Find a babysitter in Chicago, IL

Hi, I’m Abby! I’ve been babysitting officially for the past 3 1/2 years, although, coming from a big family, I’ve been watching kids most of my life. I’m an artist and a college student. I started doing childcare in the nursery at my church when I was 12, and then worked as a summer camp counselor there until I was 14(stopped due to the pandemic). I was a camp counselor for Steve and Kate’s Camp during the summer of 2023 as well as this summer, and I’ve had various sitting jobs over the course of the past 3 years. I also do face painting for kids at parties sometimes too. I’m very creative, energetic, and open to new experiences, as well as a quick and diligent learner. In my free time, I roller skate, paint, play piano/guitar, practice makeup, play board games and video games, and do a little fashion design(amongst several other hobbies, haha). I also have experience taking care of cats and dogs and some senior caregiving, as well as elementary/middle school tutoring . I can also cook some basic meals, I’m pretty great at baking, and I know how to clean. I value making good connections with the kids I sit and their families, and I understand how much trust it takes to leave your child in someone else’s hands. I hope to be a great service to whomever I babysit for. :)

Hello my name is Stephanie and I'm a mother of two. I've lived in the West Town area my whole life and really enjoyed growing up on the same block. I have worked with children from the ages of 6 weeks through 8th grade. I have worked with children for a total of 16 years. I've been nanny for 10 years and worked as a lead teacher in the infants room at a childcare. I was an assistant teacher with preschool children ages 3-5 years old, coached sports such as soccer and floor hockey. I love working with children and engaging with them throughout the day with arts and crafts, reading books, singing, dancing, taking walks, going to the park, museums, overall making sure they had an awesome day. I completed two years of college in Early Childhood Education. As I had mentioned I 'am a mother of two boys.
