Find a babysitter in Chicago, IL

My passion for caring for others started at a young age through babysitting, where I learned how important it is to be patient, responsible, attentive, and supportive. Caring for children of different ages and personalities taught me how to stay calm, adapt to different situations, and make sure the people in my care always felt safe and comfortable. Those same qualities have carried with me into my career as an ICU nurse, where I now care for patients during some of their most challenging and vulnerable moments. Whether it’s providing hands-on care, offering reassurance, or staying calm in a critical situation, I truly enjoy being someone others can rely on. My experiences have shaped me into a compassionate, dependable, and adaptable caregiver, and I’m grateful to be in a profession where I can make a difference in people’s lives every day.

Hi! I’m Sam, a mom who loves working with kids of all ages, from infants to teens. I’m currently homeschooling my son, so I’m primarily available for evening babysitting, date nights, and occasional sitting. I have experience caring for multiple children at once and am comfortable around all kinds of pets. I also have reliable transportation, making scheduling a little easier for your family. I’d love to help your family enjoy a night out, knowing your kids are in caring and capable hands!

I’m a theater artist with a Bachelor’s degree from Northwestern University. Now a teaching artist with Mudlark Theater and Chicago Children’s Theater, I’ve finished training to work with kids on the autism spectrum and other disabilities. I aim to make every child I work with confident in social, emotional, and leadership skills. I am happy to run errands and do light housework in addition to watching your little one. I can also incorporate my Spanish skills as much as possible — or my French (intermediate) and ASL (beginner) skills. I’ve worked with kids K-12 from camps to classes to babysitting my own young family members. In my spare time I love to walk my dog and spend time with my adorable nephews and niece!

Hi! My name is Natalya and I am a Research assistant and student at UIC. I work as a Nursing tech at Northwestern twice a week. I am primarily available for occasional babysitting on weekend days and week nights! I’ve worked with high school students previously for two years in Chicago and for a year in Madrid, Spain. I am the second oldest of five girls so I have been taking care of younger siblings my whole life. I began babysitting about 12 years ago. I also worked as a nanny for one family for four years in college. I am hoping to eventually become a pediatrician! In my free time I love to read, run, and drink good coffee or tea.

Hello! I'm Rachael :) I'm a teacher so I'm available evenings/days off school! Also looking for a summer 2026 nanny job! About my childcare background: I have a degree in education and I currently work in a school reading and math intervention. I've previously worked as a nanny for several years and I have lots of experience with childcare. About me: In addition to my teaching job, I also work as a tour guide. When I'm not working, I have several hobbies such as classical music (I'm a violinist), sewing, and cooking. I love animals too! Please let me know if there is any illness in the home before I arrive. I work several jobs and even a slight illness can significantly affect my ability to make a living. An illness isn't an automatic "no" but I need to be able to assess the situation before I am exposed. Of course, I will extend the same courtesy to you and your family and will always be up front about any symptoms I may be experiencing as well. The safety of your children/family/pets is a top priority for me. Got my latest covid/flu shots September 2025! Tdap vaccine January 2025 No allergies
