Booked by 6 families in Oak Park, IL

As a responsible, calm, and patient 24-year-old babysitter, I have 4 years of experience caring for children of all ages, from babies to teenagers. I'm fluent in American Sign Language, English, and Spanish, making me well-equipped to communicate with diverse families. I'm comfortable working with children who have special needs, including anxiety disorders, autism, deafness, food allergies, OCD, physical limitations, tics, visual impairments, asthma, ADHD, ODD, CD, and epilepsy. My skills include reading, language, crafting, music, and games, and I'm happy to assist with homework. I'm also comfortable with pets, cooking, chores, and have a reliable car and driver's license. With an Associate of Arts degree, I'm dedicated to providing a safe, nurturing environment for your children. I'd be excited to meet your family and discuss how I can contribute to your childcare needs. I look forward to working with you and your family!

Maria did a great job watching our 7 month old!

Jovana 1 review
$25 per hour for 1 child

Hello, my name is Jovana! I graduated college in June of 2024. I offer childcare and pet care. I have been babysitting on and off since I was 18 years old. I have about a year experience with children ages 6 to 8. I also have around 3 years of experience with children ages 2-5. I enjoy preparing snacks and helping the kiddos with homework if needed. I try to come up with fun ways to keep the kids busy, such as playing board games, building forts, and the occasional dance party. As far as pet care, I grew up having two cats and currently have a German Sheppard. I am comfortable taking dogs on walks and feeding the animals when necessary. I am also open to household chores/errands if needed! I can cook, clean, or take the kids to and from activities after school.

Jovana has been an incredible babysitter for our family over the past five years. She has been taking care of our two kids (now 7 and 5) and we couldn’t ask for someone better. She is fun, reliable, and truly great with children. Our kids absolutely love spending time with her, they always look forward to the creative activities and games she comes up with. Beyond being fun, she is also responsible and dependable. We always feel at ease knowing our children are in her care. She balances playfulness with ensuring they follow routines and stay safe. If you’re looking for someone who genuinely cares about kids and makes babysitting a positive experience, we highly recommend Jovana

I can't say enough good things about Myriam Chery, who took care of my baby from one month to 15 months. She arrived every weekday at 9 AM and was dedicated to creating a loving and safe environment. Myriam not only engaged my child with fun activities but also kept a daily journal updating me on milestones and daily routines. She also responsibly administered medication when needed, which made me feel incredibly reassured. Her warmth made a noticeable difference in my baby's early development, and she communicated openly about everything. I highly recommend Myriam to any family looking for a caring and reliable nanny! We're so grateful for her support during such crucial.

"We absolutely LOVE Isa — our family was so fortunate to have found her through UrbanSitter. I'm a first-time mom, and it took me a long time to find a full-time nanny I could trust to care for our sweet infant boy. Our boy connected with her immediately, and we couldn't have asked for anyone else to care for him. Her calming presence was also perfect for parents like us who work from home. We feel so lucky UrbanSitter helped us find someone who has truly become a part of our family."

"I was so stressed about finding a part-time nanny for my 14-month-old son, who has moderate separation anxiety and hadn't been left with anyone but family before, but we were both immediately at ease in Buhay's presence. Her empathy and commitment to understanding child development are apparent in every interaction I've witnessed between her and my toddler. I feel very lucky to have found her."

Kamilah W., mom of one

photo of quoted parent Eric

"Erna watched our now 5 year old daughter and 3 year old son for a few years. She is punctual, responsible, honest, and playful. What we appreciated most was that she was thoughtful in ensuring that we had a little break; for example, when the kids were clingy, she was able to divert their attention with games or songs or walks to the park. We felt very comfortable leaving our kids with Erna because of her caring nature and experience that spans a decade (including being a live-in nanny)."
