Jasmyne 4 reviews
$25 per hour for 1 child

Hi Family, I’m Jasmyne a Chicago native and the proud second-oldest of six siblings — so you could say childcare has always been a big part of my life! I also have two adorable nephews I help care for regularly, which keeps my hands (and heart) full. In addition to years of hands-on family experience, I’ve also worked at a daycare, where I cared for children of different ages and helped plan fun, educational activities. On Sundays, I teach kids’ Bible studies at my church, which has deepened my patience, creativity, and love for helping children learn and grow. I’m married to my high school sweetheart, and we share a strong sense of family and community. I bring that same dependable, loving energy to every family I work with. Whether it’s playing outside, helping with homework, or creating crafts, I strive to make every child feel safe, valued, and happy. I’d love to meet you and your little ones!

Jasmyne and I used to be coworkers and next-door neighbors. She watched my son from time to time, and he absolutely loved having her as a babysitter. He always said she was fun—and she never forgot the snacks! I would confidently recommend Jasmyne to anyone in need of a babysitter; she truly cares for children as if they were her own.

I am currently pursuing a masters in occupational therapy at DePaul University and have a passion for helping children. Despite being in grad school, I’m a child at heart, enjoy watching kid movies/cartoons, playing outside, painting, and board games. I have experience with younger siblings, neurodivergent kids, and usually babysit ages 1-12, but am looking forward to gaining more experience across all ages!

Booked by 1 family in Cicero, IL

Hello! My name is Audrey and I am a licensed OT currently working in schools. I am looking for additional hours outside of work and to save some money. I’d love to help out you and your family! I have worked with children since I was a teenager, babysitting kids in the neighborhood and helping raise my younger brother with autism spectrum disorder. In high school, I nannied for two families for years. Their children ranged from 2-10 years old. Since living in Chicago (2020) I’ve worked with two families very closely to help their 5 month old babies in those early developmental stages. I am confident in working with children of all ages and abilities. As a school based OT, I work with students ages 2-22 years old. I enjoy providing experiences outside, crafting, art projects, sensory play, imaginary play, going for walks, and more. I am confident in my abilities and have a lot to offer to your family. I am vaccinated and boosted. I also have a car. I usually get home around 5 pm on week days, my weekends are usually free. Please contact me if you have any further questions. Have a great day!!! ~ Audrey

We love Audrey! She is so attentive and patient with our 11-month-old and has been taking care of him for a few months now. We highly recommend booking with her if she is available!

Booked by 1 family in Cicero, IL

Hi! My name is Emily. I'm a 4th year medical student looking to connect with my community and offset some of medical school's high costs. I am offering child care, dog care, and household services. During my training I have cared for pediatric patients in both acute (emergency), inpatient, and clinic settings. I love working with kids and am currently interviewing with pediatric residency programs! I am BLS certified for infants, children, and adults. I have experience babysitting for children between 2 months and 12 years. I believe it's my duty as a caregiver to help create a safe and magical world for children to explore. When babysitting I love taking the kids to explore outside, reading books, and making up any wacky games I can think of! I am a dog owner and feel comfortable caring for most dogs. I have a car and am happy to do any appointment/activity drop off, grocery shopping, cooking, or cleaning needed in the household.
