I’m a responsible and caring caregiver with CPR/First Aid certification, a reliable car, and a strong educational background— I recently graduated from UIC. I value creating a safe, structured, and supportive environment where children can feel comfortable and confident. I’m patient, and attentive, and I take safety very seriously while also making sure kids feel seen and cared for. I’m happy to help with routines, school support, and keeping children engaged in a positive way. I can also provide references if requested

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!

To whom it may concern, my name is Charkishia Richardson and for the last ten years, I’ve dedicated my life to loving, and taking care of infants and toddlers! I started off in busy daycare centers juggling multiple children my first 4 years and my recent last 4 & 1/2 years I worked As a nanny with a loving family The Jesebergers! After leaving the Jesebergers I gained another family The Lucci’s for a year and a half before they relocated to another state! Helping Take care of and assist these wonderful families with their beautiful & wonderful little girls gave my heart so much joy! In my time frame of working with both infants & toddlers my duties consist of: diaper changing, bottle feeding, preparing snacks & meals, laundry, bathed (if needed), insisted in tummy time, helped with potty training, sleep training, rocked to sleep, read books to and even taken outside for some fresh air on strolls throughout the neighborhood and park dates! I’m a very loving, and energetic individual who’s certified in First Aid and CPR and Covid vaccinated!!

I cannot say enough about Mrs. Richardson, she was absolutely amazing with our 3 kiddos. She was with our daughter from infancy to two and our elementary age sons after school for additional support. She truly was a blessing for our family with our hectic schedules, my travel schedule for business and a very demanding toddler she went above and beyond. Even during the winters, she made sure our daughter had outside time, long walks when it was warm, reading and flash card time, painting and various other activities that interested our toddler. When we forgot to prep snacks and meals, she jumped in to prep lunch for her and would update us if she was running low on her favorite foods or other essentials. She truly was my eyes and ears. She was the only person my family was ever comfortable with our children aside from my parents and sister which spoke volumes since he did not initially want daycare or a nanny. We miss her truly since relocating to TX. We have not been able to replace her we wish we could have had her with us as an au pair. She truly is a gem and has received several request for services from family and some of our personal friends. Anyone would be grateful to have her.

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!

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!

Hello, families! My name is Rebecca and I come with over 30 years of nanny/sitter experience. I've worked with children of every age; fresh from the delivery room, up to high school. The first few years are my favorite, but I love children at every age. I have helped raise over 10 babies. The oldest is now 28 and an amazing human, and friend. I am also celebrating 17 years with a three boy family in Evanston. I live in the north/north/east part of the city and I am hoping to find a family in the area. I'm looking for a fun family that I can help share childcare responsibilities with. I work as a team member and an extension of you. This is a very important relationship that takes communication and care. We need to be on the same page when it comes to routine and guidance/discipline. Consistency is vital if we want to keep children feeling safe and secure. I am extremely flexible when it comes to days and times. I prefer to work no more than four days a week, but I can make occasional exceptions. Let's chat on the phone and see if we feel like setting up an in-person interview. I'll leave you with a few words that describe me: fun, funny, kind, honest, dedicated, silly, firm, open, patient, helpful, and considerate. That's me! If you shoot me a message, I'll send you my phone number and then we can text/call right away. Good luck on your childcare search! Live long and prosper and May The Force be with you, ~Rebecca~
