Shuntay is awesome, reliable, and very flexible with our schedule.!! Her communication and follow up is great. I have two children, ages 9 and 11. My son is on the spectrum, and he adores her. She does an amazing job looking after the kids. I honestly could go on and on about how amazing Shuntay is.

Sarrah was amazing with our 3 year old son! He’s typically very shy and doesn’t like being away from us but he warmed up to her immediately. She was great with sending us updates and she managed to get him to bed on time (normally pretty hard to do). We will definitely request Sarrah’s help again if we’re ever in Chicago!

Hi I'm Ryan, I've worked in daycare centers and summer camps. I graduated from South Suburban College. I've been in child care for about 12 years now, I've had 2 nanny jobs and several babysitter jobs. I started babysitting a lot at 20 because I got step family that gave me 8 little siblings and I had to babysit some of their friends mostly during the summers. I like to be very active with the kids with play time or taking them to play at the park, Coloring books or reading books with them. Always down to watch a movie or play games on the tablets with them if allowed. I also love going places if needed. A little about me, Play basketball at the parks, Volunteer at animal shelters when possible, Definitely like my video games. I would say I'm very punctual, Very patient and kids love me.

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 but my last day working for them will be June 26. I’m currently looking for a part-time position, but I’m also interested in full-time for the right family!

We’ve been using Terri as our nanny for our infant, and we truly couldn’t be happier. She’s absolutely wonderful with our little one—gentle, nurturing, and incredibly attentive to his needs. Terri is also very communicative, always keeping us updated and making sure we're on the same page. She’s a pleasure to work with and has made the transition into parenthood so much smoother for our family. We feel lucky to have found her!

Hello! I live in Chicago and have a full-time job during the week as a Delivery Consultant for a software company. I don't have any children of my own, but love being around children of all ages watching them react to new things and explore the world. I consider myself to be optimistic, friendly, energetic, creative, and firm when necessary. Outside of my full time job, I avoid screen time as much as possible. I much prefer to be out doing new things - love the arts, baking/cooking, and being active. I babysat regularly in high school and college - ages from infant to elementary. While in high school I volunteered at a local fitness center in the day care center, caring for children as their parents used the gym. I participated in Big Brothers/Big Sisters in college and enjoyed mentoring children in underserved communities. I have three young nieces and a nephew that live out of state. I don't get to see them as often as I would like, so I cherish my time with them and enjoy spoiling them as much as I can! I am generally available after 5pm on weekday evenings and anytime on weekends. I have a car and live in the South Loop neighborhood.

Hi! I’m a warm, dependable, patient, and attentive caregiver who enjoys creating a safe and positive environment for children. I first gained childcare experience working at a daycare when I was 17, where I had the opportunity to care for and interact with children in a structured setting. That experience helped me develop patience, responsibility, and an understanding of how important it is to keep children safe, engaged, and comfortable. I am open to meeting prior before picking me to be your babysitter!! Zoom call can be arranged as well ❤️ I enjoy keeping children engaged through age-appropriate play, activities, reading, homework help, and creative time. I’m also comfortable helping with meals, tidying up after the children, and following parents’ instructions and household routines. I’m reliable, organized, easy to communicate with, and committed to providing caring and respectful support to every family I work with. I look forward to meeting you and your little ones!
