I love kids and welcome babysitting in the evenings and on weekends. I work full time during the week (so evenings/weekends are perfect for me!) I have babysat my entire live and was a nanny for 5 years. I've worked with numerous other Sittercity families and am always looking to grow with others! I have a lot of experience with children of all ages. I drive my own vehicle, live in Wicker Park/born and raised in Chicago, love pets, have amazing references, and am First Aid and CPR certified (Northwestern). I love kids - I love having them play and explore inside and outside the home. I love engaging them in new activities and motivating and challenging them to learn.

Hi! I’m an experienced, reliable babysitter with 10+ years of professional nanny experience and 2 years as a German Au Pair living with an American family. I’ve cared for children of all ages, from infants to school-aged, and I’m comfortable managing multiple kids at once. I can help with everything from diaper changes and bedtime routines to homework, meal prep, and fun activities. I’m calm, organized, and happy to tidy up so you can come home to a smooth, settled house. As a parent myself, I understand how important trust is. My goal is simple: happy kids and relaxed parents

I adore Mona. Our family has known her for about 5 years now. Our daughters are best friends (from ages 5 to 9 currently), and I am so glad for that. We trust Mona - she’s smart, caring, generous, thoughtful and intentional. She believes in teaching and allowing kids age appropriate independence. She recognizes and meets kids where they are but also has a lot of fun. Mona is reliable, responsible and a great communicator - she drives my kids to school and takes them on fun adventures. She is artistic, loves animals, enjoys the outdoors, loves to garden and cook, and is very involved and active in her daughter’s school. Finally, I witness and observe how Mona is raising her own daughter. Not only am I incredibly grateful that my kids get the benefit of Mona’s huge heart and genuine care, but I too have grown as a parent from knowing her.

Diana has 5/5 ratings from my me and my husband! Diana was extremely accommodating when we needed immediate childcare for our 1 and 3 y/o kids. She was timely, reliable and oh, so good to our kids! She kept them safe, healthy and happy, which is exactly what we needed. She cared for them I’m our home for a week and my 3/year old still asks when Diana is coming back to play with her. Thank you, Diana.

Kim has been a wonderful nanny. She is very caring and attentive to our daughter's needs, is kind and playful during her wake times, and soothing and calm during her nap times.

We are thrilled to share our experience with Ruth, who has been an exceptional caregiver for our toddler son. From the moment she joined us, she has consistently demonstrated professionalism, kindness, and a genuine love for children. Ruth has a remarkable ability to connect with kids, making them feel comfortable and valued. She engages them in creative and educational activities that not only entertain but also contribute to their development. Her patience and understanding are truly commendable, especially when handling the occasional tantrum or two. One of the things we appreciate most about Ruth is her reliability and punctuality. She has always been there when we needed her, often going above and beyond to accommodate our schedules. We will definitely recommend her services if you're looking for a nanny/sitter for your child.

Hi! My name is Bella. I am an occupational therapist working in schools. I have been babysitting since I was 14 years old and have a 10 year old kiddo. I absolutely LOVE children and try my best to ensure they get to live their best lives full of happiness, love, and their needs met! I value routines, but also encourage flexibility. I am looking for a summer job May- August. I am CPR and First Aid certified. I was also a lifeguard for 3 years and taught swim lessons before going into OT, so I am very comfortable around water safety.

Hello! My name is Katie, I love being a sitter for children & animal children. I work full time for a community college, so my availability is mostly nights and weekends. I started babysitting when I was 14 years old. The child I was recently sitting for moved, so I'm looking for new families now. I worked as a day camp counselor and taught various park district classes including sports, art, cooking, intro to preschool. I love playing outside, going to the park, doing crafts, coloring etc.

I found Katie through a local sitter site when looking for weekend care for my then one year old son after a prior sitter didn’t work out. I interviewed several candidates looking for someone special, as my little guy has a ton of energy and personality. Katie was the perfect fit for my son, and was great at being communicative throughout the day by sending photos and little updates and needed literally zero oversight. She planned activities and outings and made sure he had lots of fun. You can tell how much she genuinely enjoys spending time with little ones. If I hadn’t relocated she’d absolutely still be my first choice!

Hi! My name is Chloe Coss I am currently a senior at Prairie Ridge and I am 100% going to McHenry county college next year I plan on getting my associates in forensics and photography and moving to Orlando and becoming a crime scene investigator. I love children and I've worked around them since I was 13 years old I love going to the gym and I love being around my friends and family. I love being a sitter because I genuinely enjoy spending time with kids and helping them learn, grow, and have fun in a safe environment. I’ve been around children since I was 13, and I find it really rewarding to build connections with them and be someone they feel comfortable with. Whether it’s playing games, helping with routines, or just making them smile, it’s something I truly enjoy doing.I have several years of experience working with children of different ages. I babysat for a family with three kids (ages 3, 5, and 3 months), where I helped with daily care, playtime, and routines. I also worked at Jump Zone as a party host, where I supervised children and made sure they were safe while having fun. Most recently, I worked at 2 Hours of Freedom, where I continued supervising and interacting with kids in an active environment. These experiences helped me learn how to manage groups of children and adapt to different personalities and needs.I have strong communication and patience when working with children, and I’m good at staying calm and responsible in different situations. I’m experienced in supervising kids, keeping them safe, and creating fun activities for them. I’m also very reliable, organized, and comfortable handling multiple children at once. In addition, I stay active and energetic, which helps me keep up with kids and engage with them in a positive way.
