Hello! My name is Natalia🙂. I am currently pursuing my Bachelor's in Music at the University of Illinois Chicago (UIC). I have over 10 years of experience in childcare (0-14 yrs old) and in household services. My standard rate is $23 per hour for babysitting, with an additional $5 per hour per child. What’s included: • Light housekeeping (cooking, dishes, vacuuming, tidying up) • Planned activities tailored to your child’s interests • Homework assistance For additional cleaning services such as laundry, I charge an extra $5 per hour. Overnight Babysitting: If you need overnight care, I typically charge my standard hourly rate for awake hours and a flat rate for sleeping hours. The flat rate usually ranges from $75 to $200, depending on the duration and responsibilities. I am bilingual in English and Spanish and would be more than happy to teach your children Spanish! If you’re looking for a more structured learning experience, I can always create a personalized lesson plan🌻 As for Petcare I am allergic to cats, however if you have a dog (or bunny, etc) I can care for them as well. It will be an additional $3 added to the rate per hour. I love kids and caring for them🙂❤️. I will keep them entertained, engaged, and guard them as my own. Whether you need a time out with friends, a planned day out, or any help watching them while you work or run errands, I am the person to call 💯👍🏽🩷 Tips are always appreciated after services 💫

I’m a deeply compassionate nanny and educator with over fifteen years of experience caring for children of all ages, with a special focus on infants and toddlers. I hold a Master’s degree in Education and am a graduate of Loyola University Maryland and the University of Illinois . My approach is child-led and rooted in observation, allowing each child’s interests to guide learning, play, and daily routines. I’ve worked as an assistant director at a Montessori-inspired farm school and as a full-time nanny here in California for an infant and a toddler. I’m fluent in Spanish, a musician, and I love incorporating music, art, and time outdoors. I care deeply about children’s emotional well-being and strive to create calm, nurturing environments where children feel safe, supported, and encouraged to grow.

I am a junior psychology student at UIC with a 4.0 GPA. I started babysitting when I was in 8th grade. I have worked as a lifeguard and swim instructor for four years and maintain a first aid and CPR certification from the Red Cross Association. I currently work as a behavioral technician with children who have Autism Spectrum Disorder.

Hi! My name is Julieta. I am a 23 year old college student, studying Nutrition and applying to Medical School this upcoming May. I have experience with babysitting since I was in middle school and leading after school clubs with younger kids who are learning how to read or teaching them Spanish and culture. I also have worked at a Children's museum for almost two years. As well as, making kids comfortable while working in the ER as a tech. I love to have fun with kids by interacting with any activity they love to do whether its joining in on their imagination, games, crafts, or going outside to play! I am a huge believer in exercise, being outdoors, and staying healthy so I am open to going to parks or simply playing outside. In addition, I am super informed about allergies and food sensitivities so I would love to know what I can do to ensure safety. Been to many medical emergency/CPR trainings as well. I am a great communicator whether it is through the phone or texting so I can keep you updated! My focus is to make you as parents and the kids as comfortable as possible. As of pets I grew up always around animals whether it was having a 160 pound Newfoundland dog to a mini Australian Shepard and a elderly cat or even having a bearded dragon once! I love to take dogs on a walks or simply playing with them. I have a cat of my own and our favorite thing to do together is take naps :)

Hello, I am an energetic mom who has a flexible schedule, working mostly from home. I share custody of my young son, so I have some free time to work with other families. I welcome the opportunity to provide your family with trustworthy and experienced high-quality care. I own a car and drive so I am reliable and punctual. I can drive kids when needed; there is already a booster seat in the car and a car seat can be arranged. I am able to help with homework and if desired, can bring my own bag of kid-friendly activities. I have done a lot of different activities with kids: crafts, baking, baseball, Lego, singing, dancing, card and board games, biking, reading, outings to museums, etc. In addition to my experience, I am certified in Adult & Pediatric First Aid, CPR, and AED. I am a non-smoker and every year, I get flu and COVID vaccines. I just joined the platform so I had some references leave reviews here. They have seen me taking care of my son and their children at the same time. I hope to meet your family soon!

I’ve worked with kids of all ages, including past experience as a nanny for a family with five children and working at Schaumburg Kasper, an after-school program where I helped lead group activities and assist with homework.

Hi! My name’s Marinna, I’m a student athlete at the University of Illinois Chicago! I’m a very reliable, on-time, hardworking person. Growing up in an intense sport taught me how to manage stressful situations, as well as staying organized. Working with kids or animas is a way I love spending my free time, and making an earning for myself. I’ve always loved being around kids. My summer jobs always consist of being a nanny, last year I worked with a family of 4 children all summer. I also work with families year round, I’ve had experience with three-year olds and one-year olds. I even was a teacher assistant in a third grade classroom, which taught me so much on managing so many kids at once. All of these experiences helped me understand a lot about how to value consistency, patience, and attentiveness-ensuring children’s safety. Whether I'm assisting with bedtime, planning activities, or simply ensuring that your child feels taken care of, I’d love to help!
