3 and 7 year old, they had a great evening together! Geveve was communicative and I would definitely book her for babysitting again!”

Booked by 60 families in River Grove, IL

My name is Priscila, I am 35 years old, and have BA in International Relations. I've been taking care of kids for more than ten years in total. During this period I've been working with multiples families in Bay Area, and I have experiences from new borns to teenagers. My previous jobs were: - A family in San Anselmo with 3 kids (new born, 18mo and 5yo), we worked together for 3 years. - A family from Terra Linda who has two boys (2 yo and 15mo), we also did a nanny share with the youngest one, and with two other boys who were 18mo, and 21mo. - A family in San Anselmo who has a boy (6mo). - A nanny share with two families in San Rafael, the kids were 3mo and 6mo when I started, and now they are 5 years old :) I currently work as a realtor, but I do love kids, and I miss being around them, I’m not a mom yet, and I would like to help you babysitting your children during the weekend so you can enjoy some free times! I like the expression of “placing your eggs in different basket”, and in the future I have this goal of opening a day care, so it will be nice to do some networking now to achieve my plans in the future! I have the Pediatric First Aid/CPR/AED from American Red Cross, and I'm fully vaccinated from flu and Covid 19. I used to be a baby sitter in The Palm Plaza Hotel Resort, taking care of kids from 3 months to 2 years. Also I used to be a teacher at Baptist Church, taking care of kids from 5 months to 10 years. My grandmother and my aunt are pedagogies, my mother is also a nanny, and I learned many things with them about children's development. I also love reading books about kid’s education, and I highly recommend the documentary from Netflix called “Babies”, it’s really good! With that being said, I’m constantly educating myself to treat your children as they were mine, to keep them safe, and to become the best mother I will be in the future! I’m looking forward in assisting your family soon!

"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."

Kamilah W., mom of one

photo of quoted parent Eric

"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)."
