My name is Felice, and I would like to be considered for your evening or weekend childcare needs. If you can, please take a look at my recommendations so you can see what other parents say about me. I am an experienced, non-smoking sitter. Vaccines up to date, including COVID (plus current booster), annual flu shot and whooping cough. A life-long Chicago and Chicago-area resident, I have been a paid sitter since I was a teen, have three children of my own, am the eldest of six siblings and was a Girl Scout leader in Rogers Park/Skokie for 10 years (was CPR/first aid certified annually during this time). In my capacity as a GS Leader, I was trusted the care of numerous children on a bi-weekly basis, overnight camping weekends and international travel. I am punctual, patient, and genuinely enjoy caring for children. I am an active person, having participated in a Ragnar 200+ mile relay race, and continue to run 10k and half marathon events regularly. I am completely comfortable with infants, toddlers and school age children, as well as multiple siblings. For several years, I was registered/certified with the state to be a respite caregiver for children on the autism spectrum. I have a commitment with another family on Sunday mornings, but am otherwise available weeknights and weekends day/evening/night. I am art-enthusiast, knitter, runner and solver of problems; happy to give you access to my social media so you can get to know me better in advance. I take caring for your child/children seriously, and also that of our working relationship! Bookings agree to these terms: Mon-Thurs minimum hours paid is 2.5 hrs. Friday/Saturday/Sunday minimum hours paid is 4 hours. Booking is payable for agreed upon duration even if you come home early. Late arrivals after agreed upon time is 1.5X the agreed upon rate.

I would recommend Felice for any household care needs. We have a special, unique household, and Felice came in and did not miss a beat. Felice’s calm yet engaging personality was a perfect fit for our family. She is responsible, understanding and has a great attitude as a caregiver. I highly recommend her!

Ready to experience the best babysitter that your kids will be disappointed you came home? Hello, I am interested in becoming a babysitter for you! My name is Tenia. I have been working with children and adolescents my entire life, and have been working on Sittercity for a few years now, and have been working with the same families for 2-3 years as well. Working with children is my passion, whether it is therapeutic or fun! I don’t have any children of my own so looking over other families' children fills my baby/kid fever! I treat all children as if they were my own and I love watching them grow each day! You will not have to worry about leaving your children in my care! I strive to make sure both you as the parent and your children are comfortable so you can have peace while you are away from your kiddos! I am currently CPR-certified and will provide documentation if needed. I can drive children to activities, watch children at your home, watch children at my home, help with homework, prepare meals, and teach healthy skills. I have been babysitting for many years and these rates are based on my experience and quality of work! However, I am open to discussing prices! I am easygoing and welcome communication of any sorts! I believe all parents should be able to have access to babysitting care. I look forward to working with you and your kiddos! If you are happy with my services, please leave a review! :) If you are not happy, let’s talk! I am very open to feedback and criticism! I have a family that you can contact as a reference if needed! :)

We were looking for someone to pick up our little one from daycare and watch him until one of us got home a few times a month. Tenia was great! she was on time for every pick up, made sure he got home safe, made sure he was comfortable when he got home, and checked in with us at each step to ensure we were aware of where she was. Highly recommend and would be connecting with her again for future date nights/pickups as well!

Hi! My name is Jessica, and I'd be delighted to work as your caregiver! I recently moved back to Florida to be closer to family permanently. I have years of experience working at Montessori schools and as both a part-time and full-time nanny with children from infants to young adults. I am certified by the American Heart Association Basic Life Support (CPR and AED) Program. From 2013-2014, I worked as a full-time caregiver with a 2.5 - 3-year-old, and as a part-time caregiver with a child from when she was 16 - 24 months, in addition to her brother who was a newborn. From 2018-2019, I worked part-time as a nanny with an infant from when he was a newborn = 6 months old. From 2023-2024, I took care of another infant from when she was 1 - 8 months old, part-time. From 2025-2026, I also worked part-time as a caregiver with an infant from when she was a newborn - 8 months. In 2024, I earned my PhD in English from Northwestern University and taught as an Adjunct Professor of English at St. Xavier University in Chicago, IL throughout last semester. In 2011, I graduated from Cornell Universtiy, where I double-majored in English and Spanish, so I thoroughly enjoy reading and would be happy to promote a creative, literary environment. In addition, I am a big fan of the outdoors and sports, so I'd be happy to engage interatively, as a caregiver, as well! I truly enjoy working with children, and I would love to help in any way I can. I am a non-smoker and very responsible. Please feel free to message me here. Thank you, Jessica

Jessica is an absolute treasure! Not only was she extremely knowledgeable about newborn/infant care she was incredibly receptive to our care plan and took direction with the highest level of respect and understanding. Another aspect that my wife and I appreciated about Jessica was her communication and punctuality. We were sad to move cities for work otherwise, we would have continued to employ her! 10/10

Katie was able to fill-in at the last minute when our other sitter called-in sick. She arrived early, listened attentively and I came home to a cleaner house than the one I left. She was great and our son keeps talking about Katie!

Archana S. provided excellent care for our children. We have a 2 year old and a nearly 4 year old, and Archana has given care for both at once, and one-on-one. She is thorough, dependable, thoughtful and - above all - fun! The kids really enjoyed having her as a caregiver. I will hire her again, and recommend her to you and your children without reservation!
