Hello! My name is Joanna ! I am 28 years old with a bachelors degree in Early Childhood Education. I have been babysitting since I was about 13 years old for teachers from my elementary school to my high school teachers. I have always been interested in children which is why I persuaded my degree and currently a second grade teacher within CPS! I love spending time with children and seeing them smile! Making them smile and me being the reason makes me happy.

Booked by 37 families in Bridgeview, IL

Hello! My name is Kara, and I would be honored to support you and your family during this special time. I bring over 20 years of experience working with children, and my passion for caregiving began early watching my mother run a daycare from our home as a teenager. Since then, I’ve had the privilege of working with children of all ages in a variety of settings, including private homes, daycare centers, public schools, and an emergency youth shelter a role I found especially meaningful. I have spent over 15 years as a dedicated nanny (no longer working full-time in that role) and have since specialized as a Newborn Care Specialist (NCS) for the past 8 years and a Birth and Postpartum Doula for the past 5 years. Whether you need gentle, experienced overnight newborn care or doula support through birth and postpartum recovery, I’m here to help. I also offer occasional babysitting, depending on my availability. Please note: Rates vary depending on the type of care provided. Newborn Care Specialist and Doula services start at $45/hour. I look forward to connecting with you and supporting your growing family!

“Amazing caregiver, would trust Kara with my kids without blinking an eye. Will work with her again!”

Booked by 3 families in Bridgeview, IL

Hi, I'm Marci! I bring nurture, patience, reliability, and a fun-loving demeanor. I enjoy going for walks, organizational projects, spending time with family, and exploring the city. I welcome collaboration, open communication, and friendly demeanors of all. I nanny part-time during the day. I help foster environments and routines for children and families. My favorite part of the job is building connections with the children. I've cared for children from infant to preteen, however my care of focus has centered around children age 2 and younger. My experience is in elementary education, tutoring/homework help, private care, and live-out nanny. I create and foster consistent routines of learning and development through age-appropriate activities. Parents choose me as I’m direct in approach, proactive in planning, and prepared to jump in for a smooth transition for everyone. Children thrive in my care because I am attentive, patient, consistent, and use firm, but gentle boundaries. Safety is my focus. Spaces used are maintained. References available at request.

“Marci helped us out when we needed childcare last minute. We traveled into town and both myself and my husband needed to work which is tough with a highly active jet lagged baby. Marci was lovely she even had a few of her own things to amuse our son. She was great about communication and safety. I would 100% book her again. ”
