Madi 1 review
$30 per hour for 1 child
Booked by 1 family in Lovejoy, IL

I come from a big family in the US so I've spent a lot of time around my nieces and nephews helping to wrangle, watch, and love on them. I have a naturally calm and playful spirit, I pick up on the energy and mood of the child and also adults so I can adjust to their needs. I'm strong and active so I can handle a lot and I value effective communication so we can understand one another and make sure we'll all on the same page. I love entertaining kids with various activities--mind, body, and spirit!

“We highly recommend Madi for any family looking for a caring, dependable, and energetic caregiver. She cared for our three children (5yr old son who has an IEP, as well as our 8 and 9yr old daughters) and consistently met each of their unique needs. She brought incredible energy, keeping the children engaged with fun, creative, and age-appropriate activities while maintaining a structured, supportive environment. She was especially attentive to our son's individual needs, demonstrating patience, understanding, and a willingness to work with the strategies that helped him thrive. Her calm, encouraging approach made a meaningful difference in his daily routine. She also built wonderful relationships with our daughters, balancing their different personalities and interests while ensuring everyone felt included, supported, and cared for. She was reliable, professional, communicative, and always ready to make the day both productive and enjoyable. We recommend without hesitation!!”

"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."
