Booked by 4 families in Willow Springs, IL

Aloha! 😊 I’m Noemi. Thank you so much for taking the time to visit my profile! I’m 37 years young and have over 12 years of experience caring for children of all ages. Working with children has truly been one of the greatest joys of my life, and I feel incredibly blessed to have built lasting relationships with so many wonderful families over the years. My experience includes caring for infants, teaching toddlers their ABCs and 123s, and helping school-aged children with homework and after-school activities. Every child is unique, and I love creating a nurturing environment where they feel safe, loved, encouraged, and free to be themselves. As a nanny, my goal is to become a trusted extension of your family. I believe children learn best through play, exploration, and meaningful interactions. I enjoy planning fun and engaging activities like trips to the park, library visits, arts and crafts, outdoor adventures, story time, playdates, and other age-appropriate activities that encourage learning, creativity, and confidence. Parents describe me as caring, dependable, patient, organized, and trustworthy. I understand how important it is to leave your children with someone you can truly trust, and I take that responsibility to heart. Your child’s safety, happiness, and well-being will always be my top priorities. I am fortunate to have wonderful references from families I’ve had the privilege of working with, and they would be happy to share their experiences with you. If you think I may be a good fit for your family, I’d love the opportunity to connect, answer any questions, and learn more about your family’s needs. Thank you again for considering me. I look forward to meeting you and hopefully becoming a positive part of your family’s journey! 💛

“A big Noemi fan! ”

Booked by 6 families in Willow Springs, IL

Caring and reliable childcare provider with over 2 years of experience supporting children across different ages and personalities. I create a warm, structured environment where kids feel safe, engaged, and excited to learn. With a background in teaching and activity planning, I love organizing creative play, outdoor time, and educational moments that support each child’s development. I’m patient, proactive, and attentive to routines, safety, and emotional well-being—making sure both children and parents feel confident and at ease.

“Marifer was amazing! We hired her to keep an eye on our 3-year-old so that we could focus on packing our stuff for our upcoming move, and she did far far more than just keep an eye on her! It was a very hot day, so Ava constantly wanted to go to the playground, and then back home once she felt hot. Marifer humored her every single time, and they ended up going to the playground and back 5 times in the same day!! Ava had an amazing day, and now all she’s doing is asking when Marifer is coming back. 😊”

Journie $18 per hour for 1 child

Hi! I’m Journie! 💕 I’m a college student, athlete, and future teacher who loves staying active and spending time with kids. I played basketball at Morton College and have wrestled since sixth grade, including competing in freestyle wrestling at Fargo and receiving a wrestling scholarship. Outside of sports, I love being outdoors, exploring nature, reading, and singing. I’m also studying Early Childhood Education because I hope to become a teacher one day. I’ve been working with children for almost three years as a kids counselor at my local park district. I spent two years with the Mavericks program, working with K–3rd graders, and this year I work with Trailblazers, working with 3rd–6th graders. I help supervise kids, organize activities, play sports like basketball and soccer, and even help run sports programs at the park district. I’m energetic, patient, responsible, and love creating a safe and fun environment where kids can be themselves!

Natalie $18 per hour for 1 child

Hi! My name is Natalie and I am currently a sophomore at Miami University double majoring in psychology and piano performance. Not only do I have experience being a full-time nanny over the summer to two wonderful girls, I also have significant experience with babysitting children ages 0-16. These experiences have truly fostered my love for children and I am extremely passionate about creating a safe, stimulating, and of course fun environment for kids of all age ranges, genders, backgrounds, etc. I have a very lively, bubbly personality which allows me to connect with kids and keep up with them when it comes down to play time. I also pride myself in my patience and my ability to remain calm in stressful situations, especially when resolving conflict. I am CPR certified and first-aid trained which is a skill I have sharpened through my years of work as a lifeguard. Overall, I really love to be a safe space for kids to be their authentic self and aim to create a supportive and fun environment both for the kids and for the parents as well.

"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."
