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.

A little about me I have been a nanny professionally for about 9 years. I have been babysitting / watching children since I've been 13 years old. I have two children myself age is 18 and 11. I have five God children that I've had a hand in raising the eldest one is now 26 in the youngest one is 18. I've had several Nanny families that I've had contracts with over the last 9 years, one family had five children two with learning disabilities and the two littlest ones were set of twins at 7 months when I initially started. I can implement learning lessons, potty training, taking care of light House duties, prepare snacks and meals for the children start dinner for the family. My schedule is pretty much flexible within reason. I do know CPR. I've assisted in both of my kids schools with the teachers ,in their classrooms for many hours each school year. From infants to preteens I'm able to deal with everything and all in-between from school work, studying, projects and taking them to and from activities. I'm very happy go lucky person I believe my position is an extension of the parents in the home so I always like to go over the expectations from parents to teach your children the way that you would want them to be taught. I'm very big on manners and respect so each moment they would be with me your child is always in a learning moment and a teachable moment. I do believe children are children kids are kids and repetitiveness from the parents, nannies and family I believe the children are taught that way so I always try to lead by example when I'm with each child.

Nurturing young minds is truly my passion. My positive experiences babysitting sparked over a decade-long journey of providing care for children of all ages.

My previous childcare experience includes camp counselor, lead teacher, tutor, and sitter.

Hi! My name is Victory (all my nanny families call me V!) and I'm 26 years old. Since moving to Chicago in 2021, I've made quite a few connections with different families, and I'm hoping that yours is next! In 2022, I graduated from the University of Chicago with a Masters in Sociology, where my research focus was the distinctive needs of children with marginalized identities within the American School System. Formerly, I was a Teacher and SEL (Social Emotional Learning) Specialist at a private school for neurodiverse learners. This means that I know that no two children are the same. I tailor my approach in a way that ensures every child feels like they can thrive exactly the way they are. As a babysitter, my primary goal is to provide a safe and nurturing environment for children to grow and develop as unique individuals. With 10 years of experience in childcare, I have honed my skills in managing the daily needs of children while fostering their emotional, social, and cognitive growth. As a sitter, I take pride in my ability to connect with children on a personal level, creating a bond of trust and respect that allows me to provide the highest level of care. I am skilled in engaging children in age-appropriate activities that promote their development, such as reading, playing games, and encouraging creative expression. I am also dedicated to working collaboratively with parents, ensuring that their child's needs and preferences are always taken into account. Whether it's coordinating schedules, managing meal times, or providing updates on their child's progress, I believe that open communication is essential to providing the best possible care. When I'm not babysitting, I love exploring hidden gems in the city, filling my apartment with massive plants, and spending time catching up with my friends and family! I also genuinely enjoy perfecting my craft and researching the most up-to-date child-rearing techniques and practices. Overall, I am a responsible, caring, and experienced babysitter who is committed to providing a safe and supportive environment for children to thrive. I’m excited to meet your family and make a difference in your child’s life, one day at a time!
