Meet college nannies and sitters from DePaul University

Hi families! My name is Taylor and I recently moved to the Lincoln Park area to study Journalism at DePaul university. I have always adored kids and have been babysitting for seven years. I have also worked various other jobs so I understand true responsibility and commitment. I was a lifeguard as well so I have received training in first aid and CPR. I love fine arts, staying active, and reading! Incorporating these things along with your kids interests is always a blast! I love having fun while remaining communicative and safe. My experience has ranged from all summer nannying jobs to occasional date night sitting. Moreover, I have worked with 4 month olds to 13 year olds. I am very flexible, adaptive, and always willing to work with your family to create the best environment. Please feel free to reach out for further questions! :) (I am having some issues with my calendar showing correct availability so please reach out with questions)

I'm a full-time social work graduate student looking for part or full-time babysitting positions. I have over 10 years of experience babysitting and nannying, working with families that have children aged 1-15, and providing care to family pets. I am currently interning at a school, and have worked in educational settings for three years, providing instruction in social-emotional learning and English. I am passionate about working with children, and I use my practice as a social worker to provide a stable and caring environment for the kids I work with. I am happy to cook meals and help with homework as desired!

The only experience I have with children is as a Sunday school teacher for about a year

Hello! My name is Chloe and I've been working in childcare since I was practically a child myself! Nothing brings me more joy and fulfillment than caring for children, and watching them learn, play and grow. Outside of childcare, I am very passionate about art, theater and travel, and I incorporate these passions into my education and care. I love doing both structured and free form art activities with children, and I believe art, dance and music are fundamental to a child's development. I also have lived abroad in both Costa Rica and Guatemala, and enjoy speaking/teaching Spanish to the children I care for, while also opening them up to cultures from around the world. If you are looking for a nanny who is energetic, warm, creative, and will love your child like their own, then we might be a great fit!

Hi! I’m Annie, and I’m a recent graduate of DePaul University living in the suburbs of Chicago. I am offering childcare and household services. I've been babysitting since I was 14 years old and also have experience with teaching and daycare, as well as camp counseling for various ages. I especially love music and crafts, and I am happy to chat more about your child's needs and interests to make sure they are safe and having fun. I have an Illinois driver's license and am comfortable driving. I am Red Cross certified in first aid.

Hi there! I’m excited to share a bit about myself. I have over 10 years of childcare experience, rooted in my upbringing in a large Mexican family. As the oldest cousin on both sides, I've been surrounded by kids my whole life. My mom is one of seven, which means I have 25 cousins on her side alone, plus 8 more on my dad’s side! Growing up in this vibrant family environment instilled in me a deep love for caring for children. From babysitting my younger cousins to organizing fun activities, I’ve learned how to adapt to different personalities and needs. I believe that every child deserves a safe, nurturing, and fun atmosphere, and I strive to create that in every interaction. I’m passionate about fostering creativity, encouraging curiosity, and making lasting memories. I look forward to the opportunity to connect with your family!

Hi there! My name’s Mikyhia, and I recently graduated from DePaul University with a degree in African and Black Diaspora Studies and a minor in Political Science. I’ve always loved working with kids— I’ve spent years, before and during my time at university– mentoring, teaching, and caring for children and teens, from little ones in my community to older students in classroom and program settings. I’m passionate about helping children learn through creativity, whether that means storytelling, art projects, or imaginative play. My background as a creative professional and instructor has taught me how to engage kids in ways that spark curiosity and confidence. I love designing fun, educational activities that combine play with learning — like mini art lessons, building projects, or creative writing games. Throughout my professional journey, I’ve worked in roles that required patience, leadership, and organization — from developing educational programs at DePaul to mentoring teens at the Best Buy Teen Tech Center. These experiences strengthened my belief that every child learns differently, and that creativity is one of the most powerful tools for growth and connection. I’m excited to bring that same energy, care, and imagination into your home — helping your little ones explore, create, and feel supported every step of the way. And a little fun fact about me to break the ice: I played the cello professionally for almost 10 years and would like to pick it up again someday (for now its a fun hobby of mine)
