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.

Hi! I am a Chicago Native from a large Irish/German family! I have devoted 10+ years working with children ( 5 families) ages 8 wks - 4 years, including multiples and premature births. My experience working with young children allows me to put to use my Early Childhood Development (ECD) background through all the milestones -- establishing routines, sleep training (for those who utilize), potty training, baby sign language, etc. My relationship with your child will reinforce and amplify the love and exceptional level of care received from the parents. Enriching unending activities (tummy time, reading, walks, classes, art projects.) will fill our days because I believe in the importance of education and socialization. My in-depth experiences enable me adapt to a variety of child rearing styles, which I implement based on your preference along with the best interest of the child. I'm adept at handling miscellaneous tasks ( dishes, laundry, preparing homemade baby food, etc.), and keeping a log of daily activities ( via live App). I am the ideal hands-on, energetic, and reliable nanny with excellent recommendation/references! I’m looking for occasional gigs and a part-time position with an infant!

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! Feel free to reach out with any questions.

Hi! My name is Miranda, and I’ve had several years of childcare experience in a variety of settings. During college, I worked as a nanny for an infant for about a year and a half, which gave me hands-on experience with feeding, changing, naptime routines, and developmental play. After graduation, I spent time in Paris working as an au pair, where I cared for two young children and helped with their daily routines, school pickups, meals, and language development. In addition to those roles, I’ve also worked as a summer camp counselor and a substitute teacher, giving me experience with children of all ages. I’m CPR and First Aid certified and have completed a child safety course. My background in psychology and community work has helped me develop a calm, patient, and supportive approach to childcare. I love creating a fun, safe, and structured environment where kids can learn, grow, and feel cared for.

I have many years of experience with children in a wide range of settings, including many years of babysitting for families in their homes, working as a summer camp counselor, as an assistant teacher in a daycare, and volunteering in two elementary schools. I raised my own son and I occasionally watch my 4 and 6 year old grandsons. In the past year and a half I have watched a 2.5 year old boy, an infant girl from age 3 to 6 months, a baby boy from 7 to 10 months, and an 8 year old girl. I completed a pediatric first aid and CPR class in November 2023. When I am watching children I do not use my cell phone (other than in case of emergency or if I need to schedule an appointment) as I want to give the kids my undivided attention. I especially enjoy reading to children, doing art projects together, and taking nature walks. I am very energetic, and on days when I am not babysitting, I typically take 4 - 5 mile walks along the lake. I am very happy to provide professional and personal references. Among the parents from whom I can provide references are a neonatologist, a professor of psychology, a nurse, and an elementary schoolteacher. As a caregiver, I am highly reliable, kind, warm, and fun. I love both kids and dogs. My schedule is typically very flexible, and I can often make myself available for last-minute requests. Thank you. Rosanne
