Eva $23 per hour for 1 child

I’m 24 and currently pursuing my master’s in Elementary Education at DePaul. I’ve cared for kids from infants to grade schoolers, including summers babysitting my cousins while their pilot parents traveled. I’ve also worked in after-school programs and animal hospitals, so I’m equally great with pets! I’m CPR certified, active, and love keeping kids engaged through play, learning, and creativity. I’m happy to help with cooking, light cleaning, or homework—anything that keeps your home running smoothly.

"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."
