I’m a responsible and caring caregiver with CPR/First Aid certification, a reliable car, and a strong educational background— I recently graduated from UIC. I value creating a safe, structured, and supportive environment where children can feel comfortable and confident. I’m patient, and attentive, and I take safety very seriously while also making sure kids feel seen and cared for. I’m happy to help with routines, school support, and keeping children engaged in a positive way. I can also provide references if requested

I love being a sitter because I like helping children and being a part of their development. I enjoy teaching them things in different areas like socially, emotionally, and academically if needed. I have beyond 20 years of experience with being a teacher and babysitter. I have 33 trainings from GateWay from CPR, food handler, First AID etc. As of right now I work at a daycare and I am looking for evenings from 4:15 PM during the week and a weekend job ( every time an available).

We had a wonderful experience with Vjollca! She took excellent care of our two boys, aged 7 and 2. Our younger one tends to be shy around new people, but he warmed up to her almost immediately — which says a lot! She was fantastic with their bedtime routine, kept the boys engaged and happy, and even tidied up before leaving. We couldn't have asked for a better sitter and would highly recommend her to any family looking for someone trustworthy and caring.

Olga is the best! My daughter lights up and started saying some of her first words- “olgi” being one of them! She’s very attentive and gives my daughter quality one on one time. She does bath time, washes bottles, feeds her etc! She also does occasional date nights too! Highly recommend.

I found Sandra on sittercity. My children will be going to school so I will no longer need her. Anyone would be lucky to snatch her up. She is easliy the best Nanny I have ever worked with! She is always on time, cheerful, tidy and wonderful with children! I cannot say enough about how kind and hardworking she is-she will be greatly missed!
