Griselda $25 per hour for 1 child

Hi! I'm a dependable, patient, and caring mom of three girls with years of experience caring for children of all ages. I started babysitting, house sitting, and pet sitting as a preteen, and growing up in a large family taught me how to stay organized, multitask, and adapt to just about anything. I'm happy to help with school pick-ups and drop-offs, prepare simple meals, assist with light household tasks, and keep your child's daily routine running smoothly. Whether we're playing outside, reading books, or winding down for bedtime, my goal is to create a safe, fun, and comfortable environment where kids feel cared for and parents feel confident they're in good hands. I know every family is different, so I do my best to be reliable, communicative, and flexible while treating your home and children with the same care and respect I would expect for my own.

Karin $19 per hour for 1 child

As a lifelong artist, people person, and child at heart, I think I would make a great babysitter for your child. I have prior childcare and babysitting experience, and my liberal arts education and extensive artistic background has taught me how to incorporate my enthusiastic creativity and unique problem solving skills into everything I do. Additionally, I take safety very seriously, keep a level head in emergency situations and am CPR, First Aid, and BBP training certified, as well as hold a valid paraprofessional license. My most direct childcare experience comes from babysitting my professors’ kids throughout college, as well as my time volunteering in the LARY Buddies program, a youth mentoring program through my university that partnered college students with children attending the local elementary school. That being said, most of my prior work experience has involved kids in one way or another. Outside of the classroom, I have experience entertaining and engaging children through puppetry and theater, with my most recent role being Run Crew for the historic Lookingglass Theater. The shows I worked were kid friendly, and a lot of what I did involved children's participation and engagement. I also have professional puppetmaking experience through the Chicago International Puppet Theater Festival. Lastly, I have created art for most of my life, and credit an after school art teacher with introducing me to my lifelong passion -- I feel an obligation to pay forward what was taught to me, and it would be an honor to be a part of helping raise the next generation of children with love and kindness, and help them discover their passions.

"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)."
