Migle is a professional babysitter. You can tell she has a large amount of experience babysitting and enjoys what she does. She is easy to communicate with and always arrives on time. My children have easily adjusted to her. When she arrived the first time and I was explaining procedures, she asked questions I hadn't even thought of. That made be feel assured I had picked the right babysitter for my children. They are always eager for her to babysit.

Hey there parents! I am only available as a part time/date night sitter at this time. I will update this if that changes. I am a super happy, energetic filmmaker and singer living in the Ravenswood area. When I am not watching kiddos, I run a small business playing D&D (Dungeons & Dragons) and other table top role playing games with kids ages 8 to 16 online. I can help with homework, sing songs, play games, cook them dinner, clean up, whatever you need. I am excellent with animals as well: dogs, cats, pigs, birds, you name it! At this time I sit for kids ages 6 months to 17. I have my flu shot, am fully vaccinated and have my own transportation. Thanks so much for your interest and I look forward to hearing from you!

Khaliah C., Babysitter in Chicago, IL 60614 with 13 years of paid experience

Hello Parents, how are you all? I hope all is well, as of now I'm only available on Saturdays and Sundays only ( open availability is up for discussion). I do not accept last minute bookings, and we must have a phone interview followed by a in-person interview before requesting care from me. I ask all parents to give me at least a 48-72 hour notice before booking service. I share 13 beautiful years caring for children from Newborn-School age and I love working alongside parents helping to enhance their children cognitive, social, and emotional development. Reaching milestones using hands-on recreational and educational activities and building strong relationships to ensure a safe, fun, and comfortable work environment. A typical day for me once you reach out we will have a phone or video interview discussing important information regarding your child. I will also share with you some amazing experiences I have caring for children. After our phone discussion, I will then send over at least 2-3 professional references. If you decide I'm a good fit or will like to do a work trial, we will then set up a time and place to meet. Rather its at your home, where you will be showing me around giving me details such as your childs daily routine, showing me where bathrooms are, what area the children plays in the home the most, diaper changing areas, what to do and not to do in your home, any restrictioned areas, ect. If you prefer to have a in-person interview over phone or local places such as a Starbucks or dunkin donuts we can do that as well and no worries coffee and donuts on me! This is to ensure both parents and I are on the same page and children are comfortable and familiar with me. Once everything is set and stone you will then let me know the times you will need care. I will then confirm your request and keep you updated on my arrival time. I always arrive at least 15-30 mins early for all bookings request. I will then engae with children throughout the day, keeping a daily activity log, and send cute pictures and videos throughout the day to show how much fun your child or children are having. Understand I take my job very seriously so your children are in the best hands when under my care, so if you interested please reach out to me at (872)-288-2261. Thank you! Looking forward to meeting you and your family!

Khaliah helped us last minute when we really needed it. She was extremely sweet with our little boy, and very thoughtful and considerate while in our home. While our kiddo is in daycare and we don’t need regular support, I’m excited for the opportunity to have Khaliah watch our kiddo again!!

Sabrina S., Babysitter in Chicago, IL 60614 with 7 years of paid experience

Hello! Nice to meet you :) I’m Sabrina and I’m a childcare provider and professional contemporary dancer based in Chicago, IL! I’ve been working with children since 2018 and after graduating from New York University with a BFA in Dance and a minor in Business and Media in 2024, I’ve worked as a nanny, dance educator and after school care provider around the Chicagoland area. I have experience with children ages 6 weeks through 16 years, but specialize in early childhood education with children 6 months through 9 years old. In Chicago, I’ve worked for BASH Kids Club, an after care provider specializing in the arts, in addition to nannying and babysitting various children around the city. I've been a full time chaperone for The Joffrey Ballet's summer dance programs during the 2022 and 2023 summer sessions where over a three month period, I lived in a dormitory setting with students ranging from 9-22, helping them navigate the program and facilitate various activities and crafts. In New York, I acted as a nanny and personal assistant for a family in Brooklyn regularly on weekday mornings. I would get her children ready for the day, take them to school and then assist with daily household tasks such as laundry and dishes, errands, organization tasks and various small projects that needed to be completed. I also worked for a variety of families on an as-needed basis in the New York City area. I pride myself on being responsible, punctual and friendly and often complete various household tasks such as laundry, meal preparation and dishes. I'm all about making your life as a parent easier! I'd love to get to know you and your family and look forward to working with you soon. Best, Sabrina

Sabrina was punctual, communicative, and upbeat. She was able to quickly take charge of a child who was very upset about the transition and over the few hours they played quickly formed a bond. She quickly got down to my child's level, was attentive, cleaned up - and better than that my two year old wanted her to come back!

Janet M., Babysitter in Chicago, IL 60614 with 10 years of paid experience

Hello parents! My name is Janet, 32 years old, and bilingual. I speak fluent Spanish and English. I'm a dedicated and experienced nanny that moved back home to Chicago after living in Denver for four years. During my time in Denver, I had the wonderful opportunity to work as a live-in nanny for six months and also connected with several amazing families through trusted nanny and babysitting apps. For the past four years, I’ve worked consistently with three wonderful families, one long-term and two part-time, and I’m proud to share that all three are happy to serve as references. I’ve built strong, lasting relationships with each of them and feel honored to have been part of their children’s lives. Currently I am a nanny to a 19 month old and can share the child’s parents as a current reference and the families from Denver. I’m looking to help parents babysit for date nights or weekends. With over 10 years of experience, I am knowledgeable of the basic fundamental stages of child development. I've worked with infants and children up to middle school aged. I've prepared and arranged nutritious meals for children, bathed and dress children, supervised children’s activities in their own rooms, outside establishments, and play areas according to their age. I've also helped put children to sleep according to their schedules. I worked alongside a behavioral therapist with a past family to help regulate the toddler's behavior and help the child understand their emotions. I have also worked along with a speech therapist, as the child had a speech delay. My experience also involves being a live-in nanny, travel nanny, overnights , meal prep, cooking dinner for my previous family, and arranging a nanny share. I'm fully vaccinated and have proof of vaccination. I am alert of the child or children at all times. My job is to simply make your life a bit easier. Your child or children are your most precious resbonsibility, when entrusting their care and well being to someone other than yourself, be sure you have the very best. If you are interested in my services or have further questions, please don't hesitate to Dm me.

Janet is wonderful! She watched my 6 month old for the first time today and he loved her instantly and was all smiles. She did a great job with him and I appreciated that she confirmed the time the day before and was on time. I recommend Janet and will be asking her to babysit again!

Hi, I'm Natasha, a 23-year-old Chicago transplant (by way of New York and Colorado) with a genuine love for kids and a lot of experience caring for them. I currently work as a Teaching Assistant at Sacred Heart, where I help look after a classroom full of little ones every day. Wrangling a group of preschoolers has taught me a lot --- from how to keep kids engaged and having fun through crafts, games, and activities, to staying calm and attentive when everyone needs something at once. I love finding creative ways to make the day exciting for kids and am always ready with a backup plan when one activity runs its course! Beyond my work at Sacred Heart, I also have experience with middle and high school aged kids through tutoring, mentoring, and volunteering with community organizations around the Chicago area. I'm comfortable adapting to different ages, energy levels, and needs. I'm CPR and First Aid certified, patient, creative, and genuinely enthusiastic about spending time with kids. Whether we're doing a craft project, playing outside, reading stories, or just hanging out, I show up fully present and ready to make it a great experience. I'd love to connect and learn more about what you're looking for!
