Booked by 1 family in Park Forest, IL

I am a loving mother of 4 teens, 19, 15.15 and 14. I work as a Buyer for a Federal Contractor and as a Hairstylist part time. I have a genuine love for children and have helped raise my 7 nieces and nephews. I have plenty of children around me between family and friends that range from infants to school age that I sit from time to time. I also have 2 children ages 5 and 2, that spend a great deal of time at my home. They were God children of my deceased nephew that we grew to love as family. I am very caring, patient, fun and understanding. Most children attach to me easily. I am very experienced and patient with infants.

Hello! My name is Aralena and I am a full time graduate student who just moved to the state of Illinois. I recently graduated in May 2026 with a Bachelor’s of Science in Microbiology from Louisiana State University. I may be new to UrbanSitter but I have many years of experience working with kids and I love to do it! I have worked in daycares, party centers, and have lead children closely within a church setting. I have experience working with all ages ranging from infants to 12 years old. I have years of experience with meal times, sleeping, changing clothes, changing diapers, and play time. I have worked with children with disabilities (physical and mental) and have experience working with pets, specifically cats. I have my own cat! I love music (I can play 8 instruments!), reading, and cooking. I would love to help your family with anything needed!

Zamzam $25 per hour for 1 child

Hi! My name is Zamzam. I’m an experienced caregiver, educator, and working professional with a genuine love for helping others. I’m currently working on a passion project and looking to earn some extra income doing something I’ve always enjoyed—caring for and supporting others! I have experience caring for people of all ages, from infants and young children to older adults. My background as both a caregiver and educator has taught me the importance of patience, communication, reliability, and creating an environment where people feel safe and comfortable. I’m compassionate, dependable, and easy to communicate with, and I’m happy to work with families to understand their routines, preferences, and what makes their household run smoothly. I also have my own reliable vehicle, which gives me flexibility with transportation, activities, errands, and outings. Whether you’re looking for someone to keep your little ones safe and engaged, help with everyday routines, or simply be an extra set of dependable hands, I’d love the opportunity to get to know your family!
