Hi! I’m a DePaul University graduate with 15+ years of experience caring for children from infancy through their teens as a nanny, babysitter, tutor, and violin teacher. I speak English, Spanish, Farsi & Arabic, and have played violin for over 20 years. I’m experienced with infants, toddlers, and older children, including feeding, naps, developmental play, creative activities, homework, transportation, and bedtime routines. I create a fun, nurturing environment where children feel happy, safe, and cared for. Families describe me as warm, reliable, organized, and proactive. I bring patience and attentive care to every booking. I have a reliable car, a clean driving record, am a non-smoker, and am fully vaccinated, including COVID-19. I receive my annual flu shot and stay current on recommended adult immunizations. I’m available for occasional, overnight, and date night bookings. **Booking Policies** [Payment and Booking Hours] Since I set aside this time for your family, I kindly ask that payment cover all booked hours, even if the booking finishes early. I’m happy to accommodate extensions when possible and appreciate advance notice. Zelle or cash are my preferred payment methods. [Sick Care] I understand finding sick care can be challenging and am happy to help when appropriate! My sick care rates reflect the additional responsibilities & increased exposure to illness: $45/hr (1 child) | $55/hr (2 children). Sick care rates apply to children experiencing symptoms or staying home from school or daycare due to illness, including mild symptoms. This includes colds, flu, COVID-19, RSV, fevers, coughs, stomach bugs, lice & other contagious illnesses. Please disclose any symptoms, illness, or known exposure before booking. Certain highly contagious conditions or serious symptoms may be outside the care I can provide. Thank you for helping keep everyone safe! [Holidays] Bookings on holidays are charged at double my regular hourly rate: $60/hr (1 child) | $70/hr (2 children) | $80/hr (3 children). I appreciate your understanding, as holidays are especially valuable times with loved ones! [Driving] If I drive children in my personal vehicle, mileage is $0.76/mile for the full round trip, including my return journey. For your little ones’ safety and comfort, I ask that you provide any necessary car seats or booster seats. I'd love the opportunity to get to know your family and provide loving, dependable care for your little ones!

Hi, UrbanSitter families! 👋 I’m a lifelong Chicago-area resident, mom of three, and a trusted, experienced caregiver who truly loves working with kids of all ages. I’m a non-smoker, fully COVID-vaccinated and boosted, and I prioritize safety and reliability in everything I do. Caring for children has always been a huge part of my life. I’ve been a paid babysitter since my teens, am the oldest of six siblings, and spent 10 years as a Girl Scout leader—planning activities, leading overnight camping trips, and even international travel! While a GS leader, I maintained annual infant/child CPR and First Aid certification for a decade. Families describe me as punctual, dependable, calm, and creative. I love doing crafts, imaginative play, and reading. I’m always happy to help with meals and leave your space clean and organized after our time together. I have extensive experience with infants, toddlers, school-age children, and multiple siblings. I was state-registered as a respite caregiver for children with special needs for several years, and currently provide ongoing mentorship and care for a teen on the autism spectrum. Availability: I’m looking to support families during evenings and weekends. I have a standing commitment with another family on Sunday mornings but am available weeknights and most weekend days and evenings. A little more about me: I’m an art enthusiast, knitter, runner, and problem-solver. I’m happy to share access to my (privacy-protected) social media accounts so you can get to know me better, and I always welcome a call or Zoom chat before booking to be sure we’re a great fit. Booking details: • Mon–Thurs: 2.5-hour minimum • Fri–Sun: 4-hour minimum • Cancellations: – Less than 12 hours’ notice: 50% of booking – Less than 4 hours’ notice: 100% of booking I’d love to get to know your family and be a caring, dependable part of your village 💛
