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.

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.

For as long as I can remember, I've enjoyed working with children. I've been a nanny for this wonderful family living in Chicago. These past two years working with their little boy I will always cherish. I already miss being able to see his sweet face every day. They were incredibly understanding that I was ready for a change in my life. I decided to make the move to California. It turns out I will be coming back to Chicago sooner than expected. I'm glad I gave Los Angeles a chance but my heart is in another place. Between the unsettling cost of living and all the natural disasters, I've come to terms with the fact that it's just not where I want to be. I'm so fortunate to have a job I truly enjoy and look forward to each day. Every day is full of smiles, love and laughter. Prior to nannying, I worked in Early Childhood at the JCC (Jewish Community Center) as a preschool teacher for 3 years. One of the best parts was getting to spark a child's curiosity while exploring all the wonders this world has to offer in a multitude of different ways. Being able to foster a child's growth and development at such a young age is incredible. The best thing about being a nanny is all the love you receive each day. It is so rewarding to build that special bond with a child. My last nanny kid was 3.5 years old. I have experience with all age groups; ranging from infants to 6 with 1-2 years of infant experience. I worked in the infant room for a year and also nannied for a friends baby girl while she went to school. Patience really is a virtue and that is one thing I have plenty of. My optimism and easy going attitude enables me to build and sustain positive relationships. I will have a full-time job working as a nanny during the weekdays but I will be available Friday nights, Saturday and Sunday if you're looking for a reliable babysitter.

Marta has been our son's nanny for the last two years. She is absolutely amazing! If we could give 10 stars, we would. She is incredibly creative, loving, and engaging - she truly loves being around children, playing with them, and helping them grow and learn. Our son looked forward to seeing her every day. And all of his friends were so jealous that Marta was his nanny - they love her so much. She is really brilliant at what she does. Beyond simple caregiving activities, she created curriculum with him, engaged in science experiments, did cooking projects, and took him all over the city to child-centered activities (when that was possible). We're going to miss Marta, but it's exciting to know that a family in LA will get to work with such an incredible person. If you want a full reference, we are happy to provide one.

I’m a reliable, nurturing, and dedicated nanny with over 10 years of hands-on childcare experience. I’ve worked with children of all ages, including infants, and truly love creating a safe, engaging, and loving environment where kids can grow and feel understood. I take pride in making everyday moments special—whether that’s planning fun outdoor activities, crafts, or simply being present and attentive to each child’s unique needs. My current long-term position is coming to an end as the youngest child is starting kindergarten, and I’m now looking for a full-time summer role with the hope of continuing into a long-term position with the right family. I value strong communication, mutual respect, and becoming a supportive, dependable part of a family’s daily life. I love being outside, staying active, and encouraging creativity and curiosity in children. I can also provide strong references from families I’ve worked closely with over the years. I’m reliable, nurturing, and genuinely love being around kids. Whether it’s arts and crafts, outdoor adventures, or playdates, I try to make the most out of each experience. I’m also comfortable with light housekeeping related to the kids, and managing routines/activities. If you’re looking for someone dependable and experienced to jump in a few days a week this summer, I’d love to connect!!! ☺️☀️

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!
