Booked by 1 family in Plainfield, IL

I have extensive experience in childcare, senior care, dog and cat care, and household support. I’ve been babysitting since I was 14 and have worked hands-on with preschoolers and school-age children through school programs, as well as volunteering at a daycare. I’ve cared for kids of all ages, from infants to teens, and I’m comfortable with routines, homework help, and creating fun, age-appropriate activities. I started working with seniors at 16 in senior living facilities and as an in-home caregiver, providing companionship, mobility support, daily routine assistance, and safe supervision. I also began caring for dogs and cats at 14, helping with feeding, walking, and basic supervision. In addition, I’ve supported families by keeping their homes clean, organized, and running smoothly through tidying, laundry, errands, and light household tasks. I’m outgoing, patient, responsible, and genuinely enjoy connecting with people, which helps me provide compassionate and dependable care in every setting

"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."
