I love kids and welcome babysitting in the evenings and on weekends. I work full time during the week (so evenings/weekends are perfect for me!)

I drive my own vehicle, live in Wicker Park/born and raised in Chicago, love pets, have amazing references, and am First Aid and CPR certified (Northwestern). I love kids - I love having them play and explore inside and outside the home. I love engaging them in new activities and motivating and challenging them to learn.

Mona J., Babysitter in Elgin, IL 60120 with 15 years of paid experience

Hi! I’m an experienced, reliable babysitter with 10+ years of professional nanny experience and 2 years as a German Au Pair living with an American family. I’ve cared for children of all ages, from infants to school-aged, and I’m comfortable managing multiple kids at once. I can help with everything from diaper changes and bedtime routines to homework, meal prep, and fun activities. I’m calm, organized, and happy to tidy up so you can come home to a smooth, settled house. As a parent myself, I understand how important trust is. My goal is simple: happy kids and relaxed parents

Zaina H., Babysitter in Elgin, IL 60120 with 7 years of paid experience

Hello and thank you for taking the time to get to know me! My name is Zaina, and I’m an experienced, nurturing, and dedicated childcare provider with a true passion for supporting children’s growth and development. My journey in early childhood education began in high school, where I completed a certified Early Childhood Education program. This foundational experience sparked my love for working with children and led me to begin babysitting and nannying for families with children ranging from infants to 12 years old. Over the years, I’ve worked in a wide variety of childcare settings, including homes, preschools, and after-school programs. I spent three years as an educator and program manager at an elementary school, where I created and implemented engaging daily lesson plans and activities tailored to each child's needs. My approach blends structure with creativity to foster a safe, fun, and educational environment. I’m also experienced in household management and understand how to keep a home running smoothly while ensuring children are happy and well cared for. Currently, I’m pursuing a degree in nursing, which has further deepened my knowledge of child health and development. I’m certified in both infant and child CPR and BLS (Basic Life Support), and I bring a calm, attentive presence to every role I take on. In my spare time, I enjoy reading, staying active, and continuously learning new ways to better support the children in my care. I would love the opportunity to bring my experience, energy, and dedication to a family who values compassionate, reliable care.
