$18 per hour for 1 child
Booked by 2 families in River Grove, IL

Hello, I'm Jasmine, a 26-year-old graduate from the University of Illinois, Urbana-Champaign. Recently I have been affected by the tech layoffs and my role as a UX design was affected. I'm looking for part-time work as a babysitter/nanny. There is a 1-star review on my profile, but that does not reflect my consideration of showing up on time for my appointments. Please consider my application! About me: I consider myself a patient, responsible, and creative individual. My free time is filled with activities such as painting, drawing, singing, playing tennis, learning Mandarin, and cooking. Relevant Experience: In 2020, I served as a full-time nanny for two children, ages 4 and 7, a boy and a girl. During this period, my responsibilities included making lunch, light housework, engaging in playtime, and teaching arts and crafts. If your child enjoys crafts, I'd be delighted to share these activities with them. In college, I tutored math and English at the Boys and Girls Club near my campus. Given that school is back in session, I'm enthusiastic about offering assistance with any tutoring needs.

“Wonderful with our kids. Would recommend 100%”

"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."
