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!

I have experience as a babysitter for more than 6 years, the first baby was 1 year old, the second baby was 4 months old and the third baby was 6 months old; all my experiences were amazing, i really love babies 🥰 My first language is Spanish, so it will be a pleasure to teach your baby. I have not renewed my CPR certificate, but have been trained about 5 times. I have no problem working with pets. I would be so happy to provide references and meet you, i wish you all the best, good luck. God bless you and thank you for your time.

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!

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.

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!
