Kyleigh $26 per hour for 1 child

Hi! My name is Kyleigh, and I’m a graduate student at North Central College pursuing my Master’s in Occupational Therapy. I have always loved working with children and hope to become a pediatric occupational therapist after graduation. I have experience working with children in a variety of settings. I currently work as a Registered Behavior Technician (RBT) at an ABA clinic, where I work one-on-one with children with autism and support them as they develop communication, social, behavioral, and daily living skills. I absolutely love being able to build relationships with the children I work with and watch their growth and progress! I also previously worked as a Rehabilitation Technician at a rehab hospital, where I gained valuable experience working alongside healthcare professionals and developed skills in patient care, safety, communication, and assisting with daily activities. Because I’m currently in graduate school, I’m looking for babysitting opportunities that allow me to balance my school schedule while continuing to do what I love—working with children! I’m responsible, patient, caring, and comfortable working with children of different ages and needs. I am First Aid, CPR, AED, and BLS certified for both adults and children, and I take safety and providing a comfortable environment for children very seriously. I would love the opportunity to get to know your family and provide your children with safe, caring, and engaging care!

Anastasiia $22 per hour for 1 child
Booked by 2 families in Waukegan, IL

I have over 5 years of experience caring for children (mostly from 0 to 4 years old, including infants from 0 to 11 months), as well as helping older adults and taking care of pets. I truly enjoy creating a warm and safe environment for little ones — I’m calm, kind, and very patient. I’ve also spent several years helping seniors with everyday needs. I used to drive them to doctor’s appointments, help with grocery shopping, run errands, and spend quality time with them. I always try to make sure they feel supported, respected, and not alone. I’m comfortable with both cats and dogs, and I have experience feeding them, walking dogs, and helping keep the home clean and peaceful. I have my own car, a valid driver’s license, and I’m reliable, organized, and caring. My English is basic but clear — families find me easy to work with, and I always give my best.

Samantha $22 per hour for 1 child

I have experience caring for children and elderly family members. I helped take care of my younger brother, who is 13 years younger than me, while my mom was working. I did everything for him: bathing, changing diapers, feeding, playing, taking him out for fresh air, and accompanying him to medical appointments. I also took care of my grandfather, who was bedridden, assisting with bathing and feeding. Additionally, I have experience with pets, as I have my own pet who is 6 years old. I am currently finishing my degree in Finance and I am fluent in both Portuguese and English.

"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)."
