Booked by 12 families in River Grove, IL

Hello! My name is Allison, but I also go by Alli. I received a bachelor's and master's degree in Environmental Science, but art is also a large part of my life and I love to encourage creativity along with a love of nature! I live on the northwest side of Chicago with my grumpy senior dog. I am more than happy to help you and your family with homework, cleaning/chores, or meals. I'm also an animal lover and comfortable helping with most pets. I currently work a full-time standard Mon-Fri job (working with trees!) and am looking to supplement my income with occasional jobs or a part time role if it fits. I have used the Urban Sitter app off and on for many years and even worked a full-time nanny position found here for 8 months while I was in transition after grad school, so I'm very familiar and experienced with the work/app. Feel free to reach out to me with any questions!

“Alli is a wonderful sitter. Cheerful, capable, and trustworthy. My son had a great time with her.”

Hi there, my name is Courtney and I am currently 34 years old. I have my Master’s of Public Health and Bachelors in Communication. I have been babysitting for over 10 years for children of all ages, and have even worked in a pre-school. I believe in having a fun, educational time with the children I babysit while following all of the parent's rules. I am also an animal lover, so if you have any pets I would be happy to tend to them while watching your children! I look forward to getting to know you, and your kids!

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!”

Hello! My name is Annaliese and I am a medical student at UNC Chapel Hill SOM who is in Chicago to perform research for the summer! I am in Chicago from 7/2 - 7/31. I am fully vaccinated (with booster) and have had extensive experience with kids; I worked as a substitute teacher in special education K-8 during college breaks, served as a camp counselor at a summer music camp, have babysat for at least 35 families since I was 15, and tutored chemistry and physics for high school and college students. I LOVE cooking (esp. healthy foods!) and would be happy to help meal prep and perform light household chores (i.e light cleaning, dishwashing, laundry) for you and your family. I would also be happy to help your kids with tutoring if needed and am a huge fan of off-screen time. Regarding travel, I am absolutely open to it and have traveled with families to Tahoe and Northeast Harbor and as a nanny recently! Please don't hesitate to reach out if you think I would be a good fit for you and your family! :)
