Since the age of 14, I've been passionate about childcare, starting with training at my local library. I stayed active throughout my four years of high school by doing gymnastics. In high school I also took 2 full years of Early Childhood Studies including a preschool class where we did lesson planning and taught preschoolers all subjects.By 15, I began working at a restaurant in arlington heights, where I stayed for a bit over three years. During this time, I also took small courses in childcare and realized my true calling was to become a nanny. I’m bilingual and enjoy teaching the little ones a bit!

"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."
