Tara 1 review
$20 per hour for 1 child

I am a mother and grandmother and love spending time with them 😃 I was an assistant pre -K teacher at Ravenswood Elementary specializing in Reggio Emilia as well as working in the after school program teaching arts and crafts . I am also a chef / food stylist . I taught at The Chopping Block for 5 years specializing in children’s classes and am able to help with meal prep if needed .

“I can’t say enough good things about Tara and her love for our 22-month old daughter, Ava. Tara has helped watch Ava for a little over a year now and has such a sweet bond with Ava. Tara is someone we trust and she has even spent the night at our house to take care of Ava overnight while we were away. She is caring, playful, mindful and overall a great caregiver. Can’t recommend her enough!”

Booked by 2 families in Wilmette, IL

Hi! I’m a graduate from Loyola University and am pursuing my Masters in Education. I’m offering child care, pet care, and household services. I’ve been working with children from the ages of 3 months to 13 years old for 6+ years now and have enjoyed every minute of it! I have years of experience in the school/classroom setting as well as babysitting for all different age levels. Working in these positions is a very fulfilling and rewards experience that taught me patience, creativity, and responsibility. Whether it’s playing games, helping with homework, or simply offering a listening ear, each interaction I’ve had contributes to the love I have for my job and building that safe and nurturing environment!

“Brianna has a sweet and nurturing nature that is immediately clear the second she walked in the door. Prior to the job, she was very communicative and responsive. She was professional and genuinely has a passion for spending time with kids. ”

"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."
