Booked by 1 family in Winthrop Harbor, IL

Hi my name is Crystal. I’m offering child care. I love working around children because they are full of energy and life! I can work with kids of all ages. I currently have an 18 month old who I adore. I’m currently working part time and starting nursing so any extra income will help. I am willing to help kids with homework, play sports with them, and drive them to where they need to be. I will make sure I meet the physical, social and emotional needs of your child. I can also help around with dogs. I have 4 Pomeranian dogs so I have experience with small dogs.

Crystal was excellent with our two children. She was patient, thoughtful, and asked great questions.

Abby $30 per hour for 1 child

Hi, my name is Abby! I have an Associate of Arts (AA) degree with training in Early Childhood Education (ECE), and I am currently attending school to earn my Bachelor’s degree in Education. I have a genuine passion for working with children and helping them learn, grow, and feel safe and supported. I have lots of hands-on experience caring for children, including experience with my younger siblings and working with children in childcare settings. I am comfortable caring for children of different ages and enjoy creating fun, engaging, and age-appropriate activities. I’m patient, responsible, dependable, and always make sure children are supervised and cared for with their individual needs in mind. I am also CPR and AED certified, so safety is always one of my top priorities. I’m happy to help with homework, arts and crafts, playtime, bedtime routines, meals, cooking, carpooling, swimming supervision, light housekeeping, and keeping the children’s spaces clean and organized. I’m also comfortable helping families while traveling. I would love the opportunity to become someone your family can trust and rely on. I look forward to getting to know your family and discussing how I can help make your day-to-day life a little easier!

Mahkenzie $15 per hour for 1 child

Hi! My name is Mah’Kenzie, and I’m currently in school while working part-time at Walmart. I come from a big family with seven siblings, so caring for children has always been a natural part of my life. I’m patient, responsible, and truly enjoy spending time with kids of all ages. I’m comfortable helping with playtime, meals, homework, routines, and bedtime, and I always prioritize creating a safe and positive environment. Growing up in a busy household taught me strong multitasking skills and how to stay calm and dependable in any situation. I’m also a huge animal lover. I have experience with a variety of pets, including exotic animals like my bearded dragon. I also have the sweetest pitbull named Tyson, who is very gentle and well-behaved around children. I prefer providing care in your home, as it allows children to stay comfortable in their own environment. However, in emergency or last-minute situations, care in my home may be possible depending on the circumstances. I’m reliable, caring, and would love the opportunity to support your family with dependable childcare.

"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."

Kamilah W., mom of one

"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)."
