Booked by 1 family in Forest Park, IL

I am a nursing student with a background in the medical field as a CNA and have worked as a professional in a hospital setting. I am bubbly, hardworking, reliable and flexible. I would also be willing to help with any household chores, pets, etc.

“Kiana was wonderful. My little one is an average active toddler, yet Kiana was so gentle and patient with him. She read him read books and participated in other activities including meal time. When I came home from work, the house was clean just as I had left it. Which was a shocker because I know with toddlers it seems like you clean up one thing, but they’re into something else😩. But Because the house was clean I was able to really sit and breathe for a second as he napped. Leaving work to do house work is tiresome, so thank you so much Kiana for everything. ”

Jovana 1 review
$25 per hour for 1 child

Hello, my name is Jovana! I graduated college in June of 2024. I offer childcare and pet care. I have been babysitting on and off since I was 18 years old. I have about a year experience with children ages 6 to 8. I also have around 3 years of experience with children ages 2-5. I enjoy preparing snacks and helping the kiddos with homework if needed. I try to come up with fun ways to keep the kids busy, such as playing board games, building forts, and the occasional dance party. As far as pet care, I grew up having two cats and currently have a German Sheppard. I am comfortable taking dogs on walks and feeding the animals when necessary. I am also open to household chores/errands if needed! I can cook, clean, or take the kids to and from activities after school.

“Jovana has been an incredible babysitter for our family over the past five years. She has been taking care of our two kids (now 7 and 5) and we couldn’t ask for someone better. She is fun, reliable, and truly great with children. Our kids absolutely love spending time with her, they always look forward to the creative activities and games she comes up with. Beyond being fun, she is also responsible and dependable. We always feel at ease knowing our children are in her care. She balances playfulness with ensuring they follow routines and stay safe. If you’re looking for someone who genuinely cares about kids and makes babysitting a positive experience, we highly recommend Jovana”

"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."
