Angelina $20 per hour for 1 child

Hi! I’m Angelina, a UIC student graduating this December with degrees in English and Criminology. I currently work as an Assistant Teacher at the UIC Children’s Center, where I care for infants, toddlers, and preschoolers every day. I’m CPR/First Aid certified and love creating a fun, safe, and engaging environment for children. I’m reliable, patient, and happy to help with homework, crafts, meal prep, bedtime routines, and light housekeeping related to the kids. I’m looking for part-time nannying or babysitting opportunities this fall and can provide references upon request. I don’t have a car, so I’m looking for families near the West Town/UIC area or along CTA routes. I haven’t not used this app until more recently. I normally am in Facebook groups or word of mouth!

"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."
