Jenna $25 per hour for 1 child

Hi! I have nanny experience caring for children ages 1 and 3, and I’m comfortable with toddlers and preschool-age kids. I help with daily routines like meals, naps, and bedtime, along with light meal prep and keeping play areas tidy. I enjoy outdoor and nature play, arts and crafts, reading, and imaginative play, and I prefer to keep screen time minimal. I’m patient, attentive, organized, and good with keeping a consistent routine.

Hello!! I’m Christy and I’m 18 years old, I graduated from yorkville high school and currently in community college. I am offering child care and pet care! Although I’m young, I feel I have obtained experience through my family, from having 5 siblings as well as nephews. I have also took care of cats and dogs throughout my years. I would love to share my skills, if needed, including tennis, cooking/baking, crafting, and reading! I’m able to help with chores and other activities/ tasks with kids or pets. I am certified as a lifeguard so I am CPR certified, as well as First Aid training and Heimlich training. I have my license as well!

"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."
