Hi, My name is Patricia O'Brien. I have over twenty years of experience as a sitter, nanny and companion. I have worked for many families over the years and I have developed a long-lasting relationship with the majority of them. I have patience that astounds other parents and the kindest heart you will come across. Parents and children alike grow to love me. I have also obtained Nurses Aid Training from Triton College. I am CPR and First Aid Certified.I have extensive experience caring for children of all ages. This includes: newborns, infants, toddlers, preschool age and up along with also caring for twins and triplets. I was also a teachers assistant in a Montessori school for 5 years, working in the infant(starts at six weeks old) and toddler rooms. I am a very loving and caring, compassionate, nurturing and patient person. I am energetic, engaging, creative, reliable, responsible and fun. I am dependable, resourceful, honest and sincere and I have a great amount of common sense and judgement when caring for children.

Hello! My name is Jessie. I graduated with a Bachelor's degree in Psychology from UIC. I am also an occupational therapy practitioner and certified respite care provider. I love to work with children. I currently am working at a therapeutic clinic for children with developmental disabilities. The clients I work with are from the ages 0-27 years of age. I am a fun and outgoing person who likes to engage children in learning. While babysitting I always will do something educational to ensure they are learning but still having fun. It is helpful if children tell me what they like for activities so I can incorporate their hobbies into our time together. I enjoy music, cooking, and cleaning. I am a very organized and detailed person. Being patient is one of my good traits. Contact me if you need a responsible and caring babysitter/ respite care porvider.  Available for date nights, weekends or part-time.

Hello, my name is Alisha, born and raised in Chicago! I have always had a nurturing and caring nature about me. I was always good with the children in my family growing up. I joined the childcare field three years ago! I've been a preschool teacher, and just recently I've joined the home care field. I am a full-time nanny working for a family as an at-home teacher! I find so much joy and purposefulness in working with children and helping them build that strong foundation! The foundation that will structure the rest of their lives. I am very creative so I love doing art projects and science experiments! I am also very active, I'm always doing a lot of movement with the kids! I have experience working with all age groups from infants to 10 years old. I am CPR certified, SIDS certified, shaking baby syndrome aware, and certified! I am Covid vaccinated. I am first aid certified. I also have various trainings in childcare as a teacher! :)

I am a big kid myself. I love to have fun, be outdoors, and be adventurous. At any event, I find myself hanging out with the kids because they tend to have more fun than adults sometimes. I've been baby sitting twins since they were born- 10 years ago. I started watching them since i was 18. Changing diapers, feeding them, burping, the whole package. As they grew, so did the activities. I've picked them up from school, drove them home, fed them, kept them entertained and occupied until their parents came home, sometimes take them to their appointments, with and without parents. During the summer, keep them out of their parents way, taking them to camp, to the pool, zoo, anything we felt like doing that day. With twins, a boy and a girl, it can be difficult to keep them satisfied when they're completely different people; however, I was able to learn how to manage them and the changes as the years went on.

Hello, my name is Mariah Alvarez. I am thirty one years old. I am a full-time SECA (Special Education Classroom Assistant) working for CPS (Chicago Public Schools). Before I started my CPS career, I worked for several years as a nanny for two amazing families who I still keep in touch with! I have experience with special needs and medical needs. I also have a younger sister (23 years old) who has special needs. Through caring for her is where my love and passion grew with wanting to work in special education. She is my muse and the reason why I chose working in Special Education. I have experience with all age groups! I like to dedicate my time to being of service to children/people who need help. I like to teach independence as much as possible, all while guiding and making learning fun. I love to plan play dates! Anything that involves being outside and going around the beautiful city that we live in, is a must (weather permitting of course)! I am looking to work full-time for the summer. Please feel free to reach out if you feel like I'd be a good fit to work with your family. Thank you for your time and consideration.

Hi! I’m Lyd a special education teacher in training with a background in working with children of all abilities. I currently work as a paraprofessional, supporting students with a range of needs, and I bring that same patience, understanding, and adaptability to babysitting. I have my own vehicle, am an experienced driver with a clean driving record, and am happy to provide school or activity transport. I enjoy being outdoors whether it’s kicking around a soccer ball after school or heading to a nearby park after school, but am also happy doing crafts, reading, playing board games or whatever else you know will keep your child engaged! At my job in a Chicago Public School, I have three kids I currently assist throughout the day, helping them stay engaged and stepping in to help with any big emotions or arguments. In previous childcare positions, I tutored a group of boys 8-13 at a local non-profit and provided after school pickup and care to an awesome 5th grader. I've also babysat for different families during summer break over the years, as well as been a sitter for friends kid's during an evening out. As a paraprofessional, I work with almost every age group, so I’m happy and comfortable with kids ages 1-15, and their differing needs. I can also help prepare snacks and/or meals, do basic housework and cleaning, or walking any furry friends you may have. In my free time I enjoy writing music, exploring new coffee shops, biking in and out of the city, and playing with the dogs I foster!
