I am an energetic, friendly, caring sitter looking to find a part time or full time position near me. I live in the Logan Square neighborhood. I am a college graduate (BA in English, Minor in Spanish) and I have extensive experience working with children of all ages as a nanny and in Chicago Public Schools (I have worked for CPS as a Special Education Classroom Assistant as well as a Tutor/Mentor and as a Substitute Teacher). Let's schedule an interview to see if I am a good fit for your family! I became a caregiver because I love working with children - it is a rewarding job where you can help children and families with their day to day tasks and bring structure as well as fun to each day when you are at work.

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! Feel free to reach out with any questions.

Hi ! I'm a single mother to my daughter who just graduated from the Physician Assistant program at Marquette. Proud Mom here! I have over 20 years of babysitting and caregiving experience and am currently certified in Basic Life Support and First Aid.

Over the years, I've volunteered in my church's nursery, taught Sunday school for Pre-K and Kindergarten, and cared for my daughter/nieces/nephews, as well as babysitting for friends and neighbors. I started my career as a professional caregiver over 10 years ago, so I have experience with anyone from infants to teenagers to the elderly. For the past few years, I have worked as a medical assistant in a variety of healthcare settings. To me, caring for children is very rewarding and I love what I do. In my free time, I enjoy spending time with my family and my friends I am comfortable with pets. I have a reliable car and am able to help with homework, mealtimes, and light housekeeping. I value safe and fun experiences and love to incorporate learning into play and everyday activities. I Love making each day fun and kids smile. I'm a smiley bubbly positive person myself.
