Martina $25 per hour for 1 child
Booked by 1 family in Hillside, IL

Hello! My name is Martina and I have over 27 years of experience caring for children of all ages — from newborns to school-aged kids. I truly enjoy helping children learn, play, and grow in a safe and loving environment. Families describe me as kind, patient, and dependable. I’m comfortable with pets, have my own transportation, and can help with light cleaning, meals, or errands if needed. I’ve worked with several wonderful families in the Chicagoland area, including Glenview and Franklin Park, and I always treat the children I care for as if they were my own. I’m looking forward to meeting a family that values trust, care, and positive energy!

Chere $26 per hour for 1 child

Hello—I’m a dependable, thoughtful caregiver with a calm, grounded presence and strong attention to detail. I bring a professional mindset to every home I work in, along with a genuine appreciation for creating environments where people (and pets) feel comfortable, supported, and well cared for. For child care, I have experience with children ages 5–12 and enjoy engaging them in reading, writing, arts and crafts, and both indoor and outdoor play. I also provide homework support, including tutoring in reading, writing, and elementary French. I’m an excellent cook and am happy to prepare nutritious, thoughtfully planned meals. I am particularly attentive to children with neurodiverse needs and understand the importance of consistency, patience, and following established routines. I’m comfortable working within specific structures or care plans to support each child’s comfort, focus, and overall well-being. For senior care, I offer warm, respectful companionship along with practical support such as meal preparation, light organization, and medication reminders. I’ve seen firsthand how meaningful it is for families to have someone they trust to step in, and I take that responsibility seriously, providing both ease for the family and genuine connection for the individual. For pet care, I have extensive experience with dogs and cats of all sizes, ages, and medical needs. I’m comfortable with walking, feeding, playing, and administering medications, including injections and subcutaneous fluids. I’m at ease with large breeds and high-energy animals and have no concerns about shedding. I’m comfortable with a wide range of temperaments and energy levels; however, I am not a behavioral trainer. For the safety and well-being of both your pet and me, I do expect a baseline of manageable behavior and clear communication around any known triggers or routines. I’m always happy to follow established guidance to ensure a smooth and positive experience. Above all, I am reliable, discreet, and attentive. I understand the importance of trust when inviting someone into your home, and I aim to provide not just support but a sense of calm confidence that everything is being handled with care.

"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."
