I am a mom to two fabulous kids and it has been my absolute joy to watch them grow. in addition to my children, each school year I host two international students. I choose to do this so that I can share our culture and community while learning about the student's culture and community. I have a B. S. in Health Sciences and Education from Bradley University and have worked as a Director of Nutrition Services at various Long Term Care facilities for the past 22 years. I enjoy being a positive part of peoples' stories. I am confident that your children will always be smiling in my care. I am flexible and adapt easily to change. Please feel free to contact me. Thank you in advance for your consideration.

Louise was wonderful to work with! I hired Louise for a 2-day event with other caregivers, and she worked with our babies. She was very thorough and thoughtful, and I knew our littles were in great hands with her and her expertise.

"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."
