Booked by 2 families in River Forest, IL

I have a degree in Advertising and Marketing, and I bring not only responsibility and dedication but also a lot of creativity , a quality I apply in both childcare and daily tasks. I have experience with babies as young as 4 months old, as well as with children over 5 years old, always ensuring a safe, fun, and nurturing environment. I enjoy creating playful and educational activities tailored to each child’s age. I'm an animal lover and happy to help care for pets with love, and I’m also willing to assist with household organization when needed. I'm communicative, proactive, and truly enjoy contributing to a family's well-being.

"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."
