Booked by 1 family in Waterloo, IL

I just graduated high school and am looking for some jobs I can do when out of school! I come from a big family and have always been around lots of kids. I am the oldest sibling and can say I definitely fall into the stereotype of being very responsible and nurturing. I am a very caring person. I love cleaning and just making any space organized. I also love animals!

Kimberley $16 per hour for 1 child

Hello Everyone, My name is Kimberley, and I recently moved to the Saint Louis area to attend graduate school at SIUE in the Art Therapy & Counseling program. Now that my daughter is attending college, I am able to focus on completing my own master’s degree. I spent many years as a volunteer at my daughter’s cooperative preschool and at her elementary school helping in the classroom and on field trips. I also have worked as a nanny for several families as well as providing childcare for other parents at my daughter’s schools. In addition, I have been a YMCA camp counselor and a Big Sister with Big Brother Big Sister Foundation. This semester, I also completed at internship which involved an afterschool program with the students at Bel-Nor and Jefferson Elementary Schools. I also have experience with dog sitting and walking, cat sitting, and caring for a variety of other small pets, as well as plant care and general housesitting. I have my own small dog named, Guac, who is a very important member of my family, and I understand how much our pet friends mean to us. I enjoy spending time with and assisting elderly people and anyone else who needs help with household chores and running errands. I have experience volunteering at St. John’s Adult Daycare in Edwardsville and Collinsville, Illinois, and I will be interning there starting in August of 2024. I have a patient and gentle nature, and truly enjoy working, playing and supporting people of all ages and abilities. I’m excited to have found Urban Sitter, and I would love to be able to assist you in any way I can! Warmly, Kimberley

Brianna $25 per hour for 1 child

If you need tutoring, special education support, or behavior support — let me help! If you need a calm adult who can support the entire family, from behavior plans, to deescalating arguments with children, transitions, and general emotional support- I'm here! I have a Bachelor's degree in Special Education and hold a Special Education K-12 license, with over 10 years of experience working with children and young adults from 6 weeks to 21 years old. I started working with children in high school through early childhood education classes and built my career from there — working in Montessori and Waldorf school settings, as a Special Education teacher, and most recently as a behavior specialist working across school, family, and clinical settings with children, teens, and adults. Working with children is my passion, and I have a particular love for supporting kids who are navigating behavior challenges. I've worked extensively with ADHD, ASD, SPD, and a wide range of cognitive and learning differences. I believe deeply in positive behavior supports and lead with social-emotional learning in everything I do — helping kids not just manage their behavior, but actually understand themselves better. I also bring over 13 years of experience supporting families directly in their homes, so I understand the full picture — not just the child, but the whole family system. Feel free to reach out with any questions, and I'm happy to connect you with references right away!

"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)."
