Hello! My name is Rachel, and it would be an honor to babysit your children. With my 6 years of experience in a paid childcare setting and an additional 3 years unpaid babysitting for friends and family, I ensure your children will be in great hands. I also have a child of my own who is now nine years old, which gives me some parenting experience. I have plenty of involvement with assisting children to meet the appropriate developmental stages for their age. I have multiple outlets for learning activities including fine motor and large motor skills. When babysitting, I will sometimes bring a bag filled with some materials to help assist with games and crafts (with permission). Kids usually love my big imagination, that I love to sing, my sensory crafts, and my outdoor skills/activities. Some extra duties I am willing to help out with would include light household cleaning if time, parents, and children allow it, potty training, grocery pick-up, and meal prep. I currently nanny for a family in Frankfort Monday through Thursday and I’m looking to fill my Fridays along with the weekends! Although, mom will be going on maternity leave mid June and I am looking to care for someone this summer! Mom is off until January, so I can even extend it to that time if needed and also possibly open to staying with new family! Please contact me if you’re interested.

I love being a babysitter because I enjoy caring for children and helping them learn, grow, and have fun in a safe environment. Every day is different, and I value the trust families place in me to look after their most important treasures. It’s rewarding to see a child’s smile, watch their confidence grow, and know I’m making a positive impact on their development.

Hi families! My name is Abbie, and I bring over eight years of experience in childcare, youth education, and creative program development. I am CPR and First Aid certified, trained in trauma-informed practices, and deeply committed to creating nurturing, structured, and imaginative environments where children feel seen, safe, and inspired to grow. My childcare journey began as a summer camp counselor at the YMCA, where I quickly realized how much I loved being a supportive and positive presence in young people’s lives. Since then, I’ve cared for children across all age groups—from infants to toddlers, school-aged children, preteens, and teens—in both private and educational settings. Over the years, I’ve taken on many roles: sitter, camp counselor, academic mentor, teaching assistant, and museum educator. I’ve worked closely with families to provide structure and stability during after-school routines, evening care, school breaks, and transitions. In addition to home-based care, I’ve worked in the education departments of major contemporary art museums, including the Museum of Contemporary Art Chicago, where I led hands-on family workshops, youth gallery tours, and inclusive programs for early learners. These roles helped me develop a creative, patient, and adaptable approach that I bring into every caregiving setting. I’m currently pursuing a dual Master’s degree at the School of the Art Institute of Chicago. My academic training, combined with years of hands-on childcare experience, allows me to bring a unique blend of creativity, calm leadership, and structure to every family I work with. I have experience supporting children with diverse learning needs, including those with ADHD, anxiety, sensory sensitivities, and emotional regulation challenges. As a sitter, I’m here to do more than supervise—I aim to be a reliable, intentional support system for your child and your family’s rhythm. I’m happy to assist with homework, light meal prep, creative activities, screen-free play, bedtime routines, and transportation. I love planning engaging art projects, reading together, outdoor walks, and helping kids feel both independent and cared for. I value professionalism, clear communication, and mutual respect with every family I partner with. I understand how important it is to find someone you can trust with your children and your home, and I approach that responsibility with care, consistency, and intention.
