Elisabeth $25 per hour for 1 child

Hello, my name is Elisabeth. I am 31. I am passionate about being a caregiver and taking care of the home as well, because I thoroughly enjoy the process of being completely involved and supportive. My experience begins with six months of age up to 15 years of age. I have as well worked with a child who had severe autism and physical and intellectual disability. I’ve been a Nanny and house manager, and have primarily worked in Tulsa, Oklahoma; Phoenix, Arizona; Salt Lake City, Utah; and Los Angeles, California. I am new to Chicago and live in Rogers Park, so I’m happy to commute! I do not have a car at the moment. I am great with cooking as well as cleaning; and I am very patient, nurturing, supportive, and kind.

Martina $25 per hour for 1 child
Booked by 1 family in Skokie, IL

Hello! My name is Martina and I have over 27 years of experience caring for children of all ages — from newborns to school-aged kids. I truly enjoy helping children learn, play, and grow in a safe and loving environment. Families describe me as kind, patient, and dependable. I’m comfortable with pets, have my own transportation, and can help with light cleaning, meals, or errands if needed. I’ve worked with several wonderful families in the Chicagoland area, including Glenview and Franklin Park, and I always treat the children I care for as if they were my own. I’m looking forward to meeting a family that values trust, care, and positive energy!

Dallanara $19 per hour for 1 child
Booked by 1 family in Skokie, IL

I am a full-time Teacher Assistant at a school, where I work closely with toddler age children to support their learning, routines, and emotional development. I also attend college, where I am continuing my education and building skills that strengthen my ability to work with families. Through my work experience as an assistant teacher and occasional babysitter for neighbors, I have gained hands-on experience providing care, structure, and patience while helping children feel safe, supported, and encouraged. I genuinely love caregiving because I enjoy building trusting relationships and being someone children and families can rely on. On a personal note, I am a very patient, responsible, and warm person who values kindness and consistency, and I take pride in creating a positive and nurturing environment wherever I work.

$18 per hour for 1 child
Booked by 2 families in Skokie, IL

Hello, I'm Jasmine, a 26-year-old graduate from the University of Illinois, Urbana-Champaign. Recently I have been affected by the tech layoffs and my role as a UX design was affected. I'm looking for part-time work as a babysitter/nanny. There is a 1-star review on my profile, but that does not reflect my consideration of showing up on time for my appointments. Please consider my application! About me: I consider myself a patient, responsible, and creative individual. My free time is filled with activities such as painting, drawing, singing, playing tennis, learning Mandarin, and cooking. Relevant Experience: In 2020, I served as a full-time nanny for two children, ages 4 and 7, a boy and a girl. During this period, my responsibilities included making lunch, light housework, engaging in playtime, and teaching arts and crafts. If your child enjoys crafts, I'd be delighted to share these activities with them. In college, I tutored math and English at the Boys and Girls Club near my campus. Given that school is back in session, I'm enthusiastic about offering assistance with any tutoring needs.

“Wonderful with our kids. Would recommend 100%”

"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)."
