Hi there! My name is Alexa and I am based in North Center! I have about 15 years of experience working with kids and hope to get back into working with local families and babysitting again. I used to work with kids all the time but slowed down when I had a full-time job. I still have a full-time job however my schedule allows me afternoons free and I thought I would see if I can fill any afterschool/date night babysitting needs!  I have worked with kids of all ages (newborn to preteens who just need overseeing to make sure the house doesn't burn down!) and was also a camp counselor for many summers in highschool and college. During college, I worked at Lakeshore Sport and Fitness as a daycare staff member and also ran their preschool transitions program as their lead team member. I ended up becoming a regular sitter for many families from Lakeshore (hence the lack of Urban Sitter activity!) I am open to regular date night sitting, after school sitting, overnights, weekend afternoons etc. I have worked with all age ranges and am comfortable with any and all. I drive but do not have my own car.  In addition to sitting I am happy to help with light house work, and also any family events (kids birthdays set up, craft plans, coordinating, etc!)  Please feel free to send me a message, and I am happy to provide references!  Thank you!

“Alexa was punctual, quick to respond to messages or questions, and had a positive attitude. Alexa followed my instructions and seemed to enjoy playing with my 5mo son. ”

Hello there! I'm Camila, a 27 year-old passionate about childcare and babysitting. With over 6 years of experience working with babies and toddlers here in America, I've developed a deep love for spending time with little ones and nurturing their development. In addition to childcare, I'm also happy to lend a hand with cooking, cleaning, or any other household chores that need to be taken care of. Being pet-friendly, I'm comfortable around dogs and cats. If you're in need of a responsible and caring childcare provider who will treat your little ones—and furry friends—with love and attention, I'd love to chat further. Let's create a safe and happy environment for your family together! Looking forward to hearing from you soon! Best, Camila
