Greetings! I am First Aid and CPR Certified, and 37 years old. I have raised and trained two dogs, cared for seniors experiencing dementia and have 20 years experience caring for children of all ages. My strategy with kids (and seniors) is to slow down, answer all questions and give them options. As big sister to three boys, my entire childhood and young adulthood involved caring for kids. Once I left home, I became a certified post-partum doula, then went on to nanny full time. I became more curious about teaching kids, so became a theater teacher for kids ages 3-11 for 6 years. I am looking to build some caretaking relationships for children, pets and seniors.
“Emily is an empathetic, creative, and compassionate caregiver. I feel completely at peace when she spends time with my son, because I know that her attention is on him fully, and she is so playful and engaging. Her patience is enviable and it is obvious she has spent much of her life around little ones- keeping them safe and encouraging play. I know this, because I have had the joy of watching them interact, and I see how focused she is on him and very tuned into how he likes to interact with the world; but also because my son begs to spend time with her. I would be delighted to speak with anyone who is considering hiring her.”
Hi there! My name is Emily and I am originally from the Quad Cities but have been living in Chicago for the past 2.5 years after graduating from the University of Kansas. I have experience babysitting and part-time nannying children of all ages. During prior jobs I loved coming up with creative activities, going on neighborhood walks, and playing games in the park. I am also comfortable taking care of animals. I grew up with a dog and I have a cat of my own. In my free time I enjoy sailing on Lake Michigan, reading anything from thrillers to memoirs, and painting what ever is inspiring to me in the moment.
Hello! My name is Mary Kate, and I would love to be your next babysitter. I have experience working with school-aged children as both a camp counselor and a tutor, so I prioritize creating an environment that balances learning and fun. I’m CPR and First Aid certified, and as a creative person, I love incorporating art, imagination, and hands-on activities into playtime. I recently graduated from the University of Michigan and am currently taking a gap year before attending graduate school. During this time, I’m working full-time as a Student Success Coach with AmeriCorps and am especially interested in supporting families on weekends. I’m easygoing, reliable, and flexible, and I would love the opportunity to get to know you and your family!
Hello, my name is Isabel. I currently work for Chicago Public Schools. I hold a paraprofesional position working with students in grade levels kinder to 8th. My past experience includes 10 plus years in all healthcare settings including homecare. I love animals and don't mind helping with light household duties. I look forward to helping where I am needed. Thank you
Hello! My name is Gilary (pronounced Hilary). I have been taking care of children for as long as I can remember! Whether it’s been for family, friends, or as a paid caretaker. Babysitting/nannying was how I put myself through college, caring for children from infancy to preteens. In 2[removed], I worked as a 4th and 5th grade teacher assistant at a small elementary school. I myself have 6 nephews and nieces, all of whom I have cared for since they were babies. They’re all a bit older now, so I definitely miss having littles in my life! I work as a freelance grant writer, and I am also an actor in Chicago’s vibrant storefront theater scene. This makes me quite flexible and available for daytime care. I also do a bit of dogwalking on the side, so I’m more than happy to care for your pups and pets as well. All in all, I am comfortable with all ages ranging from infancy to teens. I have a car and an Illinois driver's license. I can cook kid-friendly meals, and for school-aged children, am happy to help with homework. I love to do arts and crafts, like knitting, crocheting, scrapbooking, baking, and singing. For any other inquiries, don't hesitate to reach out!
“Gilary is an engaging, kind, detail-oriented caregiver. She was always reliable and responsible when taking care of my toddler. She’s friendly, fun, and easy to communicate with. We loved having her be our regular and occasional sitter, and anyone would be lucky to have her with their kids!”
