Hello, my name is Maribel Sánchez and I am currently an Early Childhood Education teacher and just earned my Child Development Associate. I have worked with children for the past 10 years from toddlers to preschoolers to school aged children. I enjoy working with children because as much as they learn from me I learn from them! It is a pleasure to work with children and support them with expanding their skills and reaching their full potential. During my free time I enjoy playing soccer, watching movies, and hanging out with my family! :)

My wife and I are thankful to have Maribel as our sitter. She has taken care of our 2 girls multiple times. She has always been punctual, reliable, and so engaging with our girls. She plays board games with them, spends time outside with them and they’ve even had an impromptu dance party. One of my girls has special needs so she’s always making sure my little one has taken her medicine, plus knowing that Maribel is CPR certified gives me added peace of mind. If you need a sitter who will take care of your kids with care and patience Maribel is definitely the person to call. She is a teacher who has unparalleled understanding of working with children. I know my family and I couldn’t have asked for a better sitter.

Hello Parents, how are you all? I hope all is well, as of now I'm only available on Saturdays and Sundays only ( open availability is up for discussion). I do not accept last minute bookings, and we must have a phone interview followed by a in-person interview before requesting care from me. I ask all parents to give me at least a 48-72 hour notice before booking service. I share 13 beautiful years caring for children from Newborn-School age and I love working alongside parents helping to enhance their children cognitive, social, and emotional development. Reaching milestones using hands-on recreational and educational activities and building strong relationships to ensure a safe, fun, and comfortable work environment. A typical day for me once you reach out we will have a phone or video interview discussing important information regarding your child. I will also share with you some amazing experiences I have caring for children. After our phone discussion, I will then send over at least 2-3 professional references. If you decide I'm a good fit or will like to do a work trial, we will then set up a time and place to meet. Rather its at your home, where you will be showing me around giving me details such as your childs daily routine, showing me where bathrooms are, what area the children plays in the home the most, diaper changing areas, what to do and not to do in your home, any restrictioned areas, ect. If you prefer to have a in-person interview over phone or local places such as a Starbucks or dunkin donuts we can do that as well and no worries coffee and donuts on me! This is to ensure both parents and I are on the same page and children are comfortable and familiar with me. Once everything is set and stone you will then let me know the times you will need care. I will then confirm your request and keep you updated on my arrival time. I always arrive at least 15-30 mins early for all bookings request. I will then engae with children throughout the day, keeping a daily activity log, and send cute pictures and videos throughout the day to show how much fun your child or children are having. Understand I take my job very seriously so your children are in the best hands when under my care, so if you interested please reach out to me at (872)-288-2261. Thank you! Looking forward to meeting you and your family!

Khaliah helped us last minute when we really needed it. She was extremely sweet with our little boy, and very thoughtful and considerate while in our home. While our kiddo is in daycare and we don’t need regular support, I’m excited for the opportunity to have Khaliah watch our kiddo again!!

Hello! My name is Vianca, and I am a dedicated and experienced nanny with over 8 years of paid professional childcare experience. Caring for children has always been more than a job to me—it’s a role that I genuinely cherish and take great pride in. Throughout my career, I have had the privilege of working with children of various ages and developmental stages, helping to create safe, nurturing, and enriching environments where they can flourish. I believe every child deserves to feel supported, encouraged, and celebrated for who they are. I love creating engaging days filled with learning, creativity, and adventure. Whether we’re exploring local parks, museums, libraries, cultural events, neighborhood activities, or simply enjoying imaginative play at home, I strive to foster curiosity and a lifelong love of learning. I value experiences that help children develop confidence, independence, empathy, and an appreciation for the diverse world around them. Families often describe me as dependable, patient, proactive, and deeply invested in the well-being of their children. I understand the importance of open communication, consistency, and partnership with parents, and I work hard to ensure families feel supported and at ease. My goal is always to provide loving care while creating meaningful connections and memorable experiences that positively impact a child’s growth and development. I feel incredibly fortunate to be part of children’s lives during such important years and look forward to helping them learn, explore, and thrive.

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! I live in Chicago and have a full-time job during the week as a Delivery Consultant for a software company. I don't have any children of my own, but love being around children of all ages watching them react to new things and explore the world. I consider myself to be optimistic, friendly, energetic, creative, and firm when necessary. Outside of my full time job, I avoid screen time as much as possible. I much prefer to be out doing new things - love the arts, baking/cooking, and being active. I babysat regularly in high school and college - ages from infant to elementary. While in high school I volunteered at a local fitness center in the day care center, caring for children as their parents used the gym. I participated in Big Brothers/Big Sisters in college and enjoyed mentoring children in underserved communities. I have three young nieces and a nephew that live out of state. I don't get to see them as often as I would like, so I cherish my time with them and enjoy spoiling them as much as I can! I am generally available after 5pm on weekday evenings and anytime on weekends. I have a car and live in the South Loop neighborhood.

Leslie is all around fantastic. She is so personable, genuine, responsive, punctual - all the things you'd want in a babysitter. The first time we ever left our daughter with someone other than family/day care was with Leslie, and we were comfortable the evening we went out. Worth noting: we don't have a wifi enabled monitor and still felt at ease. She also assists with bottle washing, which is a major bonus. We're lucky to have connected with her!

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 but my last day working for them will be June 26. I’m currently looking for a part-time position, but I’m also interested in full-time for the right family!

I’m an experienced babysitter and nanny with over 10 years of hands on childcare experience, caring for children from infants through school age. I’ve supported families in both full-time roles and occasional date night and weekend care, and I’m comfortable stepping in seamlessly so parents can head out feeling confident.

I’m especially comfortable with bedtime routines, multiple children, and maintaining a smooth, peaceful evening. I’m CPR and First Aid certified, with training in child development and early childhood education principles. I value clear communication, respect family preferences, and aim to provide thoughtful, dependable care that feels easy and reassuring for both children and parents. Families often describe me as trustworthy, punctual, and easy to work with, and I take pride in creating a warm, safe environment where children feel comfortable and parents feel at ease.

We have worked with Ms. Angelica for a few years now. She used to be our first daughter’s daycare teacher, and we would hire her to babysit on the side. She has a lot of experience with infants, and that gave us peace of mind when leaving our baby girl with her. We liked her so much we kept having her babysit even after we left the daycare and moved on to a new school.
