Booked by 1 family in Lockport, IL

I have extensive experience in childcare, senior care, dog and cat care, and household support. I’ve been babysitting since I was 14 and have worked hands-on with preschoolers and school-age children through school programs, as well as volunteering at a daycare. I’ve cared for kids of all ages, from infants to teens, and I’m comfortable with routines, homework help, and creating fun, age-appropriate activities. I started working with seniors at 16 in senior living facilities and as an in-home caregiver, providing companionship, mobility support, daily routine assistance, and safe supervision. I also began caring for dogs and cats at 14, helping with feeding, walking, and basic supervision. In addition, I’ve supported families by keeping their homes clean, organized, and running smoothly through tidying, laundry, errands, and light household tasks. I’m outgoing, patient, responsible, and genuinely enjoy connecting with people, which helps me provide compassionate and dependable care in every setting

Hello 👋 my name is Miss. Jocelynn and I am looking for new families to help. I have professionally nannied for ten years, and recently, I have completed my Montessori certification to teach children from new born theough three years of age with the Montessori method. Prior to receiving my Montessori certification, I held a CNA, EMT, First-Aid, and CPR certifications as I did my early education in health care, with First-Aid and CPR done very two years. Recently I have completed two years at a Montessori School where I worked directly with children ages 2 months old through 3 years old and found much enjoyment there, learning about children and their development. I am excited to meet new families and hope everyone has a wonderful day 🌄

Taryn $20 per hour for 1 child

Hello! My name is Taryn, I’m 20 and I am very passionate about working with children (and I love pets!). I currently attend the University of Tennessee in Knoxville, and I’m hoping to find a family that is looking for a nanny/frequent sitter. I’m currently in Knoxville TN, but will be in Darien IL during the summer and other breaks. I’m a sophomore and I’m studying to become a pediatric occupational therapist. I have a deep understanding of child development and the importance of fostering a positive and nurturing environment for children. I am committed to providing high-quality care that promotes growth, development, and learning for all the children I work with. I also have a younger brother who has autism and intermittent explosive disorder. I have spent countless hours working with him, learning about his needs and how to provide the best possible care for him. I have developed the patience, empathy, and the skills that are necessary to provide excellent care for children with a wide range of unique needs. I have been babysitting since I was 12 years old, and I worked at an after school daycare program at the Lagrange Highlands Elementary/Middle school with kindergarten-Middle schoolers for a year, before going to college. This past summer I was a full-time nanny for an 11 year old girl with some special needs, where I would drive her to her activities, ride bikes, swim, paint, bake desserts, make slime, and do other fun actives with. I also made her meals, walked their two dogs, and did various chores/maintenance cleaning each day. I know how important it is to feel comfortable and confident about leaving your children with a nanny/sitter, and I am more than happy to stop by to meet you and your kiddos before being hired. Thank you for considering me as your nanny. I look forward to the opportunity to work with you and your family!

"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."
