Hello Parents, how are you all? I hope all is well, as of now I'm only available on Saturdays and Sundays only ( open availability is up for discussion). I do not accept last minute bookings, and we must have a phone interview followed by a in-person interview before requesting care from me. I ask all parents to give me at least a 48-72 hour notice before booking service. I share 13 beautiful years caring for children from Newborn-School age and I love working alongside parents helping to enhance their children cognitive, social, and emotional development. Reaching milestones using hands-on recreational and educational activities and building strong relationships to ensure a safe, fun, and comfortable work environment. A typical day for me once you reach out we will have a phone or video interview discussing important information regarding your child. I will also share with you some amazing experiences I have caring for children. After our phone discussion, I will then send over at least 2-3 professional references. If you decide I'm a good fit or will like to do a work trial, we will then set up a time and place to meet. Rather its at your home, where you will be showing me around giving me details such as your childs daily routine, showing me where bathrooms are, what area the children plays in the home the most, diaper changing areas, what to do and not to do in your home, any restrictioned areas, ect. If you prefer to have a in-person interview over phone or local places such as a Starbucks or dunkin donuts we can do that as well and no worries coffee and donuts on me! This is to ensure both parents and I are on the same page and children are comfortable and familiar with me. Once everything is set and stone you will then let me know the times you will need care. I will then confirm your request and keep you updated on my arrival time. I always arrive at least 15-30 mins early for all bookings request. I will then engae with children throughout the day, keeping a daily activity log, and send cute pictures and videos throughout the day to show how much fun your child or children are having. Understand I take my job very seriously so your children are in the best hands when under my care, so if you interested please reach out to me at (872)-288-2261. Thank you! Looking forward to meeting you and your family!

Khaliah helped us last minute when we really needed it. She was extremely sweet with our little boy, and very thoughtful and considerate while in our home. While our kiddo is in daycare and we don’t need regular support, I’m excited for the opportunity to have Khaliah watch our kiddo again!!

Hello! My name is Rachel, and it would be an honor to babysit your children. With my 6 years of experience in a paid childcare setting and an additional 3 years unpaid babysitting for friends and family, I ensure your children will be in great hands. I also have a child of my own who is now nine years old, which gives me some parenting experience. I have plenty of involvement with assisting children to meet the appropriate developmental stages for their age. I have multiple outlets for learning activities including fine motor and large motor skills. When babysitting, I will sometimes bring a bag filled with some materials to help assist with games and crafts (with permission). Kids usually love my big imagination, that I love to sing, my sensory crafts, and my outdoor skills/activities. Some extra duties I am willing to help out with would include light household cleaning if time, parents, and children allow it, potty training, grocery pick-up, and meal prep. I currently nanny for a family in Frankfort but my last day working for them will be June 26. I’m currently looking for a part-time position, but I’m also interested in full-time for the right family!

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.

Leslie is all around fantastic. She is so personable, genuine, responsive, punctual - all the things you'd want in a babysitter. The first time we ever left our daughter with someone other than family/day care was with Leslie, and we were comfortable the evening we went out. Worth noting: we don't have a wifi enabled monitor and still felt at ease. She also assists with bottle washing, which is a major bonus. We're lucky to have connected with her!

Hi I'm Ryan, I've worked in daycare centers and summer camps. I graduated from South Suburban College. I've been in child care for about 12 years now, I've had 2 nanny jobs and several babysitter jobs. I started babysitting a lot at 20 because I got step family that gave me 8 little siblings and I had to babysit some of their friends mostly during the summers. I like to be very active with the kids with play time or taking them to play at the park, Coloring books or reading books with them. Always down to watch a movie or play games on the tablets with them if allowed. I also love going places if needed. A little about me, Play basketball at the parks, Volunteer at animal shelters when possible, Definitely like my video games. I would say I'm very punctual, Very patient and kids love me.

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!
