Hi I'm Ryan, I've worked in daycare centers and summer camps. I graduated from South Suburban College. I've been in child care for about 12 years now, I've had 2 nanny jobs and several babysitter jobs. I started babysitting a lot at 20 because I got step family that gave me 8 little siblings and I had to babysit some of their friends mostly during the summers. I like to be very active with the kids with play time or taking them to play at the park, Coloring books or reading books with them. Always down to watch a movie or play games on the tablets with them if allowed. I also love going places if needed. A little about me, Play basketball at the parks, Volunteer at animal shelters when possible, Definitely like my video games. I would say I'm very punctual, Very patient and kids love me.

Hello! I live in Chicago and have a full-time job during the week as a Delivery Consultant for a software company. I don't have any children of my own, but love being around children of all ages watching them react to new things and explore the world. I consider myself to be optimistic, friendly, energetic, creative, and firm when necessary. Outside of my full time job, I avoid screen time as much as possible. I much prefer to be out doing new things - love the arts, baking/cooking, and being active. I babysat regularly in high school and college - ages from infant to elementary. While in high school I volunteered at a local fitness center in the day care center, caring for children as their parents used the gym. I participated in Big Brothers/Big Sisters in college and enjoyed mentoring children in underserved communities. I have three young nieces and a nephew that live out of state. I don't get to see them as often as I would like, so I cherish my time with them and enjoy spoiling them as much as I can! I am generally available after 5pm on weekday evenings and anytime on weekends. I have a car and live in the South Loop neighborhood.

Hello! My name is Rachel, and it would be an honor to babysit your children. With my 6 years of experience in a paid childcare setting and an additional 3 years unpaid babysitting for friends and family, I ensure your children will be in great hands. I also have a child of my own who is now nine years old, which gives me some parenting experience. I have plenty of involvement with assisting children to meet the appropriate developmental stages for their age. I have multiple outlets for learning activities including fine motor and large motor skills. When babysitting, I will sometimes bring a bag filled with some materials to help assist with games and crafts (with permission). Kids usually love my big imagination, that I love to sing, my sensory crafts, and my outdoor skills/activities. Some extra duties I am willing to help out with would include light household cleaning if time, parents, and children allow it, potty training, grocery pick-up, and meal prep. I currently nanny for a family in Frankfort but my last day working for them will be June 26. I’m currently looking for a part-time position, but I’m also interested in full-time for the right family!

Hi, I'm Maria, I've been working with child care for more than 10 years, I have experience with all ages and also with multiple children. I describe myself as loving, affectionate, friendly, flexible and above all very responsible.

I’m an experienced babysitter and nanny with over 10 years of hands on childcare experience, caring for children from infants through school age. I’ve supported families in both full-time roles and occasional date night and weekend care, and I’m comfortable stepping in seamlessly so parents can head out feeling confident. I’m calm, reliable, and attentive, with a strong focus on safety, routines, and keeping children happily engaged through age appropriate play, reading, and creative activities. I’m especially comfortable with bedtime routines, multiple children, and maintaining a smooth, peaceful evening. I’m CPR and First Aid certified, with training in child development and early childhood education principles. I value clear communication, respect family preferences, and aim to provide thoughtful, dependable care that feels easy and reassuring for both children and parents. Families often describe me as trustworthy, punctual, and easy to work with, and I take pride in creating a warm, safe environment where children feel comfortable and parents feel at ease.

‼️PLEASE READ BIO‼️ I hope all is well, as of now, I'm only available on Saturdays and Sundays only ( open availability is up for discussion). I do not accept last minute bookings, and we must have a phone interview followed by an in-person interview before requesting care from me. I ask all parents to give me at least a 48-72 hour notice before booking service. I share 13 beautiful years caring for children from Newborn-School age and I love working alongside parents helping to enhance their children cognitive, social, and emotional development. Reaching milestones, using hands-on recreational and educational activities and building strong relationships to ensure a safe, fun, and comfortable work environment. A typical day for me once you reach out we will have a phone or video interview discussing important information regarding your child. I will also share with you some amazing experiences I've had caring for children. After our phone discussion, I will then send over at least 2-3 professional references. If you decide I'm a good fit or will like to do a work trial, we will then set up a time and place to meet. Rather its at your home, where you will be showing me around giving me details such as your childs daily routine, showing me where bathrooms are, what area the children plays in the home the most, diaper changing areas, what to do and not to do in your home, any restrictioned areas, ect. If you prefer to have a in-person interview over phone or local places such as a Starbucks or dunkin donuts we can do that as well and no worries coffee and donuts on me! This is to ensure both parents and I are on the same page and children are comfortable and familiar with me. Once everything is set and stone you will then let me know the times you will need care. I will then confirm your request and keep you updated on my arrival time. I always arrive at least 15-30 mins early for all bookings request. I will then engage with children throughout the day, keeping a daily activity log, and send cute pictures and videos throughout the day to show how much fun your child or children are having. Understand I take my job very seriously so your children are in the best hands when under my care, so if you're interested please reach out to me at (872)-288-2261. Thank you!

Hi! My name is Leti, I am 35yrs old, and have been providing childcare for the past 15+ years. I am a native Chicagoan currently seeking opportunities to babysit in my free time (evenings & weekends). I am well-versed in traveling around the city and exploring all that it has to offer! I come from a large family with two sets of multiples (I'm a triplet)! And I've always enjoyed spending time with children of all ages (from infant to elementary-aged). I've worked as a babysitter/nanny, helped with light housekeeping/cleaning, and as a tutor for K-2 graders. I also have experience caring for multiple children (up to 5). I highly value communication and enjoy building long-term relationships with the families I work with. I look forward to meeting you and your family soon!

I love working with infant and toddler children. I have cpr and first aid training. I have a CDA in infants and toddlers. I have worked professionally in a childcare setting for the past 6 years.

Hi, I'm Michele! I'm getting married in May 2027 and am looking for a small part-time opportunity doing something I genuinely love in addition to my full-time work. I've been a clinical mental health therapist for the past 11 years and currently work full-time Tuesday through Friday. Before becoming a therapist, I spent over 10 years working in childcare, including several years as a full-time nanny. During that time, I worked with seven wonderful families, four of which were nanny shares, caring for children of all ages. With an Associate Degree in Early Childhood Education, extensive nanny experience, and over a decade as a therapist, I also bring 15 years of experience specializing in parent coaching. If it's something your family would find helpful, I'd be happy to incorporate parent coaching into our time together. My approach is rooted in child development and behavioral science rather than any one parenting philosophy. I believe every child and family is unique, so I work collaboratively with parents to develop individualized strategies that fit their specific needs and values. Of course, if you're simply looking for a reliable, nurturing, and experienced caregiver, I'm equally happy to focus on providing exceptional care for your little humans—whether they're infants, toddlers, school-aged kids, or somewhere in between.
