I have worked as a babysitter since I was in high school and during my holiday breaks from medical school when I’m back in town. I have multiple years of experience and babysat kids all different ages. As well, in the past I was a swim instructor for kids. I enjoy working with kids, I am patient and manage to have good contact with them. Right now I'm studying medical school in Europe, I’m on my 4th year out of 6 years. Through this I know CPR and first aid as well.

Jasmine I., Child Care in Elmhurst, IL 60126 with 10 years of paid experience

Hello! My name is Jasmine Izaguirre. In the classroom, I go by Ms. I. During the school year I am employed as a CPS special education teacher in Albany Park. For the summer, I am interested in working with families for the month of July 2026. I first joined Sittercity in 2016 but have taken on a nurturing role since a very early age while growing up in a large family with many small children. I have been CPR certified and have experience working in family homes with children ranging from newborn to 12 years of age. I value the importance of education and am fascinated by how individuals grow and learn. I take pride in playing a role in child development and enjoy incorporating high leverage practices into daily routines. I am passionate about tailoring care to your individual child's needs, and can assure your child will receive great care under my supervision. If you have any questions, I would love to hear from you!

I also have experience driving a middle school student from Mathnasium to his home twice a week.

Mackenzie helped out with our 4 year old and 2 year old this summer after we welcomed a new baby. The ‘big’ kids loved her and she helped out with the baby too. She was super helpful and I honestly don’t think I could have gotten through the first postpartum weeks without her assistance in the afternoons! Highly recommend!!

Sadie R., Child Care in Elmhurst, IL 60126 with 22 years of paid experience

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!

Sabrina S., Child Care in Elmhurst, IL 60126 with 7 years of paid experience

Hello! Nice to meet you :) I’m Sabrina and I’m a childcare provider and professional contemporary dancer based in Chicago, IL! I’ve been working with children since 2018 and after graduating from New York University with a BFA in Dance and a minor in Business and Media in 2024, I’ve worked as a nanny, dance educator and after school care provider around the Chicagoland area. I have experience with children ages 6 weeks through 16 years, but specialize in early childhood education with children 6 months through 9 years old. In Chicago, I’ve worked for BASH Kids Club, an after care provider specializing in the arts, in addition to nannying and babysitting various children around the city. I've been a full time chaperone for The Joffrey Ballet's summer dance programs during the 2022 and 2023 summer sessions where over a three month period, I lived in a dormitory setting with students ranging from 9-22, helping them navigate the program and facilitate various activities and crafts. In New York, I acted as a nanny and personal assistant for a family in Brooklyn regularly on weekday mornings. I would get her children ready for the day, take them to school and then assist with daily household tasks such as laundry and dishes, errands, organization tasks and various small projects that needed to be completed. I also worked for a variety of families on an as-needed basis in the New York City area. I pride myself on being responsible, punctual and friendly and often complete various household tasks such as laundry, meal preparation and dishes. I'm all about making your life as a parent easier! I'd love to get to know you and your family and look forward to working with you soon. Best, Sabrina

Sabrina was punctual, communicative, and upbeat. She was able to quickly take charge of a child who was very upset about the transition and over the few hours they played quickly formed a bond. She quickly got down to my child's level, was attentive, cleaned up - and better than that my two year old wanted her to come back!

Sherry D., Child Care in Elmhurst, IL 60126 with 10 years of paid experience

I have been a stay at home Mom for our boy's entire lives. They are now grown men, and I have become a Grandma. I really enjoy care giving whether for the very young or the elderly. I am a Christian, non smoking, first aid trained, very experienced babysitter. I have been a nanny for ten years. I have my own transportation, and can provide pick up after school. I am very reliable, punctual and flexible if needs arise. I am also a Stephen Minister with even more training in care and communication. Please allow me to give fun and careful care in your absence, so that you may be able to rest easy and not be concerned about the home front while you are away. I can be available M-F in your home. Currently, looking for a part time Nanny position for the 26/27 school year. I enjoyed giving care to a four and five year old active brothers during the 17/18, 18/19, 19/20, 20/21, and 21/22 school years. At that point they no longer needed after school care. This involved transportation to/from the grade school as well as transportation to/from the preK where the four year old was enrolled daily. We had a lot of fun together. In (2016-17) I cared for 2 elementary age sisters before and after school. Since their Mom is a teacher, she is home with them for the summer. The school year before that (15/16), I worked for a family with a 4th grade daughter and a 7th grade son. I have enjoyed becoming a part of their family. I am finding that I am in need of more than the 10.5 hours this dear family can give me. The previous year (14/15), I enjoyed caring for a 5th grade boy. The following fall he was being bused to his Jr. high and no longer needed a caregiver as he had older siblings. Would love to hear from you ASAP if you are in need of reliable, on time, transportation provider, and nurturing care giving for your children after school in the 203 Naperville district. My neighborhood elementary school is Steeple Run, so that is obviously my preference. Would prefer to stay in District 203.

Sherry cared for our 11 year old son before and after school this year. She was kind, reliable and gentle spirited. She was flexible too! She provided routine and safe transportation. We would highly recommend Sherry.

Abilyn P., Child Care in Elmhurst, IL 60126 with 10 years of paid experience

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!
