Emily 1 review
$20 per hour for 1 child

Hi! My name is Emily, and I am currently a senior in high school, play volleyball. I have been caring for children since I was 15 years old and truly enjoy working with kids. I am responsible, patient, caring, and dependable. I can help with homework, prepare simple meals, play games, do arts and crafts, and keep children safe and entertained. I am bilingual in Spanish and English and would be happy to help children practice Spanish as well. I currently work in housekeeping, so I also have experience with cleaning, organizing, and maintaining a tidy home. I have my own vehicle and can provide transportation for children or adults to appointments, school, activities, or other places when needed. I am comfortable helping families with different needs and always respect their routines and household rules. I look forward to finding a family I can build a trusting and positive relationship with!

“Emily has worked for me in the past and she is very responsible, caring, and reliable. She is great with children, very patient, and always makes sure they are safe and comfortable. She is trustworthy, respectful, and takes her responsibilities seriously. I would definitely recommend her to any family looking for a dependable babysitter.”

Hi! My name is Nick, and I’m passionate about working with children of all ages and abilities. I currently work in Chicago Public Schools as a Special Education Classroom Assistant in a cluster program serving Kindergarten through 2nd grade. This has strengthened my commitment to supporting students with diverse needs. Before joining CPS, I worked in an assisted living home, which helped me develop patience, empathy, and strong caregiving skills. I’ve also worked with the Chicago Park District for the past eight years as a summer camp counselor, helping run day camps, lead activities, and build positive relationships with kids. In addition, I coach high school baseball every spring and am currently in my sixth season, which has given me experience motivating older students and creating a supportive, team-focused environment. I’m also a student at National Louis University, where I’m studying Elementary Education. Families describe me as caring, responsible, and energetic. I’m CPR-certified and experienced in supporting children with special needs. Above all, I strive to create a safe, fun, and positive environment where children can learn and grow. I’m looking for a family who values kindness, communication, and trust, and I’d love the chance to provide dependable care you can count on.

Sean 1 review
$18 per hour for 1 child

I’m a people person through and through — caring for others has always come naturally to me. I’ve spent the past few years doing a little bit of everything: babysitting, nannying, housecleaning, organizing, and supporting families who just need that extra set of reliable hands. I’ve worked with kids of all ages, from energetic toddlers to thoughtful teens. I love finding fun ways to keep them engaged, creative, and laughing. Arts and crafts, dancing in the living room, reading storybooks with silly voices, that’s my kind of day. When it comes to cleaning and housekeeping, I’m equal parts detail oriented and easygoing. I actually enjoy bringing order and sparkle back into a space , there’s something so satisfying about making a home feel peaceful again. I’m big on communication and always check in to make sure things are done the way you like them. I think everyone deserves to feel seen, safe, and respected. And if there’s a pet in the house, even better! I’m the type who talks to animals like they understand every word. People usually describe me as dependable, kind, and upbeat. I’m the person who shows up on time, keeps a positive attitude, and genuinely cares about the people (and pets!). At the end of the day, my goal is simple: to make life a little easier, a little cleaner, and a lot brighter for the families I work with.

“Sean is a very talented and genuinely kind person who loves helping kids find their dreams and follow through with their goals! I worked with him while we led theatre camp, he is very good at keeping kids attention and making sure everyone is having fun and can be themselves! Kids love him !”

Booked by 1 family in Riverside, IL

Hi, my name is Leah, I am a 22 year old college graduate. I have been babysitting for as long as I can remember and I have built on that with real classroom and community experience. I started college career as an Early Childhood Education major at Northern Arizona University, and completed a year and a half of course work. Although I did end up changing my degree focus to political science, the educational foundation has stuck with me. I also worked as an Assistant Teacher at The Goddard School, where I worked with infants to 7 year old children. I supported lesson plans, daily activities, and kept a while prioritizing child safety and development while communicating regularly with parents and administrators. More recently, I worked with Nike Summer Camps at NAU, where I was running marketing and photography but more importantly I was running and supurvising activities everyday. participating with campers everyday. I also volunteered for several years at Mountain Vista in Denver, a Elderly Care home. where I facilitated group activities and helped coordinate events and staffing, especially around busy holiday periods. I am passionate about getting outside, the arts and human connection! I love children and how much they can teach us adults who think we have it all figured out. Letter of Rec can be sent if needed:)

“It was an absolute pleasure having Leah in our home. She established a connection with our children very quickly, all while allowing them to naturally adapt. She kept them active and engaged for the full time she was with us, mostly using imaginative play. Highly recommend. ”

"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)."
