Booked by 9 families in Oak Lawn, IL

Hi, my name is Samia and I'm currently a student studying to become a nurse, with the goal of specializing in pediatric care. I am offering child care services. I have experience caring for children from ages 1 to 8 years old, including helping with feeding, dressing, playtime, reading, school drop-offs/pickups, and bedtime routines. I truly enjoy spending time with children, and I take pride in creating a safe, engaging, and nurturing environment for them. My goal is always to support both the child's emotional and physical development while keeping things fun and age-appropriate. I am CPR certified and well-versed in safety procedures for children. In addition to caregiving, I'm comfortable with pets-I have a dog myself-and understand how important they are to a family. I also have practical skills in cooking, cleaning, and I'm happy to drive to appointments or run errands as needed. Thank you for considering me. I look forward to the opportunity to care for your little ones!

“Sam was able to help us out on short notice when we had a last minute cancellation of our child care, and she was great with the kids. We would definitely have her over again!”

Booked by 1 family in Oak Lawn, IL

Hi! My name is Rue, I’m 23 years old. I’m fairly new to the site and excited to connect with your family! I have been working with children for the past 6 years in an in-home daycare as well as a daycare facility. Most of my experience is working with newborns through middle school age kids. Some of my favorite activities to do with the kids under my care are singing, tummy time, sensory play and exploring different toys for the babies I’m caring for. For my elementary/ middle school aged kids, I like to read books, hands on crafts, and interactive activities. I look forward to meeting your family!

“Rue was an excellent sitter for our two month old. It was reassuring to know about her background working with infants, and she did a great job. We’re looking forward to having her back”

"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."
