Hello! My name is Lauren and I am 28 years old. I am an elementary school teacher (5th and 4th grade math and social studies) and I work for a school in CPS! I am so passionate about working with kids and have worked my whole life with children ranging from infants to middle school ages in jobs such as camp counselor, teacher in child development centers, daycare worker, tutor, and babysitter! I offer babysitting, tutoring, and pet care services. I graduated from Michigan State University with a degree in Elementary Education and minors in TESOL (teaching english to speakers of other languages) and Spanish. I finished my graduate school program in 2022 and have a Master of Arts in Teaching. I am happy to work with families who have any type of pets! If you wish to meet me before booking, I am more than happy to do so! I will however have to charge you for an hour!
Hello Beautiful Families! I am Micquel (my-KELL), a Chicago native, an healthcare professional, and a current MBA candidate at UIC completing my studies this fall. I also hold a Master of Public Health (MPH) in Maternal and Child Health. Professionally, I am a former Clinical Research Coordinator at Lurie Children’s Hospital and currently serve as the Quality and Safety Specialist of Emergency Services at UI Health. I have a deep passion for childcare and over a decade of diverse experience. Throughout my undergraduate and graduate studies, I dedicated a year volunteering in hospital NICU and pediatric units, coordinated tutoring for refugee children, and assisted at a local Crisis Nursery. I also have specialized experience providing dedicated, patient care and tutoring for a child with ADHD and autism. Additionally, my background includes mentoring adolescents through city youth programs, which helped me master the balance of keeping energy high and maintaining a calm, authoritative structure. I bring a unique blend of high-level safety expertise, advanced education, and genuine joy to every family I work with. I look forward to lending a helping hand to yours! Note: Fully vaccinated against COVID-19.
“Micquel was fantastic! My boys have not had a new sitter, and she transitioned with them both for dinner, playtime and bedtime - amazing and would highly recommend. ”
Hi, my name is Margarita, and I’m 29 years old. I’ve been babysitting for 13 years. Growing up in a large family as the third of seven children, I naturally developed a passion for helping care for my younger siblings. Over the years, I’ve gained experience babysitting both for my own family and for others. I’ve also worked in a kids' room at a gym, (happened for about 4 years) supervising children of all ages—sometimes up to 10 at once! I truly enjoy working with kids and love watching them grow and knowing I’ve contributed positively to their development. In addition to my childcare experience, I’m a proud mom to two little ones: a 5-year-old son named Ace and a 4-year-old daughter named Alaia. Also currently fostering a 1 year old baby girl who we are hoping to adopt soon! I also have 10 years of experience in housekeeping. For the past 4 years, I’ve been working full-time in the human resources department of a nonprofit organization, handling payroll.
Hi! I’m Yasmine - I’ve been a sitter for 5+ years. I am CPR certified, first aid trained and fully vaxxed. I am also bilingual in Spanish. I am looking for flexible part time work, date night/weekend opportunities and also tutor. Looking forward to meeting you!
“I have not used my Urbansitter account in years and I reactivated to post a last minute job that Yasmine responded to. She accepted a phone interview and was even able to quickly provide a reference for me within 24 hrs. We met her in person a few days later and she stayed with my kids (6 and 9), for about 8 hours. She punctual and immediately stepped in to help get their dinner ready while I got dressed to go to my event. I hung out for a bit but I could tell the kids seemed comfortable so I felt good about leaving them in Yasmine's care. I could tell she has experience with young kids. Very warm and and really takes the time to get to know them. They told me she can definitely babysit them again!”

"Caitlin was awesome and jumped right in to chaperone four girls (10, 9, 8 and 6) at a family wedding (they were bridesmaids) and she was very helpful with the event as well as taking them home and putting them to bed."
Lila P., parent

"McKenna was great with our 3 year old son! She came prepared with a box of fun activities and handled playing, dinner, and bedtime seamlessly... and it was all at our hotel while we were in town for a wedding. Thank you McKenna!"
