I’m a responsible and caring caregiver with CPR/First Aid certification, a reliable car, and a strong educational background— I recently graduated from UIC. I value creating a safe, structured, and supportive environment where children can feel comfortable and confident. I’m patient, and attentive, and I take safety very seriously while also making sure kids feel seen and cared for. I’m happy to help with routines, school support, and keeping children engaged in a positive way. I can also provide references if requested

My name is Felice, and I would like to be considered for your evening or weekend childcare needs. If you can, please take a look at my recommendations so you can see what other parents say about me. I am an experienced, non-smoking sitter. Vaccines up to date, including COVID (plus current booster), annual flu shot and whooping cough. A life-long Chicago and Chicago-area resident, I have been a paid sitter since I was a teen, have three children of my own, am the eldest of six siblings and was a Girl Scout leader in Rogers Park/Skokie for 10 years (was CPR/first aid certified annually during this time). In my capacity as a GS Leader, I was trusted the care of numerous children on a bi-weekly basis, overnight camping weekends and international travel. I am punctual, patient, and genuinely enjoy caring for children. I am an active person, having participated in a Ragnar 200+ mile relay race, and continue to run 10k and half marathon events regularly. I am completely comfortable with infants, toddlers and school age children, as well as multiple siblings. For several years, I was registered/certified with the state to be a respite caregiver for children on the autism spectrum. I have a commitment with another family on Sunday mornings, but am otherwise available weeknights and weekends day/evening/night. I am art-enthusiast, knitter, runner and solver of problems; happy to give you access to my social media so you can get to know me better in advance. I take caring for your child/children seriously, and also that of our working relationship! Bookings agree to these terms: Mon-Thurs minimum hours paid is 2.5 hrs. Friday/Saturday/Sunday minimum hours paid is 4 hours. Booking is payable for agreed upon duration even if you come home early. Late arrivals after agreed upon time is 1.5X the agreed upon rate.

I would recommend Felice for any household care needs. We have a special, unique household, and Felice came in and did not miss a beat. Felice’s calm yet engaging personality was a perfect fit for our family. She is responsible, understanding and has a great attitude as a caregiver. I highly recommend her!

Olga is the best! My daughter lights up and started saying some of her first words- “olgi” being one of them! She’s very attentive and gives my daughter quality one on one time. She does bath time, washes bottles, feeds her etc! She also does occasional date nights too! Highly recommend.
