I'm Agnes .I love children. I'll babysit for you anytime (if I'm available:))Last minute welcome (773-209-7435). I've been babysitting since I was 14(&more if you consider my 3y younger sister:)I'm a mom of a 7yo girl (born Dec 4th 2006). For over 16 months I was a nanny to Charlotte and I took my daughter Astrid Kimberly with me. There is about 7 weeks difference between the girls, so Charlie's parents were glad to have a playmate for their precious one:)) Same time I was a 1 day a week nanny to Kate who is just a week older than Astrid. Those positions ended summer 2008. Till the end of July 2009 I was a 3.5 day nanny to Sydney who is 2,5yo and her little sister Samantha who just turned 1 year old (I took Astrid with me on some days).Then I was 2day nanny to 5yo Marissa and her Read more 8yo sister Malina:)for about a year. I was also a nighttime nanny to 1.5mo boy twins for a month+. For 3-4+months was in nanny share situation (3 days) taking care of 15mo Cole and 9mo Noah - till one of the parents lost their job and they couldn't have me anymore. Till FEB 10th 2011 I worked 3+days a week as a nanny to  Shayna , who is turning 5yo in March 2012,I've been their 3day a week nanny for almost a year, but I've been babysitting for them for over 4years:) From around Jul 2011-Oct 2012 I was a 3 day nanny to Billy who was 3mo when I started. For over 3 months I was a night-time nanny to a PREMATURE baby girl Ava she was around 1mo when I started. I've also cared for a month for twin baby girls. For over a year I cared for a baby boy Billy he was around 6mo when I started. I have open schedule.    I'm looking for FULL TIME POSITION or couple PART TIMES as well as EVENINGS/ WEEKENDS ect. I can also babysit on WEEKENDS or OVERNIGHT/NIGHTTIME. I can babysit at your/my place/(HOTEL) I have plenty plenty plenty infant experience, as well as toddler (older as well). You can check my reviews, and I'll also provide more references if needed. I DO NOT NEED TO BRING MY DAUGHTER, she is in First grade now and have school 8-3 daily. I may need to bring her on sporadic occasions (holidays/days off school)-but I can also arrange something for those days if I wouldn't be able to have her with. She is at age where she is pretty helpful:) And when I babysit kids her age, they usually ask to bring her with if I can so they have a playmate:) Infant/Child CPR and First Aid certified (RED CROSS)/recertified Min hours required/Cancellation FEE will apply-ASK

She was available super last minute, super flexible with times, my daughter has loved going to her home for all 3 weeks with no complaints. She even took excellent care of my daughter when she had an upset stomach. Highly recommended!

Agnes has babysat for our two year old daughter twice now and we're very happy! Our daughter is very comfortable with her and didn't complain even once when we were heading out for the evening!

Very responsible, prompt, and interacted great with my children. Agnes is a Mother, which made me feel at ease when leaving her with my children. They really enjoyed being with her. Best of all, they didn't have any separation anxiety when we left. She really connected with them and made them feel safe.

Agnes helped us out at the last minute, when our regular nanny was ill. She showed up early and spent the day with our 3 year old daughter and our 5 year old son. They both had a wonderful time with her. We will definitely call her again. She was wonderful.

Agnes is a wonderful baby-sitter! She has a warm and kind way with my son that makes me feel comfortable when I am gone. She is always on time, and very competent. I strongly recommend Agnes.

Our kids who are 10 & 6 absolutely ADORES Agnes. We definitely plan on using her again very soon!

Agnes sat for my 3 year old son and 7 week old daughter. It's a rare person that can juggle a newborn and young child, and she seemed to do it with ease. My daughter was very fussy that evening, but Agnes managed to handle both kids without getting overwhelmed. We'll definitely be using her again.

Agnes did a great job watching our 21 month old son Nate. She did everything the way we asked her to, arrived on time and even did the dishes. Since our son isn't used to being left with someone new, she even agreed to come over the day before to get to know him for a while. Thanks Agnes, we'll call you again for sure.

Agnes sat with our infant girl and toddler boy in our hotel room during a family trip to Chicago. She immediately made friends with our son and gently & capably soothed our teething baby. The next morning, our son asked when Agnes was coming back. We felt very comfortable with our children in Agnes's care and definitely will call her the next time we're in town.

Agnes took care of my son and his cousins (from out of town) for 2 nights this past weekend. This was the first time my son stayed with someone that was not family and unfamiliar. She was great... prompt and made my son feel very comfortable. I would definitely use her again.

Agnes was really terrific! Our 5 1/2 year old son is still getting used to his recently adopted 1 1/2 year old sister and can be jealous when anyone plays with his sister. Often he just plays on his own when there's a sitter. Agnes had him interacting and even singing along with both his sister and her daughter, who she brought along. I was amazed! Our daughter loved having a girl her age to play with and they all got along very well. Agnes was very professional as well as nice, and did a good job fixing them lunch and cleaning up. My son saw the sittercity.com logo just now and said, "That babysitter was great! Can we have her again really soon!" -- Cynthia K.

Agnes is an excellent babysitter. You can tell from the moment you meet her that she loves kids. If you want someone who takes care of children from the heart & not just for a paycheck, Agnes is your woman!

Agnes was great with our two daughters (2 1/2 and 7 mo.). She really loves children and it shows. We asked her to sit again the next week and hope she will be able to sit for us frequently in the future.

Agnes came in at the last minute to take car of my cat when another sitter cancelled on me. She came in and was very sweet and got to know my cat. When I came back from my trip 11 days later, I could tell that my cat had really been treated well for she was no different than when I had left her. The area around her dish was clean, her litter box was clean, my mail had been brought in so I was really happy. I've had lots of people over the years watch my pets but none did as good a job as Agnes. If you want your pet to be given the "Mommy treatment" while you're away, then Agnes is the sitter to call.

Agnes was absolutely wonderful. She came in on time, was VERY professional but at the same time very friendly. My daughter is going through a phase where she is a little scared of people she isn't familiar with and started crying when I was leaving. Agnes took her from me to distract her and within minutes she had her laughing and playing. I trusted her completely with my daughter and I could tell on BOTH nights that she watched her that they were reading books, coloring, doing little activities. She was giving me so many pointers on things to help my daughter (food, potty-training) and I felt like the minute she stepped into my house you knew you had someone with experience and genuinely caring person. I will have Agnes back if she will have us :) She is a great, fun, trustworthy babysitter. Thank you and hope to see you soon!!! Jill, Steve and Addison

Agnes was the first babysitter we ever used that was not a friend or family member. She made me feel very comfortable and was great with my son. We would love to use her again.

I work in the commercial industry and my days can be crazy. SO finding someone to take care of my son is so very important. Agnes is the perfect person for that job. My son took to her from the start. I called to check up and each time i did i heard him laughing or talking happily in the background. I will for sure call her again and would have no reservation giving her name to my friends with children.

Agnes was terrific. She was prompt and the kids enjoyed playing with her. We will definitely call again.

Agnes has babysat for us a couple of times in the evening and we will definitely use her again in the future. She is on time and reliable and our 15 month old daughter was comfortable and happily playing with her immediately.

Tiffany M.

Agnes was wonderful! She was right on time and took great care of my 8 week old. (She even humored my nervous phone calls to check in, as it was our first time out.) We will definitely ask Agnes to sit for him again.

Sarah B.

12/1/2007

Agnes is very professional! We especially like the fact that she has experience working with babies. She is quick to respond to emails and on time to appointments---even in snow storms! I came home to find our two-month old calm and happy in her arms. I feel very comfortable with Agnes and recommend her to anyone!

Karen H.

11/12/2007

Agnes, you were very reliable and I felt great about entrusting my skittish boys to your care. I'm glad this works for you, 'cuz it sure works for me. I'll need you again soon!

Terri F.

From the very beginning, Agnes has been very professional and responsible. She has babysat my 6 mo. old daughter who immediately responded positively to her. I feel very comfortable leaving my daughter with Agnes and will repeatedly use her to babysit.

Michelle R.

Agnes lives up to every review here! From our first phone call (she was prepared with great questions), to our face-to-face interaction when she babysat for our 6-month old daughter, Agnes was amazing. We completely recommend her and will definitely seek out her services again!

Mona S.

Agnes babysat our 5 month old daughter. She was absolutely wonderful with her. We really like her and will definately use her again. I would definately recommend her to other parents.

My husband and I were very impressed with Agnes. We were so nervous about using a babysitter for the first time, but she made us feel very comfortable and we knew our 11 mo. daughter was in good hands. We look forward to using her again. Thanks again Agnes!

Agnes was great. She was available on short notice which was great for us. Our daughter really liked her and I would definitely recommend to her to other parents!

Agnes was very friendly and my daughter loved her. This was the fist time I ever used a baby sitter and I was very nervous. But once I told my daughter that we're going to Agnes's house she was really exited and had a wanderfull time. I don't think I'll have to warry in the future. Agnes answered my last minute call in a very profecianal way. We also met her little girl who is so cute. I would recomment Agnes to anyone, she is great.

Renee W.

Agnes is wonderful. This was my first experience using Sittercity (or any sitting site), and I was a bit nervous about it. Agnes was the first to answer my posting, and I was thrilled to see her profile. I actually hired her to sit for us on a date before the posting. The girls loved her, and can't wait for her to come back. And I was pleasantly surprised to come home to peacefully sleeping children (which my family and friends seem unable to accomplish!). I highly recommend Agnes!!

Kathleen F.

7/24/2007

Agnes was friendly and professional, and my son liked her a lot! He kept saying "goodbye mommy" because he wanted me to leave, so he could play with her! This is the first time we used sitterCity, and I was really happy.

Ana D.

7/23/2007

Agnes is great! She watched our 4 year old daughter overnight at her house and my daughter had a wonderful time. Agnes' baby is adorable and my daughter was so excited to play with her. Agnes took great care of my daughter and we will definitely be using her again. My daughter asks when she'll get to see Agnes again, so we were quite pleased.

Michelina H.

7/19/2007

Agnes is wonderful! We were quite nervous with someone new watching our 8mo old daughter Kate. Agnes came for an interview, and the whole family instantly felt comfortable with her. Astrid and Kate play well together, and I really like that they're the same age so Kate can socialize. We highly recommend Agnes.

Monica R.

7/14/2007

Agnes was absolutely awesome! I was attending a conference in Chicago and had my sitter drop out at the last minute. Agnes was able to meet my demanding schedule at the last minute by finding me a sitter for times when she was not available, and also sitting for my kids herself. The kids had a great time and I was able to enjoy the three-day conference, knowing my kids were in good hands. I HIGHLY RECOMMEND Agnes!!!!

My children really enjoyed their day with Agnes! She was very professional.

Agnes was awesome. She watche my 2 1/2 year old and my 5 mon old. She was early and attentive. I would recommend her to everyone. Thanks Agnes.

Agnes sat for our five-month twins. Sure, they cried a lot, but Agnes kept her cool, more than gramma and grampa did in the same situation.

Stacey W.

6/7/2007

Agnes is awesome with my daughter. She anxiously anticipates Agnes coming over. The first time she came over, she brought a movie. I feel comfortable leaving my daughter with her because when I return home my daughter is in bed. Thanks Agnes.

Agnes was incredible! She was very involved with my daughter who absolutely loved her. She fit into our lifestyle immediately. I would recommend her to any parent wanting to try a new babysitter!! hanks so much Agnes!

Agnes was very energetic and enthusiastic with her approach to babysitting. She is not shy about engaging with the kids and their interests. She has been very accommodating to us. Her baby is a great addition to her work...a happy, sweet baby. Agnes demonstrated she is able to manage it all!

Jeff P.

5/20/2007

Agnes stepped in on late notice to sit with our four-year old Lucy and Lucy had a wonderful time. Agnes is professional and easy to get to know. Lucy liked her immediately.

Anise S.

5/17/2007

Agnes is a very professional and responsible babysitter. On very short notice she was able to meet me for an interview as well as babysit our 9-month old son for the day. She listened to my request not to show him television or DVDs, which I was grateful for. We hope to use her services again!

Cory B.

5/15/2007

Me and my wife were a little worried when when we hired a babysitter because this was the first time we had left our newborn son alone with someone else. When Agnes walked in all of our worries went away. She was extremely warm and personable and we felt comfortable right away. She did an amazing job with our son and we are using her again whenever this weekend. I would highly recommend her to anyone.

Agnes takes care of our little girl, Charlie, three day's a week. Agnes and Astrid are the only reason that I am able to walk out the door to go to work in the morning. I have so much confidence in Agnes' ability to care for and love Charlie that I never, ever worry about her well being. Agnes and Astrid have become an integral part of our family. Charlie and our dogs just love her. She is always on time, neat and clean. She has even reorganized Charlie's closet and dresser drawers! I can't say enough about her. Please feel free to call if you have any questions or concerns...

Agnes was a great help to me and on very short notice. She arrived early and was very friendly. The kids had a great day the did a few kraft projects. They could not stop talking about Agnes and her baby they had a lot of fun. I Plan to call her again and would definatly recommend her.

Rebecca E.

4/23/2007

Agnes is a great babysitter! She recently babysat my 2-year-old triplets and not only survived the ordeal but was smiling upon my return. She was on time, professional, responsible and friendly! My kids seemed to really like her and even asked where she was the next day. She helped me carry in groceries (so kind!) and took our little dog outside to go potty. The house was picked up when I returned and all was peaceful. I highly recommend her as a sitter and plan on using her again!
