Booked by 1 family in Palos Heights, IL

I always like kids, I like them to be free to play and learn in a safe environment. I like to help them to grow at their pace but exploring their own potential. I was some years in college in the biology carrer. I'm a mother of two and I'm ready to help.

“Olivia was great with my kids. She's very professional, she was punctual and even tidied up while she was at my home. The thing that stood out the most was how quickly my 2 year old son warmed up to her. It usually takes him a few times to get to comfortable with people, but she was so sweet and kind that he loved her right away! I will continue to hire her for our future babysitting needs.”

I’m a warm, reliable, and attentive caregiver who genuinely enjoys helping families feel supported. I’m calm, patient, and easy to communicate with, and I take safety and trust seriously. I enjoy spending time with kids through play, reading, homework help, and keeping routines running smoothly. I’m comfortable helping with meals, tidying up, and caring for pets as well.

"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."
