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 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!

Hello, my name is Missy. I am the proud mother of an 19 year-old son who is on the autism spectrum. I have 35 years of experience in the childcare field. I was a nanny for a family of three for seven years. The ages of the children when I started ranged from newborn to 7 years old. I then had my own childcare business that I ran from my home. I have experience caring for twins as well as children of various ages. Because my son is on the autism spectrum, I also have experience caring for children with special needs. One of my strengths is that I have a lot of patience. I'm a writer and performer and love being creative. I was a top rated sitter for Chime by Sittercity. I continue to work with many of the families I met through Chime. I can provide a current background check if needed.

Shengsi L.
Pitchaya is very considerate and passionate. To be honest, we never met for an official baby-sitting or nanny job. We just had some chats beforehand. She gave me the impression of a person who always care from other's perspective. For example, when asked whether vaccinated for TDAP, she said no. But afterwards she did her research for the vaccine and followed up with my saying that she was willing to get the TDAP if that is required. Also, Pitchaya is very considerate for her former employers. She puts their benefits and welfare in front of other things. Also, she is on top of everything, she sent documents/proofs in a very timely fashion, reflecting a detail-oriented and organized way of doing things. Although we didn't have a chance to start an official contract due to some logistic issues, I truly believe she is a treasure that will surely surpass the bar and achieve more in the work.

Hi! I’m a warm, dependable, patient, and attentive caregiver who enjoys creating a safe and positive environment for children. I first gained childcare experience working at a daycare when I was 17, where I had the opportunity to care for and interact with children in a structured setting. That experience helped me develop patience, responsibility, and an understanding of how important it is to keep children safe, engaged, and comfortable. I am open to meeting prior before picking me to be your babysitter!! Zoom call can be arranged as well ❤️ I enjoy keeping children engaged through age-appropriate play, activities, reading, homework help, and creative time. I’m also comfortable helping with meals, tidying up after the children, and following parents’ instructions and household routines. I’m reliable, organized, easy to communicate with, and committed to providing caring and respectful support to every family I work with. I look forward to meeting you and your little ones!

Hello, families! My name is Rebecca and I come with over 30 years of nanny/sitter experience. I've worked with children of every age; fresh from the delivery room, up to high school. The first few years are my favorite, but I love children at every age. I have helped raise over 10 babies. The oldest is now 28 and an amazing human, and friend. I am also celebrating 17 years with a three boy family in Evanston. I live in the north/north/east part of the city and I am hoping to find a family in the area. I'm looking for a fun family that I can help share childcare responsibilities with. I work as a team member and an extension of you. This is a very important relationship that takes communication and care. We need to be on the same page when it comes to routine and guidance/discipline. Consistency is vital if we want to keep children feeling safe and secure. I am extremely flexible when it comes to days and times. I prefer to work no more than four days a week, but I can make occasional exceptions. Let's chat on the phone and see if we feel like setting up an in-person interview. I'll leave you with a few words that describe me: fun, funny, kind, honest, dedicated, silly, firm, open, patient, helpful, and considerate. That's me! If you shoot me a message, I'll send you my phone number and then we can text/call right away. Good luck on your childcare search! Live long and prosper and May The Force be with you, ~Rebecca~

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!
