Booked by 10 families in Woodridge, IL

HELLO ✨ Before I blab about myself, I’d like to first extend a warm welcome and hug of encouragement! Raising little people can be ROUGH and we’re all doing the best we can, which is why I’m so passionate about “The Village” ! It takes a community to raise decent human beings. That’s where I come in as a helping hand. My experience dates back to over a decade. I’ve worked with kids ranging between preemie infants to transitioning young adults, including disabled & special need individuals💛💙🥰 I’m looking for a full time long term family to grow with as a nanny or full/part time babysitting. I’m usually flexible, and always easy going. Reliable, alert, and safe.

“Chanyelle was wonderful and very caring. She was calm, patient, and attentive while watching over my sleeping kids. She made sure they were safe and comfortable throughout the night and kept the house peaceful and organized. It gave me great peace of mind knowing my children were in such good hands. I truly appreciate her kindness, professionalism, and reliability, and i would gladly recommend her to other families.”

Booked by 6 families in Woodridge, 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. 😊”

Booked by 1 family in Woodridge, IL

I have extensive experience in childcare, senior care, dog and cat care, and household support. I’ve been babysitting since I was 14 and have worked hands-on with preschoolers and school-age children through school programs, as well as volunteering at a daycare. I’ve cared for kids of all ages, from infants to teens, and I’m comfortable with routines, homework help, and creating fun, age-appropriate activities. I started working with seniors at 16 in senior living facilities and as an in-home caregiver, providing companionship, mobility support, daily routine assistance, and safe supervision. I also began caring for dogs and cats at 14, helping with feeding, walking, and basic supervision. In addition, I’ve supported families by keeping their homes clean, organized, and running smoothly through tidying, laundry, errands, and light household tasks. I’m outgoing, patient, responsible, and genuinely enjoy connecting with people, which helps me provide compassionate and dependable care in every setting

"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."
