Im a nanny of 4, for over 10 years, with extensive experience taking care of twins. I am looking for part time and occasional jobs. I am also a mom of 4. I love kids and I especially miss taking care of babies.I have a degree in English and am passionate about language development. I love music, art, baseball, and my two little doggies who fill my days with love. I have been babysitting part time for the same families for over 7 years, and have over 10 years of babysitting experience.

So sweet and helpful! You could tell immediately that she is such a kind person and just who you want watching after your children

I am a first grade teacher who has been teaching for 14 years. I live in Bridgeport but I babysit all over the city. I have a car so I can provide my own transportation. Families of the children that I babysit for have praised me for being fun, firm, and fair. I truly love kids and can’t wait to meet your family!

We used Lisa for the first time and she easily connected with our kids and had no issues. Our daughter was asking where Lisa was the next morning and said she had a great time with her!

Hi, I'm Cece (short for Mareecia)! I'm a babysitter, nanny, and tutor with over 8 years of experience, combining structured learning with warmth and creativity. I'm open to all ages, though I'm most comfortable and experienced with children ages 2-10. My experience spans from summer camp counseling (ages 1-10) to remote tutoring in reading, writing, and study skills (ages 6-12). I offer more than just childcare: I'm a tutor + nanny in one, providing homework help, engaging activities, and a calm, positive routine to support your child's growth. Beyond caregiving, I bring a high level of professionalism and reliability from my corporate background at JPMorgan and Accenture. I'm also a writer, creator, and outdoor enthusiast who enjoys hiking and snowboarding. Currently, I'm learning Spanish, Italian, and French. Top Skills: Structured Routines: Skilled at creating calm, predictable schedules. Positive Engagement: Using redirection and enthusiasm to create a great environment. Academic Support: Expert in reading/writing for ages 6-12. I'm passionate about making a difference in children's lives and would love to connect with your family!

CeCe is on it! She arrived ready to play with the girls (6 and 3). She asked for emergency contact info and then took the girls to the park as my husband and I made our way out. The girls had a fun night with her. There were no issues with the bedtime routine. They want her back for sure!

Hi parents! I’m Imari—a creative, calm, and joyful presence based in Rogers Park. I’m a mom to the sweetest toddler and a longtime caregiver with a deep love for little ones and all the beautiful and chaotic moments that come with raising them. I began my career in New York, working in creative advertising in fashion, before stepping away from the industry to pursue passion projects that reconnected me to my roots in Belize. Four years ago, love brought me to Chicago, where I’ve built a new chapter with my little family and embraced a life centered on caregiving and creativity. I have experience with children of all ages, from newborns to preteens, and I’m well-versed in feeding routines, naps, school transitions, bedtime wind-downs, and all the small moments in between that make a big difference. I show up with patience, creativity, and a deep sense of care (and usually a few art projects or songs in my back pocket!). I’d love to connect with families looking for someone nurturing, organized, and genuinely passionate about being part of their village. Let’s chat if you think I might be the right fit for yours!

Imari was wonderful with my 4.5 year old On time and had a great evening while my husband and I were out. Can’t wait to have her back.

My name is Laurelai and I am a former speech-language pathologist with experience working clinically with ages 3-14 and experience babysitting all ages. I now work full-time in medical education/administration, and am looking for one-time or as-needed babysitting opportunities. I grew up with three much younger siblings so I have been around children my whole life! I have worked as a child caretaker in a church, a toddler room supervisor, a nanny, and I have been babysitting for many years. I am CPR/First Aid certified for all ages (infant-adult). I have intermediate sign language experience. I have worked with multiples (twins and triplets) and children with special needs including cerebral palsy and oppositional/defiant disorder. I have experience working with infants, toddlers, and school-aged children. In college I minored in vocal performance because I love to sing! I also played violin for 10+ years. I love to play games, read books, visit parks, sing songs and have fun! I provide services throughout the city of Chicago. **At this time I am not available for school pick-ups/drop-offs or recurring positions. I am flexible on nights and weekends. Feel free to reach out about last-minute or one-time needs!** Up-to-date on all vaccinations including COVID-19 & annual flu shot.
