Booked by 6 families in Manhattan, IL

I have been in child care in many different capacities for ten years and have experience with children of all ages. Having been a household manager, nanny, and even an au pair I have seen a little bit of everything. Currently I live on the north side of Chicago but I have my own car and am more than comfortable traveling. I have an undergraduate degree from Southern Illinois as well as a background in linguistics. Currently I am a career nanny but I also attend law school in a blended program. I am Red Cross first aid, CPR, and lifeguard certified as well.

Mackenzie was such a great sitter! She helped us out in a last minute pinch and my 11 and 8 year old loved her!

"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."
