Sofia $22 per hour for 1 child
Booked by 2 families in River Grove, IL

⸻ Hello! My name is Sofia, and I am 24 years old. I graduated from Marquette University in May of 2024 with my bachelor’s degree in Sociology and am currently pursuing my master’s in HR at DePaul University. I moved to Chicago in early June of 2024 and since then have been nannying for a family I met through this app. I’m now seeking another part-time position since he will be starting preschool. I have 4 years of experience working with children in roles such as preschool teacher, nanny, and mental health technician. I value clear, efficient communication and always strive to provide that as a nanny. I enjoy keeping to a routine tailored to each child’s needs so they feel secure and know what to expect each day. My goal as a caregiver is to create a safe, nurturing, and positive environment. I’m also happy to help around the house or run any errands you may need—I have my own car, so transportation is never an issue. My availability is flexible, but I’m usually available Monday–Friday anytime before 2:00 pm, with some availability for date nights as well.

Jennifer $25 per hour for 1 child

Hi, my name is Jennifer and I am a Hispanic babysitter with over 3 years of experience working with children. In my first year, I had the joy of taking care of a 6-month-old from 7 am to 5 pm for a duration of 3 months. The following year, I looked after a 6-year-old from 6 pm to 10 pm for 5 months while balancing my morning college classes. Lastly, in my third year, I watched my neighbor's 3-year-old daughter for a couple of weeks from 9 am to 5 pm. With my diverse experience, I have worked with children of various age groups. From infants to toddlers and elementary school-aged children, I am comfortable and confident in providing quality care for each stage of development. When it comes to activities, I enjoy engaging children in educational and entertaining endeavors. Whether it's reading books, playing games, or exploring nature, I believe in fostering their curiosity and creativity. In addition to my babysitting skills, I am also a certified lifeguard with 4 years of experience. Through this role, I have obtained certifications in CPR and first aid. I have also honed my teaching abilities by providing swim lessons to children aged 4-13. Moving on to pet care, I have a range of experience with various pets and breeds. Whether it is walking dogs, feeding pets, or engaging in playtime, I am capable of providing the necessary care for your furry friends. I am comfortable with large animals and have no issues with animals that shed. Overall, I am a reliable and responsible babysitter with a passion for working with children. My experience, certifications, and abilities make me a well-rounded caregiver who is committed to ensuring both the safety and happiness of your little ones.

Alayla $20 per hour for 1 child

I’ve been babysitting for awhile now mostly through family or friends of friends. I worked at a swim school and taught children as young as 6 months old to 12 years old. I grew up in a very large family and cared for all of the children. I think that’s it’s a given to clean up and do household tasks while I am in someone else’s space.

"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."

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)."
