Sittercity helps Hickory Hills families find the best nannies

I am experienced babysitter and nanny. My experience is more than 7 years with children of different age groups and babies as well. I have children of my own that I have raised. I love working with children and I have been a preschool teacher back in my home country Bulgaria. I play piano, love being active, and being creative.

Hi! My name is Chelsey, and I’m a nurturing, creative, and experienced childcare provider with a Master’s degree in Early Childhood Education and over five years of experience working with young children in classrooms, daycare centers, and as a nanny. I’m deeply passionate about supporting children’s growth through play, curiosity, and connection—and I take pride in creating a safe, joyful environment where little ones can thrive. I bring a calm yet enthusiastic energy to my work, always guided by compassion, consistency, and an understanding of early childhood development. Whether we’re diving into arts and crafts, exploring nature on a walk, reading stories together, or cooking up something fun in the kitchen, I aim to keep children engaged, supported, and learning at their own pace. I’m also a huge animal lover (especially dogs!) and believe in the value of helping children build empathy through caring for the world around them. Working closely with families is something I value deeply. I strive to become a trusted extension of your home—honoring your family's traditions, values, parenting styles, and routines with cultural sensitivity and open communication. I believe in maintaining healthy, positive boundaries while building meaningful relationships with both children and parents. My goal is always to provide not just dependable care, but genuine partnership. I’d be honored to support your family and help your little ones grow with confidence, creativity, and love!

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 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.

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 Monday through Thursday and I’m looking to fill my Fridays along with the weekends! Although, mom will be going on maternity leave mid June and I am looking to care for someone this summer! Mom is off until January, so I can even extend it to that time if needed and also possibly open to staying with new family! Please contact me if you’re interested.
