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.

Hi there! I’m an experienced nanny with a genuine passion for helping children learn, grow, and thrive. I’m a kid at heart, so I bring warmth, enthusiasm, creativity, and plenty of energy into every day while creating a safe and nurturing environment. My journey working with children began in 2016 as a special needs swim coach, where I developed the patience, empathy, and adaptability that continue to guide my approach to caring for children today. Since then, I’ve gained experience caring for infants, twins, toddlers, preschool-aged, and elementary-aged children, including nanny share settings and families with multiple young children. I love planning engaging activities that support developmental milestones through reading, outdoor adventures, sensory play, music, and hands-on learning. I’m also proactive, dependable, and enjoy helping families by staying organized and pitching in wherever I can. I’m looking for a family where communication, kindness, and teamwork are valued. My goal is to become a trusted teammate to parents while providing children with a loving, enriching environment where they can feel confident, curious, and deeply cared for.

Micaela was our nanny for about a year and a half, caring for our three young boys, ages 5, 3, and 2. She initially joined our family as a temporary nanny while we were transitioning between childcare arrangements, but we quickly grew to love her so much that we brought her on full time. She is truly one of the kindest, most hardworking, respectful, and genuinely caring people I have ever met. The only reason we stopped using her was because I made the decision to stay home full time with our children. Even now, we continue to stay in touch with her because she became such an important part of our family. Professionally, Micaela was exceptional. She was consistently reliable and never once arrived late. Every day, she showed up with enthusiasm, patience, and genuine joy for caring for our energetic boys. She handled challenging situations with a calm and steady presence, always bringing warmth and positivity into our home. I never once questioned her ability to manage whatever the day brought, and she was always flexible and accommodating whenever unexpected work situations came up for us. We love Micaela dearly and truly cannot recommend her highly enough. Any family would be incredibly lucky to have her.

Hey there parents! I am only available as a 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!

Pitchaya is very considerate and passionate. To be honest, we never met for an official baby-sitting or nanny job. We just had some chats beforehand. She gave me the impression of a person who always care from other's perspective. For example, when asked whether vaccinated for TDAP, she said no. But afterwards she did her research for the vaccine and followed up with my saying that she was willing to get the TDAP if that is required. Also, Pitchaya is very considerate for her former employers. She puts their benefits and welfare in front of other things. Also, she is on top of everything, she sent documents/proofs in a very timely fashion, reflecting a detail-oriented and organized way of doing things. Although we didn't have a chance to start an official contract due to some logistic issues, I truly believe she is a treasure that will surely surpass the bar and achieve more in the work.

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~
