I am 26 years old, originally from Mozambique, and have been living in the United States, specifically in Chicago now. I have over 10 years of experience caring for children, starting with my younger sisters since I am the oldest sibling. I then worked as a preschool educator at my church, where I took care of children and engaged in various activities with them. I have also worked as a babysitter always focusing on providing a safe and nurturing environment. I have always enjoyed caring for children, and this passion led me to become an au pair, which brought me to the United States for the exchange program. I am committed to continuing to work with children, whether as a babysitter or nanny. I have experience with children of all ages and hold a certification in first aid, ensuring that I can provide safe and quality care. Caring for children is extremely important to me because it allows me to positively impact their lives and contribute to their development. I have a true passion for watching children grow, learn, and have fun. Helping to shape their experiences and providing a safe and loving environment is deeply rewarding. Each interaction brings me joy and fulfillment, and I am committed to making a difference in their lives.

I am originally from the beautiful island of St.Lucia , and I enjoy visiting whenever the time allows. I enjoy the great outdoors, working in my garden and planting new plants and seeds; personally I believe it is important to take advantage of the fresh air. I have two children who have recently graduated from college. I am also a creative person, this led me to attend Penn Foster to pursue a certification in Child Development, although I had to defer due to personal reasons. However, as a childcare provider, I enjoy sharing my love of the outdoors and creativity/art with kids. Most recently, I have cared for a 4 year old which included watching him and preparing minor snacks/light housekeeping. I think it's important to provide children with a fun, fulfilling and enriched environment. I am an enthusiastic and responsible person and look forward to meeting you and your kids! I am currently looking for jobs within the areas of Maplewood,South Orange, and Union vicinity.

Hello Parents! Thank you for visiting my profile. My name is Amanda! I am a currently a freelance pet sitter, and babysitter of 10 plus years. As a New York Native I know how to navigate through the MTA system and the neighborhoods of each borough. I am CPR/First Aid Certified and a non-smoker. I am currently available for part time work, occasional care, one time jobs, overnight care, date nights, school vacations, and holidays. One of my passions is caring for children, and animals. I have over 10 years of babysitter/nanny experience with children of all ages. Although, I’m pursing a degree in animal science in the future, caring for children is something I’ll always continue to do. I love getting to know children, watching them grow, and supporting their important milestones. Along with my childcare experience, I have 10 years of experience working as a pet sitter. My dream is to open a pet care, and babysitting company. Why not both! I have been caring for children since the age of 12. I started babysitting my younger brother at a young age, as I grew older I transitioned into caring for my younger cousins, and working as a babysitter/nanny. In addition, I have experience caring for children with ADHD, ADD, & Anxiety. Since 2019, I have worked with Camp Shiloh as a Counselor in Training, Mentor, and Volunteer. I was also a Camper there for several years as a kid, and it’s one of my the few places I call home. A fun fact about me, I love Harry Potter, and comic books. Some of the fun things I love to do with children are making art, building blocks, engaging in activities around the city, read books, dancing, baking, playing board games, going to parks, playing sports, playing with toys & more. In my free time I like to swim, skateboard, listen to music, learn new things, write, and ground myself in nature. Children love me as their babysitter because I’m empathetic, open minded, committed, and pretty funny. Your child’s safety is my upmost importance, and of course having fun. References can be provided. I wear masks at all times, and I carry hand sanitizer with me. Note: I am aware I have a two star review, if you would like to know more about why that review is on my page I am more than happy to explain the situation. Unfortunately, the parent never had the chance to meet nor interview me.

Cat H.
- 7 years paid experience
- 14 miles

Hi, I'm Cat! With over six years of nanny experience in Chicago, I'm eager to find my next family to support. I'd like to support a family for the summer or in a more full-time capacity - targeting 25-45 hours/week. I can guarantee one year and am open to extending my time with the family if we find it's a good fit. I've supported families as a full-time, part-time, or on-call nanny and have built lasting relationships with each. My reviews on Sitter City are sparse as I worked via family referral in Chicago and I'd be happy to provide references upon request. The bulk of my experience is in caring for children ages 18 months to 14 years and I've cared for 2-3 siblings at a time. Additionally, I have experience caring for children with autism and Down syndrome. I'm a patient, lighthearted, and organized caregiver. Having grown up on a farm, I'm a big fan of the outdoors and encouraging free play both in and outside. I follow the child's lead. If they want to sit and play with the grass without talking, I'll follow. If they want to play a complex game of pretend with multiple moving pieces, I'll play whatever role necessary. If they're ready to start a game of soccer, I'll jump in. I value following their interests or needs for that day and am happy to design activities based on their curiosities. I'm nurturing and calm and aim to create environments that foster children's growth. I'm not there to babysit, but to listen to them, care for them, and help them learn. I don't like being on my phone in general, and am not on my phone around kids. I'd love to hop on a quick call to see if I am a good match for your family. I have received First Aid and CPR training in the past, and am happy to renew my certifications before joining a family. Thanks!
