Michele $25 per hour for 1 child

Hi! I'm Michele, and I'm in the Chicago area for babysitting. I help with housekeeping, meal prep, school activities, outdoor fun, homework, newborn care, and more. I've worked with kids who have ADHD, autism, and Gestalt Language. I've got my CPR certification and background check done, and I'm happy to be seen if you'd like. I've also had some experience caring for children through Kiddie Corp, nannying, and tutoring reading. I love spending time with kids doing things like playing outside, learning new things, acting out stories, puzzles, crafts, and adventure walks. Most of all, I enjoy helping kids develop their minds in a safe and supportive space. The most important thing is making sure the child feels loved and safe, and that the family feels supported. I'd really enjoy building positive relationships with families in a caring environment. I am new to this app. But have been working for Care for 4 years :)

Hi - My name is Krystle and I am offering child care, senior care, and household services. I love being a nanny and have been watching newborns, infants, toddlers, and kids since I was 14 years old. My responsibilities have included driving to/from school, attending extracurricular activities, crafts and homework help. Currently I care for 3 children (Newborn, 1 & 3 years old) full-time. I’m full-time with my current family until mid-late April. My availability will be limited until then. I can provide references from previous families and current family. I also work as a household assistant and can cook, clean, and run errands. I have been a caretaker for my own grandparents and am comfortable with senior care. I can cook, drive to appointments, or do other tasks. I am allergic to cats but happy to work with families with dogs. I look forward to working with your family! ✔️ Vaccinated ✔️ CPR Certified ✔️ Drivers License & Insurance ✔️ Newborn Experience ✔️ School-Age Experience ✔️ Kosher Kitchen Experience

Krystle was a super attentive and caring nanny for my 3 yr old! My daughter loved her, our schedules no longer aligned however, I highly recommend her!

Paola $25 per hour for 1 child

Hello! I am an energetic and passionate nanny. I've been babysitting for children of various ages- from preschool to pre-teens. I am also familiar with age-appropriate activities, bedtime routines, and meal prep. I truly enjoy working with children. I am fluent in Spanish too. I'd describe my personality as fun, patience, and responsable. I like working with kids because every day can be different with them, they go through stages and changing every day. I like playing with them and providing them with all my love. In my spare time, I like to paint and create new stuff. I am working on an art project and I am trying to build my brand. One thing you should know about me is that I am someone committed and do my job with love and passion. I look to connect with the kids I work with and make a fun and nurturing environment for them.

$25 per hour for 1 child
Booked by 6 families in River Grove, IL

Hello! My name is Chloe and I've been working in childcare since I was practically a child myself! Nothing brings me more joy and fulfillment than caring for children, and watching them learn, play and grow. Outside of childcare, I am very passionate about art, theater and travel, and I incorporate these passions into my education and care. I love doing both structured and free form art activities with children, and I believe art, dance and music are fundamental to a child's development. I also have lived abroad in both Costa Rica and Guatemala, and enjoy speaking/teaching Spanish to the children I care for, while also opening them up to cultures from around the world. If you are looking for a nanny who is energetic, warm, creative, and will love your child like their own, then we might be a great fit!

Wow she is amazing and super cute with my daughter even had a fun bag for her ready!

Booked by 1 family in River Grove, IL

Hi! My name is Breanna, and I’m based in Uptown, Chicago. As the oldest of several siblings, caregiving has always come naturally to me. I’ve been working in childcare since I was 14, starting in daycare environments and expanding to private homes. With over a decade of hands-on experience, I’ve supported children through everything from temper tantrums to milestone moments, and I specialize in working with kids between 6 months and 14 years old. I’m reliable, patient, and deeply committed to creating safe, engaging spaces for children to grow. I’m also happy to assist with light housework and chores to make your day easier. In addition to childcare, I offer pet care and senior companionship. Please don’t hesitate to reach out with any questions—I’d love to learn more about your family’s needs!

"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)."
