Hi- my name is Leslie (jannet) I am 21years old I do have a job I only work Fridays overnights and 12hr shifts on the weekends. I am a non-smoker and drinker. I’m a security officer at Chicago downtown as my main job. The rest is off days I am open minded, fast learner, great listener and very patient when it comes to kiddos. I’ve worked at daycare and have done observation hours in college. I have 3 year experience with children including my family kids. I know nanny roles but never been one due to not having certifications at the moment but I am studying “early Childhood education” with a minor in “ESL and bilingual endorsement” . Which yes I am bilingual and I can teach children Spanish and sign language. I am reliable when it’s needed and currently I don’t have a car but I can take your kids to the park or pick them up walking or bus transportation ! Kids get attach to me quickly and I would treat them like if they were mine. For household services I go all out when it comes to cleaning and sanitation and organizing homes as well I have 3-4 years of experience I seem like it’s my hobby more than a chore. If I’m someone you’re looking for please send me a message directly in the app! I can’t wait to meet you:)

"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."

"Caitlin has been such a lifesaver for our family. We hired Caitlin to help with the after school routine. The kids took to her instantly. She does it all - school pick ups, dinners, baths, lunch making, clean up, etc. She has really helped make a busy time so much easier for us."
