Booked by 2 families in Mchenry, IL

I have over 5 years of experience caring for children (mostly from 0 to 4 years old, including infants from 0 to 11 months), as well as helping older adults and taking care of pets. I truly enjoy creating a warm and safe environment for little ones — I’m calm, kind, and very patient. I’ve also spent several years helping seniors with everyday needs. I used to drive them to doctor’s appointments, help with grocery shopping, run errands, and spend quality time with them. I always try to make sure they feel supported, respected, and not alone. I’m comfortable with both cats and dogs, and I have experience feeding them, walking dogs, and helping keep the home clean and peaceful. I have my own car, a valid driver’s license, and I’m reliable, organized, and caring. My English is basic but clear — families find me easy to work with, and I always give my best.

I have cared for children ranging from infants to school-aged kids, and I am confident handling daily routines, meal prep, diaper changes, nap schedules, outdoor play, reading time, educational activities, and light housekeeping. I am also experienced in managing high-energy children and supporting their emotional development with patience and positive discipline. In addition to childcare, I have cared for pets and provided assistance with light cleaning, organizing, and running errands. I’m known for being responsible, trustworthy, and cheerful. Families often tell me they feel at ease knowing their children are safe and happy in my care. I take pride in being proactive, attentive, and dependable.

Whether you need help with occasional babysitting, full-time care, or support during busy workweeks, I’m here to help! I look forward to the opportunity to meet your family and become a trusted caregiver in your home.

Gabriela was great with all 4 of my kids. She’s very attentive and naturally caring. She ensured to ask me questions about them to know them better and they truly did like her very much. I will definitely book 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."
