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.

Amyah $16 per hour for 1 child

Hello, my name is Amyah! I have babysat since I was 17 for families I have known. Then, I worked in a Childcare center for 2. 5 years. I have experience with children from the ages of 4 month, to 10 years old. I am currently attending Gateway for a Nursing degree. I would consider myself to be an extremely organized individual, who does well listening to expectations and planning. I am known to be outgoing and social, while also being an active listener. I absolutely love any thing art or sport related. I have many young children in my family, and attend all of their extracurricular activities! I played travel softball for most of my life, and participate in beach volleyball over the summer and recently started golf! I would love to work with a family who is compassionate, and clear on expectations. It is so important to learn what each kid needs to thrive, no two are the same, and that's one of the most amazing things!

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!

Booked by 10 families in Zion, IL

Hello! My name is Cara and I am a rising senior at Scripps College, a small liberal arts school in California. I am a sociology major who is interested in art, music, yoga, helping kids, and hope to one day get my masters in social work. I have over 5 years of experience working with kids from being a camp counselor, a teachers assistant in charter schools, and an inclusion companion at Nssra for children with disabilities. I would describe myself as kind, attentive, responsible, mature, and fun-loving. I am also more than happy to provide additional references. I am continuing to take classes this summer in the Chicago area so I have a flexible schedule that I can adjust to around need. I see babysitting as first and foremost a responsibilty to keep kids safe, happy, and going about their lives. I want to be there for you and your childs needs whether that be creating a fun activity or making sure they are in bed for a good nights sleep. I can’t wait to meet you! Note: my rates are not fixed, and I am happy to work together to find a rate that is comfortable for both of us.

"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

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)."
