Booked by 1 family in Chicago, IL

Hello! My name is Angela, and I’m a first-year graduate student at the Elliott School of International Affairs, where I’m earning my master’s degree in International Affairs. I am currently looking for a summer full time/ part time babysitter position while I spend my summer in Chicago. I offer reliable childcare, pet care, and household support. I’ve worked with children since I was 13 as a summer camp recreation leader for the Chicago Park District, daycare assistant, ESL teacher, and program facilitator, and currently a DCPS substitute teacher building a strong foundation in creating safe, fun, and nurturing environments for kids of all ages. I describe myself as sweet, kindhearted, and energetic, and I genuinely love helping children stay happy, healthy, and thriving. I’m also bilingual in English and Spanish, which allows me to support multilingual households and help children practice language skills when needed. In addition, I’m a big dog and cat lover, and I’m always excited to help with pets. I have a valid driver’s license, experience babysitting young children, and I’m comfortable cooking, cleaning, and running errands for families.

“We were so fortunate to have Angela support our family for a week during the morning and evening routines while one parent was out of town. She was dependable, proactive, and incredibly caring, helping keep our children happy, engaged, and on their normal routines during a busy time. Any family would be lucky to have her!”

"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."
