Hi! I’m Yasmine - I’ve been a sitter for 5+ years. I am CPR certified, first aid trained and fully vaxxed. I am also bilingual in Spanish. I am looking for flexible part time work, date night/weekend opportunities and also tutor. Looking forward to meeting you!
“I have not used my Urbansitter account in years and I reactivated to post a last minute job that Yasmine responded to. She accepted a phone interview and was even able to quickly provide a reference for me within 24 hrs. We met her in person a few days later and she stayed with my kids (6 and 9), for about 8 hours. She punctual and immediately stepped in to help get their dinner ready while I got dressed to go to my event. I hung out for a bit but I could tell the kids seemed comfortable so I felt good about leaving them in Yasmine's care. I could tell she has experience with young kids. Very warm and and really takes the time to get to know them. They told me she can definitely babysit them again!”

Important notice: I will not be available until July 2nd, 2026. I will be finishing teaching abroad before then. Hello. My name is Jenn, and I am a former K-3rd grade Art teacher and currently an English teacher in Spain. I will be back in Chicago soon and would love to continue connecting with families. I have worked with children of various ages and love keeping them active and engaged in fun activities. I speak both English and Spanish and have experience teaching Spanish as well. I have two cats, so I don't mind taking care of pets as well. I am a very outgoing person with a bubbly personality. If you have any questions, please don’t hesitate to reach out.
