Hello Dear Parents. I am a mature single female with 2 adult children of my own. I am also "mom" to 4 fur babies (2 dogs & 2 cats) I am an English mother tongue speaker and fluent French speaker. I currently live in Bartlett IL & am ready and available to provide excellent weekend day and evening care for your children Sat's & Sun's. I can help with your pets as well if needed. I am currently a full time nanny for 2 families weekdays M-F. I am interested and available to care for your kiddos if you need an extra hand juggling the demands of parenting from 7pm onward on weekdays, drop offs and pick ups from extra curricular activities any day and time weekend days and also home care during night time hours on weekends so mom and dad can stay connected and share adult time alone. Once you and I have established a mutually trusting and comfortable relationship, I am open to overnight care options if you would like to have a getaway weekend as long as the timing of such would not conflict with with my commitments to my weekday families. I am an obsessional tidier so always picking up and putting away things. If needed, I can prepare age appropriate light meals with the ingredients you provide. I am not a cleaning lady although I am a clean lady. If mutually agreed upon in advance I may be able to assist with light housework and light laundry while babysitting, although child care would be my principal focus. My hourly base rate is $22 to 30 hour depending on how many children require care and the distance from my home. Extra duties will be an additional pre-agreed charge based on requirements. I am a non smoker, first aid and CPR certified. I own a recent, reliable vehicle. I welcome caring for children from diverse nationalities, faiths, and relationships. I am an active person that loves the outdoors and will take your children outdoors weather permitting. I believe in activities that foster creative minds and curiosity as apposed to screen time or electronic devices. I myself love reading and would love to read to your children from their favorite books and their play board games with them. I will be on the floor playing with and caring for your children, not sitting on your couch surfing the net or texting on my cell phone. I am firm but fun I cant wait to hear from you and meet your little ones or bigger ones. Lets talk soon and get to know each other. I have references to provide to directly verify Thank you and kind regards. Shelly

Hello, I am currently available on Wednesdays, Fridays and Saturdays. Hope something works out! :) I have experience working with little ones, adolescents, and adults with special needs in various settings. I've worked taking care of kids for years. I love kids; they're all unique and fun. I prefer to work with older children versus infants. If needed, I would send updates to the parents about how the day is going with pictures. Although it is more than worth my time and energy to care for your little one, it is important that I am compensated for the time originally agreed upon, even if you arrive earlier. I do require a 24-hour cancellation notice. I reserved that special time just for you. I am bilingual and have been told that people are very receptive to me. Look forward to meeting you and your family. Thank You! :)) (updated 07/2026)

"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."
