Booked by 1 family in Calumet City, IL

As a new nanny, I bring a strong background in healthcare along with a bachelor’s degree in biology, which has given me a solid understanding of child development, health, and safety. I have hands-on experience working in nursing homes and daycares, where I developed patience, attentiveness, and the ability to care for individuals with varying needs. This combination of scientific knowledge and practical caregiving experience allows me to provide thoughtful, responsible, and nurturing care for children. I have strong experience caring for children through years of babysitting my cousins and working in a licensed daycare. Babysitting taught me to manage meals, homework, playtime, and bedtime while adapting to different ages and personalities. In the daycare, I supervised groups, led age-appropriate activities, supported learning and social development, and helped maintain a safe, positive environment.I have supported children’s emotional, social, and developmental growth through age-appropriate activities, positive guidance, and consistent routines. I prioritize safety, patience, and encouragement, while fostering a calm and inclusive atmosphere where children feel secure and valued. I work closely with families to respect household preferences and support each child’s unique personality and needs. These roles built my patience, communication skills, responsibility, and ability to respond calmly to children’s needs. My experience with senior care includes providing companionship, assistance with daily activities, light housekeeping, meal preparation, and support that promotes independence and dignity. I am attentive to physical and emotional well-being, and I approach senior care with respect, empathy, and professionalism. I am also comfortable caring for pets, including feeding, walking, administering basic care, and ensuring their routines are maintained. I recognize the importance of pets as family members and treat them with the same attentiveness and responsibility. Personally, I am patient, dependable, and detail-oriented, with strong time management and organizational skills. I remain calm under pressure and adapt easily to changing situations. My ability to build positive relationships, follow instructions, and maintain confidentiality makes me a reliable and trustworthy caregiver. I take pride in providing consistent, high-quality care that supports the well-being of individuals, families, and households.

“I have used Kyla services twice, and when I say she provided great care to my little one it is not an understatement. She is kind, patient and hands on with my little 1 year old who of course is full of energy like any toddler. It is fair to say I would definitely book her again. The only reason for the 4 stars and not a 5 star is because on her third booking, she did cancel on me almost an hour and half before the time slot needed via text. I work where I cannot use my phone, so I advise everyone in an emergency call twice so I know it’s important and I’ll step away. Unfortunately by being not properly alerted as advised it left me in a sticky situation that left my child at a daycare after closing hours and cost me exceptional amount of fee and emergency baby sitter fees. I hope this is 1x learning experience and in the future she does great in her future. ”

Booked by 1 family in Calumet City, IL

With 7 years of hands-on childcare experience and as a mom to a wonderful 4-year-old, I bring both professional knowledge and heartfelt understanding to every family I work with. I’m highly creative and artistic, and I love planning age-appropriate games, crafts, and activities that encourage learning, imagination, and confidence. I’ve supported many families with multiple children, so I’m comfortable managing different personalities, routines, and needs with patience and positivity. My personality is quirky, bubbly, and warm, which helps me quickly build strong connections with children while creating a safe, joyful environment. I believe in nurturing trust while setting healthy boundaries in a caring and compassionate way, helping children feel secure, respected, and supported as they grow.

“Manages temperaments and maintains energy, kindness and patience with 2 kids (ages 20 months and 5 months- not easy). Punctual, present & warm, her experience speaks for itself.”

"Johanna is AMAZING! My two boys love her - she does everything from amazing arts & crafts, to helping with homework, to getting them playing outside! She also drives them and does everything involved with after school activities: packing snacks, getting the right gear, etc."

"When we hired Amani, we felt like we hit the jackpot. We were very lucky to find her on UrbanSitter at the beginning of school year. She was picking up kids from school, taking them to afternoon activities, helping them with assignments. She prepped food for them, helped organize their closets and keep their spaces neat and orderly. We would hire her again in a heartbeat."
