Lily $18 per hour for 1 child

Hi! My name is Lily and I have been babysitting for over 12 years! I love hanging out with kids whether that includes arts & crafts or playing soccer. I have worked as a overnight camp counselor for middle school aged children, where I developed emotional support skills. I have also been a regular babysitter for babies, toddlers, and more. I aim to provide a fun and comforting experience for the kids while also making sure the parents come home to a clean house:)

Caterina $17 per hour for 1 child

Hi, I'm Caterina. Im currently a freshman at Depaul University studying Animation and Math. I am offering child care, pet care, and household services. I love to have fun, do arts and crafts, and play games. I have been babysitting since I was around 14 and I have a lot of babysitting experience from young babies to older kids. I also have experience working with and taking care of kids with special needs. I am also a huge animal lover and would be more than happy to help out with any animals around the house. I have had 2 dogs of my own and have taken care of mainly dogs and cats for other households.

Morgan $20 per hour for 1 child

Hi! My name is Morgan offering childcare with pet and household services if needed during that time as well. I am super fun and energetic and strive to be the babysitter your kiddo asks to come back again and again! I have enjoyed working with children for the past 7 years - including several babysitting and nannying jobs with children newborn - 12 years old, working as a camp counselor for 4-12 year olds and as a behavioral therapist for children 2-10 years old and I am CPR and safety care certified. I really like all animals and I am happy to help with anything that is needed around the house whether that is cleaning, helping with a meal time (kiddo or animal!), helping with homework, or simply any random task that might need to be done while I am there and could have the time to do!

Kaela $20 per hour for 1 child

Hi! My name is Rudy. I’m a 27 year old trans queer educator & social worker. I moved to Chicago about 3 years ago to earn my masters in social work. Despite having many loved ones on the east coast, I stuck around after falling in love with this city. I currently live in the Irving Park neighborhood and I have a big ole Subaru outback! I work full time as a sexual violence prevention educator at a nonprofit. I’m available on weekday evenings with enough notice, and most weekends. I’ve worked with kids on and off my whole life, as I grew up with a mom who is a theater teacher and I would help her with her after school programs. I also have 25 first cousins, so there’s always kiddos around. Experience: Nanny to a 4 and 7 year old set of siblings during the pandemic years of 2020 & 2021. Sitter to a 7 week old through his 1st birthday. Sitter to middle schoolers. There are no reviews on my profile yet, as I just signed up for UrbanSitter this week, so I’m happy to provide references. I am a responsible, communicative, enthusiastic and earnest person. I look forward to speaking with you, and answering any questions you may have for me!
