Angel $20 per hour for 1 child

I have experience caring for children of different ages, and I truly enjoy creating a safe, fun, and nurturing environment for them. I’ve helped with daily routines such as homework, playtime, organizing activities, and keeping a consistent schedule. I understand how important it is for children to feel comfortable, supported, and engaged. I’m patient, attentive, and dependable, and I always make safety my top priority. I communicate well with both children and parents, making sure everyone feels heard and informed. I enjoy being creative through games, crafts, and outdoor activities, and I’m able to adapt to each child’s unique personality and needs. While I don’t have much experience with cooking yet, I’m very willing to learn and follow any instructions or meal guidelines provided. What makes me a great caregiver is my genuine care for children, my strong sense of responsibility, and my ability to stay calm and positive in any situation. I strive to build trust and create a warm environment where kids can learn, grow, and have fun.

Booked by 1 family in Lyons, IL

Hello families! I'm Jason Gonzalez, an energetic Teacher's Assistant for Pre-K: 4-5, working for CPS for 3 years. I have two years experience in the Pre-K setting, and also one year of experience with age groups 7-9. At work I specialize in leading academic activities (e.g math, writing), and put a large emphasis on social and emotional development. My classroom also takes pride in play-based learning, which has helped our entire pre-k team earn a gold star rating! I currently attend Dominican University pursuing a Bachelors in History with a concentration in Education. My graduation date is Spring 2027. With my combined educational classes/field work and hands-on experience working in a public school setting, I consider myself an ideal candidate for childcare of all age ranges and backgrounds! I have also cared for both cats and dogs between family and friends throughout my academic career, and enjoy their company as much as anyone else's 🥰

“Jason was very responsive and professional, and my kids (3 and 5) had a great time with him. Jason has a very calm presence and knows how to engage/talk to kids. He helped my boys with dinner and bedtime, and the kids especially enjoyed book time with Jason. We’ll ask him to babysit again.”

"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."
