Hi! My name is Katie, and I’m a Licensed Social Worker (LSW) with an MSW from Columbia University. I’m based in Chicago, pursuing a career in pediatric medical social work, while looking for part-time and full-time childcare opportunities in the meantime! I have years of experience working with children in schools, hospitals, and clinical settings, including extensive experience supporting children with developmental disabilities and complex needs. Through my social work training and hands-on experience, I’ve developed a strong understanding of child development and bring a warm, patient, creative, and compassionate approach to working with kids. I’m comfortable caring for children with a wide range of personalities, abilities, and needs, and I’m passionate about creating environments where children feel safe, supported, and able to have fun. I’m also experienced with pet care and household help. I’m reliable, attentive, responsible, and genuinely love working with children. I’d love to chat and learn more about what your family is looking for!

"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."
