I have worked with children for more than 8 years, from babysitting to volunteer programs to camp counseling. I bring joy, fun, structure, and attention to detail to my work with children, making the experience enjoyable and the adjustment smooth for kids and parents alike. My primary experience is with children ages 2-14, but I have occasionally worked with younger and older children, as well. Furthermore, I have more than 10 years of experience with pet sitting, becoming a reliable sitter and walker for families with dogs, cats, rabbits, guinea pigs, and other household animals.

$24 per hour for 1 child
Booked by 1 family in Forest Park, IL

Hello! I have experience in childcare, as a mother I understand and comprehend the requirements and attention that children demand, I can help with easy tasks around the house such as preparing food for the children, basic cleaning, running errands, taking the kids to extracurricular activities, I also love pets, I have full-time availability from Monday to Friday from 8:30 am to 2:30pm, my main language is Spanish but I understand English at 50%.

“Iris has been part of our family for two years, and it's hard to imagine our kids' early years without her. She started caring for our daughter Luna at just 3 months old, and when our son Atlas arrived about six months later, she took him on too, managing two infants without missing a beat. What sets Iris apart is how naturally she's become family, not just childcare. She reads both kids incredibly well, adapting to their different personalities and needs, and handled the jump from one baby to two with a calm we didn't know was possible. One thing we especially value is that Iris speaks to our children in Spanish, giving them real bilingual exposure from infancy. If you're looking for a professional nanny who will genuinely love your children and grow with your family, Iris is exactly that. We recommend her without hesitation.”

"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."
