Hello Parents, I am currently seeking occasional date night opportunities. I have MANY years of experience working with children from birth to age 12. I have been babysitting since the age of 13, worked in daycare throughout college years, taught in the public school system and am currently a full-time nanny. I love being a nanny because I enjoy the ability of having one on one time with children. I believe that loving attention is so very important in a child's life. I will treat your children as my own!

Hi there! I’m Darlene but the kiddos call me DD. I absolutely adore children and helping them develop. I have been a sitter over 12 years and a nanny for 4 years.

I enjoy meal prepping and party decorating and planning as well! I am a DePaul University alumni and I have worked in the medical field as well.

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.

Brianna S.
- 10 years paid experience

Hello! My name is Brianna and here’s a little intro about me. I have been in childcare for 10 years and I have been a nanny and babysitter for 8 years now. I do not babysit or nanny as a side gig, I’m very passionate about childcare and the safety and comfort of children. I myself had to stay in afterschool programs or with crappy sitters for years as a child and I remember what it’s like to miss mom and dad. So of course when you hire a sitter the last thing you want is someone who isn’t friendly and doesn’t make your child feel like their at home. I’m here to correct all of that and encourage your children to be who they are, be happy and have fun.

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! my name is silvana i’m 24 years old, i’ve been babysitting for as long as i could remember but started to actually get paid experience at 18. I had mostly gained experience babysitting my cousins and my parents friends kids. A little about myself, i’m a very bubbly person always smiling and laughing. i consider myself very respectful, my parents have taught me amazing manners. I was currently work as a waitress at texas roadhouse so working around people of all age rage and having to interact with hundreds of customers daily, learning to defuse situations come up with solutions and making sure people have a good experience. I love and adorable kids same goes for pets, I have a dog of my own he’s a 8 year old Maltese. The cutest little thing, his name is teddy. I speak english and spanish fluently as well as reading and writing of course. Im very family oriented, my mom is my best friend as well as my 19year old brother, he has my whole heart. We are inseparable I love that little boy to death. Although isn’t so little anymore as he is a new dad with my niece who is 2 months old, who knew being an aunt would bring so much joy in my life. The reason i’m interested in babysitting again after 1 year off is 1. Be around kids again I can’t wait to be a mom myself, being an aunt is already filing that partial role 2. i’m trying to earn money to hopefully go back to school 3. id love to help the parents most important, to get some weight/ stress off their chest.
