Cearra $30 per hour for 1 child

I bring a well rounded background in childcare, education, wellness, and behavioral support, with experience caring for children across many ages, abilities, and settings. I’ve worked as a babysitter, a co-lead teacher in infant and toddler classrooms at Bright Horizons, and for Jumpstart during college, supporting early literacy and social-emotional development with young children. I also have experience creating fun, high energy environments from my time at Chuck E. Cheese, as well as coaching cheerleading, where I supported teamwork, confidence, and physical coordination. I’m currently a certified children’s yoga teacher and puppy yoga instructor, integrating movement, mindfulness, and play to help children regulate their energy, build body awareness, and feel confident in their bodies. I hold a Bachelor of Science in Health Science and have previous Behavioral Technician training, including experience supporting autistic children and working with NorthShore Pediatric Therapy in Chicago, giving me a strong foundation in developmental awareness, patience, and individualized care. While I don’t have children of my own, I’m a proud cat mom, and I approach caregiving with a nurturing, calm, and attentive presence. I am reliable, engaging, safety focused, and intentional, whether that means structured activities, gentle guidance, or simply creating a supportive, fun environment where children feel seen and cared for. I am also certified in Accessible & Chair Yoga that is great for seniors.

Angel $19 per hour for 1 child

Hi! My name is Angel, and I’m a college student and aspiring nurse offering childcare, senior care, and household services. I’m caring, patient, responsible, and dependable, and I genuinely enjoy helping others. I have experience caring for children through babysitting, as well as caring for younger siblings and cousins. I’m comfortable with supervision, meal preparation, activities, routines, and creating a safe and positive environment for children. I also have experience caring for family members and can assist seniors with companionship, meals, light household tasks, errands, and everyday needs. My nursing education has strengthened my attention to detail, patience, and safety-focused mindset. I’m also happy to help with light cleaning, laundry, organizing, meal preparation, and errands. I’m respectful of each family’s home and routines and always strive to make things easier for the people I care for. While I don’t provide pet care, I’d be happy to help families with children, seniors, and household needs!

Abigail $30 per hour for 1 child

My name is Abby, I'm 28 and I have been a preschool teacher for 6+ years! I have been babysitting since age 16 and have had a love for children and babies, as well as family bonding, my whole life. I love cleaning and housekeeping, as well as providing care like meals and transportation for people. I love caring! Meeting new people is easy for me because I meet you where you are, and go from there. I excel at learning what support looks like for others. My philosophy includes the Reggio Emilia approach, being silly, teaching by example, hands-on experiences, and all the other parts of day-to-day life that make the world fun. Exploring challenges and learning in nature are also big parts of my teaching style. Observant, kind, and optimistic are words I would use to describe myself. Others have chosen charismatic, funny, honest, and "there." Kids are precious and I intend to show that in my work. It is my life's work! Thank you for your consideration!

"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)."
