Meet college nannies and sitters from Northwestern University

I’m a warm, reliable, and attentive caregiver who genuinely enjoys helping families feel supported. I’m calm, patient, and easy to communicate with, and I take safety and trust seriously. I enjoy spending time with kids through play, reading, homework help, and keeping routines running smoothly. I’m comfortable helping with meals, tidying up, and caring for pets as well. I show up on time, stay present, and do my best to make both kids and parents feel at ease.

I raised two children as a single parent and have some experience as a professional sitter. I am a freelance writer looking for extra income. I have an advanced degree and can tutor in many subjects, especially writing. I have also had dogs most of my adult life and have some experience with cats.

I'm an experienced mother of three and grandmother of 5, also have been teaching Sunday school at Second Unitarian Church of Chicago for several years. I enjoy being with children and treat them with respect and care. I started babysitting when I was 13 and now that I'm older, I'm enjoying continuing to care for babies and children. I still have lots of energy! Susan

I’m a retired professional and Northwestern graduate with a caring, dependable nature and years of hands-on experience helping seniors and families. I cared for my father through his Alzheimer’s journey and now assist my 85-year-old mother-in-law and 86-year-old stepmom with daily needs — from shopping and meals to yardwork and companionship. I understand the challenges of caring for aging parents and know how to connect with those facing memory issues in a calm, positive way. I keep a clean, organized home, am an excellent cook, and a very efficient grocery shopper. I also bring over 40 years of experience in yard care and maintenance, ensuring that both homes and outdoor spaces are well cared for. In addition to senior care, I’m available for pet sitting, house sitting, and general household help. My goal is to make life easier, safer, and more enjoyable — and to bring dependable support to families who could use an extra hand.

Hi! I am a 23 year old recent college graduate who is planning on starting nursing school this summer. I grew up as the eldest sibling and eldest cousin of our family, so I have had ample experience caring for younger children of all ages. I also have a 4-year-old golden retriever at home and love working with pets. My friends would describe me as energetic, optimistic, creative and responsible. I grew up babysitting children of family members and family friends ranging from 3 months to 12 years old. I also volunteered at the Post Anesthesia Care Unit at Lurie Children's Hospital for a summer, where I helped toddlers and young children recover after surgeries. Whether this meant playing bedside coloring book games, telling a funny story, taking patient temperatures, assisting with procedures and more -I have plenty of experience working with children and remaining calm in a high pressure setting. I am excited to use my experience to best care for your children and pets!

Hi! My name is Ashley, and I am a 23-year-old Northwestern University graduate who has extensive experience in child care. As a previous full-time camp coordinator, tutor, children's dance instructor, and theatrical performer for young audiences, I love engaging with children and meeting them where they are at. I am very experienced with NYC public transportation, so I am able to do pick-ups and drop-offs at school, extracurriculars, playdates, etc. I am also super organized and clean, so taking care of household tasks is a plus!
