Hi, My name is Evie I am taking a gap year from my studies at Loyola University Chicago, I am currently taking on a break in pursuit of writing a novel. I have worked professionally as a childcare provider for almost 8 years. However, as the oldest of nine I have lifetime experience of looking after children. Fun fact: I consider myself a great cook and knowledgeable about nutrition and fun recipes. I am seeking occasional/part time hours but long term connections. I am located in Old Town but provide care throughout the city of Chicago and near by suburbs. During the summer I am open to full or part time opportunity to support family’s in the Chicagoland area. I provide care for children ages 0-16. Rate depends on age, needs, number of children. I work great with children of all ages and can adapt myself to their individual needs. Thanks for booking with me. Evie

"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."
