Hi ! I'm a single mother to my daughter who just graduated from the Physician Assistant program at Marquette. Proud Mom here! I have over 20 years of babysitting and caregiving experience and am currently certified in Basic Life Support and First Aid. I grew up working at my mother's daycare center, where my passion for working with children bloomed. Over the years, I've volunteered in my church's nursery, taught Sunday school for Pre-K and Kindergarten, and cared for my daughter/nieces/nephews, as well as babysitting for friends and neighbors. I started my career as a professional caregiver over 10 years ago, so I have experience with anyone from infants to teenagers to the elderly. For the past few years, I have worked as a medical assistant in a variety of healthcare settings. To me, caring for children is very rewarding and I love what I do. In my free time, I enjoy spending time with my family and my friends I am comfortable with pets. I have a reliable car and am able to help with homework, mealtimes, and light housekeeping. I value safe and fun experiences and love to incorporate learning into play and everyday activities. I Love making each day fun and kids smile. I'm a smiley bubbly positive person myself. I'd love to learn more about the ways I can specifically serve you and your family!

Gina started with our daughter when she was three months old and worked with us to find a great routine that has allowed our baby to thrive. Our daughter has gone through eczema flare ups, multiple formula changes and poor napping; Gina has been so loving, kind and took all of our directions really well. Our daughter, who is now nine months, always laughs and gets excited when she sees her at the door. Gina has been incredibly playful, creative and attentive to all of our daughter's needs (nap schedule, bottle feeding, diaper changes and milestone activities). We've felt so lucky to have her, and she has lifted a huge weight off my shoulders post-partum. I can’t recommend her enough.

Hi there! For as long as I can remember, working with children has forever been a part of me. Before covid, I was a special needs swim instructor for 4 years and this was the beginning of my journey. Since then, I have been a nanny for 3 families - each had a year contract. I am experienced in infant care as well as special needs, multiples, and twins. I used to be a lifeguard trainer so I have knowledge in cpr and first aid and I am certified. I recently became a person trainer and have proof of CPR certification upon request. I have scored “expert” in early childhood development assessments. Lastly, I am a kid at heart, so I’ll love any opportunity to help a family that I can be a part of :)

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.

Britney was our first non-family sitter outside of formal daycare and she put us at ease. The kids (4 and 2) were excited for her to come over. They played games, read books, and both were asleep when we got home. Both kids said they would love her to come play again!

I am currently a grad student for my Master's in Finance and starting a Doctoral program soon. I have very good time management skills. I enjoy spending time with kids whether it’s entertainment or learning. I believe the impact you have on a child’s life lasts forever. I played college basketball at Triton as well as experienced in other sports (volleyball, softball). I have experience with children of all ages from newborn to teens. I have worked at the Park District of LaGrange as well as the Brookfield Summer camps. I am also CPR/First aid certified.

We had a very pleasant experience with Hannah. She arrived on time, and was easy to talk to. I really liked how she kept in communication or gave us quick updates throughout the evening. She was very patient with one of our daughters who was very upset. (About something not related to the babysitting) She took a calm and steady approach handling the situation. We cannot thank her enough! We would definitely like her to sit again in very near future!

I have well over 25 years of professional Nanny/House Managing/Personal Assistant experience, in addition a to Pre-School teaching and Pre-School swim instruction background. I also have In-Home Day Care experience at my Westchester residence. I have a Child Development/Psychology background. I have an extensive medical background/CPR trained and can handle children with special needs. Kids respond to me because I am patient, outgoing, fun-loving and try to relate to them at their level. I also try to make every day a fun learning experience. I am not afraid to get my hands dirty. In the summer you can find me on the ground catching insects, teaching the children how to fish, or catching bullfrogs/ turtles to study (catch and release). I am a big nature-lover. I am an avid fisher-woman, excellent swimmer and horseback-rider. My hobby is training/entering my German Shepherd Dogs in Obedience/Conformation Competition). My previous 14 year old female Lexxi, was a UKC Champion, who held 5 titles and 44 awards. She also did therapy work. I’ve also owned cats, ferrets, guinea pigs, rabbits, and a cockatiel named SpongeBob! Although I am no "spring chicken" so to speak, don’t let my age deter you. I am high energy and fit, working 50-60 hours a week caring for children. On the weekends, when I’m not working, you’ll find me running around the dog show ring, or practicing agility. My current 7 month old Kasha, is working on her AKC obedience titles. She has some big paws to fill! I have a Law Enforcement/Animal Control Officer, a Medical/ Medical Computer Systems background and have also worked in the Corporate world. All of those jobs I really enjoyed. But I’m completely happy and comfortable in a private/domestic setting taking care of children and managing a household. I excel at ensuring that the household is running smoothly, and I like putting my excellent organizational skills to work. It is a very gratifying experience for me. To be successful, there needs to be teamwork and open communication. I’m a firm believer in consistency and structure... I’m professional, comical, considerate of others, a bit of a neat freak and a little bit of a workaholic; and 100% dependable! I am also a parent, although my daughter is much, much older. I’m a long time Sittercity member. I recently left my Nanny position of over 8 years in River Forest. Thank you for your time. I look forward to hearing from you!

Sheila is a great cat sitter and a great lady. She very clearly loves animals, as you can tell from her bio. She was very conscientious about maintaining a consistent feeding schedule and interacting with my cat. She texted me with an update after every visit. I will definitely hire her again.

I have been a stay at home Mom for our boy's entire lives. They are now grown men, and I have become a Grandma. I really enjoy care giving whether for the very young or the elderly. I am a Christian, non smoking, first aid trained, very experienced babysitter. I have been a nanny for ten years. I have my own transportation, and can provide pick up after school. I am very reliable, punctual and flexible if needs arise. I am also a Stephen Minister with even more training in care and communication. Please allow me to give fun and careful care in your absence, so that you may be able to rest easy and not be concerned about the home front while you are away. I can be available M-F in your home. Currently, looking for a part time Nanny position for the 26/27 school year. I enjoyed giving care to a four and five year old active brothers during the 17/18, 18/19, 19/20, 20/21, and 21/22 school years. At that point they no longer needed after school care. This involved transportation to/from the grade school as well as transportation to/from the preK where the four year old was enrolled daily. We had a lot of fun together. In (2016-17) I cared for 2 elementary age sisters before and after school. Since their Mom is a teacher, she is home with them for the summer. The school year before that (15/16), I worked for a family with a 4th grade daughter and a 7th grade son. I have enjoyed becoming a part of their family. I am finding that I am in need of more than the 10.5 hours this dear family can give me. The previous year (14/15), I enjoyed caring for a 5th grade boy. The following fall he was being bused to his Jr. high and no longer needed a caregiver as he had older siblings. Would love to hear from you ASAP if you are in need of reliable, on time, transportation provider, and nurturing care giving for your children after school in the 203 Naperville district. My neighborhood elementary school is Steeple Run, so that is obviously my preference. Would prefer to stay in District 203.

Sherry cared for our 11 year old son before and after school this year. She was kind, reliable and gentle spirited. She was flexible too! She provided routine and safe transportation. We would highly recommend Sherry.

I’m a reliable, nurturing, and dedicated nanny with over 10 years of hands-on childcare experience. I’ve worked with children of all ages, including infants, and truly love creating a safe, engaging, and loving environment where kids can grow and feel understood. I take pride in making everyday moments special—whether that’s planning fun outdoor activities, crafts, or simply being present and attentive to each child’s unique needs. My current long-term position is coming to an end as the youngest child is starting kindergarten, and I’m now looking for a full-time summer role with the hope of continuing into a long-term position with the right family. I value strong communication, mutual respect, and becoming a supportive, dependable part of a family’s daily life. I love being outside, staying active, and encouraging creativity and curiosity in children. I can also provide strong references from families I’ve worked closely with over the years. I’m reliable, nurturing, and genuinely love being around kids. Whether it’s arts and crafts, outdoor adventures, or playdates, I try to make the most out of each experience. I’m also comfortable with light housekeeping related to the kids, and managing routines/activities. If you’re looking for someone dependable and experienced to jump in a few days a week this summer, I’d love to connect!!! ☺️☀️
