Hello! I live in Chicago and have a full-time job during the week as a Delivery Consultant for a software company. I don't have any children of my own, but love being around children of all ages watching them react to new things and explore the world. I consider myself to be optimistic, friendly, energetic, creative, and firm when necessary. Outside of my full time job, I avoid screen time as much as possible. I much prefer to be out doing new things - love the arts, baking/cooking, and being active. I babysat regularly in high school and college - ages from infant to elementary. While in high school I volunteered at a local fitness center in the day care center, caring for children as their parents used the gym. I participated in Big Brothers/Big Sisters in college and enjoyed mentoring children in underserved communities. I have three young nieces and a nephew that live out of state. I don't get to see them as often as I would like, so I cherish my time with them and enjoy spoiling them as much as I can! I am generally available after 5pm on weekday evenings and anytime on weekends. I have a car and live in the South Loop neighborhood.

Hello! My name is Jessie. I graduated with a Bachelor's degree in Psychology from UIC. I am also an occupational therapy practitioner and certified respite care provider. I love to work with children. I currently am working at a therapeutic clinic for children with developmental disabilities. The clients I work with are from the ages 0-27 years of age. I am a fun and outgoing person who likes to engage children in learning. While babysitting I always will do something educational to ensure they are learning but still having fun. It is helpful if children tell me what they like for activities so I can incorporate their hobbies into our time together. I enjoy music, cooking, and cleaning. I am a very organized and detailed person. Being patient is one of my good traits. Contact me if you need a responsible and caring babysitter/ respite care porvider. Available for date nights, weekends or part-time.

Hello! My name is Alexzandrea, and I’m excited to offer my babysitting services to families in need. With 9 years of experience in the education field and 7 years of babysitting on and off, I bring a well-rounded background of skills to ensure your child is cared for and engaged in a safe, nurturing environment. I’m a proud breast cancer survivor, and this journey has made me even more passionate about life and making meaningful connections. Recently, I was laid off from my position at Chicago Public Schools, and I’m looking to dedicate my time to helping children in new ways. As a parent of a child with ADHD, I have a deep understanding of how to manage different behavioral needs and create personalized strategies for each child to thrive. I believe in fostering a positive, supportive, and fun environment, where kids feel heard and loved. I also have my own reliable car, so transportation is never an issue if you need me to pick up or drop off your child. I truly love working with kids of all ages, and my goal is always to make each child feel safe, respected, and excited to spend time with me. I look forward to meeting you and your little ones!

Up to date on vaccines and CPR training. Willing to show proof. Available for daycare in my smoke-free, safety conscious home in Niles. I am available Monday through Friday 8a-12p, for weekly guaranteed hours or as needed basis. I choose to keep my daycare small for quality of care, cleanliness, and focused learning through play. At this time, I have a 1:2 adult to child ratio with one spot available. My home has every gate and I would love to give you a tour! I have owned and operated my home daycare in Niles since 2021. Worked as a Professional Nanny/Personal Assistant in the North Shore for the previous 10 years. Worked as a Professional Nanny for 10 years prior in Lincoln Park. Completed a Level 3 Credential in a Child Development program through the State in 2018. As a Daycare Provider I love to plan constructive activities, arts and crafts projects, backyard adventures- both fun and educational. Enjoy teaching a variety of subjects including reading, math, and milestone learning. Milestone learning programs are specifically customized and depend on the child’s age, personal growth, and development. My plethora of references can attest to the way children connect and feel comfortable with me. Please reach out for an application. I hope to hear from you!
