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.

Janet is wonderful! She watched my 6 month old for the first time today and he loved her instantly and was all smiles. She did a great job with him and I appreciated that she confirmed the time the day before and was on time. I recommend Janet and will be asking her to babysit again!

Hello! Nice to meet you :) I’m Sabrina and I’m a childcare provider and professional contemporary dancer based in Chicago, IL! I’ve been working with children since 2018 and after graduating from New York University with a BFA in Dance and a minor in Business and Media in 2024, I’ve worked as a nanny, dance educator and after school care provider around the Chicagoland area. I have experience with children ages 6 weeks through 16 years, but specialize in early childhood education with children 6 months through 9 years old. In Chicago, I’ve worked for BASH Kids Club, an after care provider specializing in the arts, in addition to nannying and babysitting various children around the city. I've been a full time chaperone for The Joffrey Ballet's summer dance programs during the 2022 and 2023 summer sessions where over a three month period, I lived in a dormitory setting with students ranging from 9-22, helping them navigate the program and facilitate various activities and crafts. In New York, I acted as a nanny and personal assistant for a family in Brooklyn regularly on weekday mornings. I would get her children ready for the day, take them to school and then assist with daily household tasks such as laundry and dishes, errands, organization tasks and various small projects that needed to be completed. I also worked for a variety of families on an as-needed basis in the New York City area. I pride myself on being responsible, punctual and friendly and often complete various household tasks such as laundry, meal preparation and dishes. I'm all about making your life as a parent easier! I'd love to get to know you and your family and look forward to working with you soon. Best, Sabrina

Sabrina was punctual, communicative, and upbeat. She was able to quickly take charge of a child who was very upset about the transition and over the few hours they played quickly formed a bond. She quickly got down to my child's level, was attentive, cleaned up - and better than that my two year old wanted her to come back!

Hi there! I’m an experienced nanny with a genuine passion for helping children learn, grow, and thrive. I’m a kid at heart, so I bring warmth, enthusiasm, creativity, and plenty of energy into every day while creating a safe and nurturing environment. My journey working with children began in 2016 as a special needs swim coach, where I developed the patience, empathy, and adaptability that continue to guide my approach to caring for children today. Since then, I’ve gained experience caring for infants, twins, toddlers, preschool-aged, and elementary-aged children, including nanny share settings and families with multiple young children. I love planning engaging activities that support developmental milestones through reading, outdoor adventures, sensory play, music, and hands-on learning. I’m also proactive, dependable, and enjoy helping families by staying organized and pitching in wherever I can. I’m looking for a family where communication, kindness, and teamwork are valued. My goal is to become a trusted teammate to parents while providing children with a loving, enriching environment where they can feel confident, curious, and deeply cared for.

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.

Hey there parents! I am only available as a part time/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!

Migle is a professional babysitter. You can tell she has a large amount of experience babysitting and enjoys what she does. She is easy to communicate with and always arrives on time. My children have easily adjusted to her. When she arrived the first time and I was explaining procedures, she asked questions I hadn't even thought of. That made be feel assured I had picked the right babysitter for my children. They are always eager for her to babysit.

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~
