Important notice: I will not be available until December 23rd. I won’t be available for any bookings until then. Hello. My name is Jenn, and I am a former K-3rd grade Art teacher and currently an English teacher in Spain. I will be back in Chicago soon and would love to continue connecting with families. I have worked with children of various ages and love keeping them active and engaged in fun activities. I speak both English and Spanish and have experience teaching Spanish as well. I have two cats, so I don't mind taking care of pets as well. I am a very outgoing person with a bubbly personality. If you have any questions, please don’t hesitate to reach out.

Booked by 5 families in Oak Park, IL

Hi, my name is Kati! I have been working with kids and pets for 12 years. I am currently in the process of going back to graduate school for Occupational Therapy, hoping to work in the pediatric sector. I just finished a summer internship with a pediatric occupational therapy clinic where I learned about developmental milestones, sensory needs, and helping kids communicate, as well as a variety of other skills! I currently provide part-time after school care to three children, so I have a good amount of flexibility and availability for daytime coverage, and date nights. I have also provided after school nannying for a family in Cincinnati for two years and a one other family in Chicago for three years. I have provided childcare to dozens of other families across the city, including for school closures, childcare gaps, and date nights. I’ve worked in the childcare part of conferences and weddings multiple times. I was a camp counselor for a theatre camp for two years leading ages 5-18 through a variety of activities. I currently volunteer at Lurie Children’s Hospital’s Almost Home Kids. I am CPR certified for the fifth time.

“Kati was quick to respond to my job posting and answered all my questions. She helped supervise several small children at my wedding reception and was a huge hit with the parents and kids. The parents loved how attentive she was. I would recommend Kati for any typical babysitting job or event babysitting! Thanks Kati!”

Hi! My name is Dria and I am a college student studying in downtown Chicago at Roosevelt University. I am living in an apartment in Pilsen, and am available to work anywhere accessible by CTA! I am CPR and First Aid certified! I have 6 siblings, 3 of them being younger than me (2, 6, and 10 years younger!) so I have a lot of experience with kids of all ages. I have done a lot of summertime babysitting for family, friends, and more. I also worked as a Camp Counselor at a children’s summer camp! I can cook, clean, and of course ensure that your children are in a safe, comfortable, and fun environment!

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. ”
