Hey there parents! I am only available as a date night sitter at this time. I will update this if that changes. I am a super happy, energetic filmmaker and singer living in the Ravenswood area. When I am not watching kiddos, I run a small business playing D&D (Dungeons & Dragons) and other table top role playing games with kids ages 8 to 16 online. I can help with homework, sing songs, play games, cook them dinner, clean up, whatever you need. I am excellent with animals as well: dogs, cats, pigs, birds, you name it! At this time I sit for kids ages 6 months to 17. I have my flu shot, am fully vaccinated and have my own transportation. Thanks so much for your interest and I look forward to hearing from you!

I am an energetic, friendly, caring sitter looking to find a part time or full time position near me. I live in the Hyde Park neighborhood. I am a college graduate (BA in English, Minor in Spanish) and I have extensive experience working with children of all ages as a nanny and in Chicago Public Schools (I have worked for CPS as a Special Education Classroom Assistant as well as a Tutor/Mentor and as a Substitute Teacher). Let's schedule an interview to see if I am a good fit for your family! I became a caregiver because I love working with children - it is a rewarding job where you can help children and families with their day to day tasks and bring structure as well as fun to each day when you are at work.

We’ve been using Terri as our nanny for our infant, and we truly couldn’t be happier. She’s absolutely wonderful with our little one—gentle, nurturing, and incredibly attentive to his needs. Terri is also very communicative, always keeping us updated and making sure we're on the same page. She’s a pleasure to work with and has made the transition into parenthood so much smoother for our family. We feel lucky to have found her!

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 parents! My name is Janet, 32 years old, and bilingual. I speak fluent Spanish and English. I'm a dedicated and experienced nanny that moved back home to Chicago after living in Denver for four years. During my time in Denver, I had the wonderful opportunity to work as a live-in nanny for six months and also connected with several amazing families through trusted nanny and babysitting apps. For the past four years, I’ve worked consistently with three wonderful families, one long-term and two part-time, and I’m proud to share that all three are happy to serve as references. I’ve built strong, lasting relationships with each of them and feel honored to have been part of their children’s lives. Currently I am a nanny to a 20 month old and can share the child’s parents as a current reference and the families from Denver. I’m looking to help parents babysit for date nights or weekends. With over 10 years of experience, I am knowledgeable of the basic fundamental stages of child development. I've worked with infants and children up to middle school aged. I've prepared and arranged nutritious meals for children, bathed and dress children, supervised children’s activities in their own rooms, outside establishments, and play areas according to their age. I've also helped put children to sleep according to their schedules. I worked alongside a behavioral therapist with a past family to help regulate the toddler's behavior and help the child understand their emotions. I have also worked along with a speech therapist, as the child had a speech delay. My experience also involves being a live-in nanny, travel nanny, overnights , meal prep, cooking dinner for my previous family, and arranging a nanny share. I'm fully vaccinated and have proof of vaccination. I am alert of the child or children at all times. My job is to simply make your life a bit easier. Your child or children are your most precious resbonsibility, when entrusting their care and well being to someone other than yourself, be sure you have the very best. If you are interested in my services or have further questions, please don't hesitate to Dm me.

Dunni N.
Janet was absolutely incredible. From the first time Janet & I spoke, I sensed she’d be the right fit. She proactively sent me her background check conducted via SitterCity and when I asked for her CPR certification, she realized it had just expired and proactively attended a recertification class the next day! It was clear to me that she understood the importance of having her ducks in a row and giving parents peace of mind. My child took to Janet within 5 min of her arriving. We all felt comfortable with her taking him on a walk within 15 min of her arriving. Janet watched my child for a total of 9 hours (she was scheduled for 8 & agreed to an extra hour a couple of hours before her scheduled end time b/c we were at a wedding). Janet shared her location and pics of our child throughout their time together. My child gave Janet the biggest hug when she was leaving which let me know she really did do a great job. My husband and I were finally able to enjoy some us time because we had peace of mind with Janet. Janet is the second sitter we’ve worked with from SitterCity and we’ve been so pleased!

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!
