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.

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 part time/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.

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!
