Sittercity helps Skokie families find the best nannies

Hi! I am a reliable, punctual and outgoing Sitter. I have experience working with children of all ages. I've nannied for newborns and toddlers and supervised school-aged children while working as a recreation leader for the Chicago Park District. I enjoy the energy that children are full of and have acquired a great knack for dealing with the different temperaments. I am CPR and AED certified and have a valid Drivers License. I may be available for last minute sitting as well! If you feel like I may be a good fit for your family, please send me a message and I'll gladly get back to you as soon as possible.

Hi! My name is Isabella Wergin, I am a recent graduate of Loyola Chicago living in Lakeview. I’m looking for a consistent position and a willing to start as soon as possible. I’ve nannied/ babysat for a variety of families over the past 8 years, therefore I have experience with various ages and needs. I love to facilitate creative activities that allow for use of imagination and learning. Two summers ago, I was a camp counselor at an overnight summer camp in Maine, where I was a bunk counselor and instructed tennis to children ages 4-17. This opportunity expanded my understanding in how to best engage all age groups in activities. Looking forward to meeting you!

I am a responsible, creative, and dedicated person committed to children’s well-being. I have experience working as a nanny, providing childcare, helping with schoolwork, and ensuring a safe and welcoming environment for them. I am certified in first aid for children and adults, as well as CPR, which allows me to respond quickly and effectively in case of emergencies. Additionally, I can cook, clean, and drive, offering comprehensive support to families. I consider myself patient, attentive, and caring, and I truly enjoy spending time with children, supporting them in their growth and development.

My name is Crystal, I am the product of a single mother so I understand how important child care can be to a parent. From watching my younger brother while my mother went to work, to co-running a day camp where I was in charge of taking care of a group of children from the ages of 4-8, then eventually being a care provider in a nursery, and a nanny to two little girls from the ages of 9-months to two years old I have always been passionate about providing exemplary child care. I love to read to/or with kids, play silly games and engage their interests because it brings them joy and that's the foundation of good child care. I am cautious of health concerns such as allergies and incredibly skilled with a first aid kit. I understand that a clean home is a happy home and I'll work to help you keep your space happy. I'm very good with pets of all kinds and do my best work under stress. Honesty is incredibly important to me especially where children are involved and it is something that you can expect from me at all times as well as responsibility and reliability.

I have many years of experience with children in a wide range of settings, including many years of babysitting for families in their homes, working as a summer camp counselor, as an assistant teacher in a daycare, and volunteering in two elementary schools. I raised my own son and I occasionally watch my 4 and 6 year old grandsons. In the past year and a half I have watched a 2.5 year old boy, an infant girl from age 3 to 6 months, a baby boy from 7 to 10 months, and an 8 year old girl. I completed a pediatric first aid and CPR class in November 2023. When I am watching children I do not use my cell phone (other than in case of emergency or if I need to schedule an appointment) as I want to give the kids my undivided attention. I especially enjoy reading to children, doing art projects together, and taking nature walks. I am very energetic, and on days when I am not babysitting, I typically take 4 - 5 mile walks along the lake. I am very happy to provide professional and personal references. Among the parents from whom I can provide references are a neonatologist, a professor of psychology, a nurse, and an elementary schoolteacher. As a caregiver, I am highly reliable, kind, warm, and fun. I love both kids and dogs. My schedule is typically very flexible, and I can often make myself available for last-minute requests. Thank you. Rosanne

Hi! I am a newer resident to Chicago, but was born and raised in the Midwest. I’ve worked professionally with children from ages 5 to 20 for over 10 years with a focus on teaching them social and emotional skills. I also have a degree in Learning Development and Family Science. You’ll find me playing games with or talking to the kids at family or friend gatherings versus engaging with the adults. Laughing and being silly are my favorite things to do with kids! I have empathy, patience, and kindness. I would love to help your family out!
