Hey there! I am a single mom with one daughter who is 7-years-old. I am a former foster mom in the Chicago area and now that my girl is in school all day I am looking to fill my time. I have cared for children of all ages and we have both a cat and dog so I am good with animals too! I believe in strong boundaries, little screen time and being silly and having fun. Enjoy your time out and know your little ones are safe and giggling

Hi families! My name is Isaly, and I am an elementary educator with (over 20 years) experience teaching and supporting children in both classroom and childcare settings. I have worked with children across a variety of ages and backgrounds, including experience in social-emotional learning, literacy support, enrichment activities, and structured care.

I’m comfortable helping with: -Infant and child supervision -Bedtime and evening routines -Reading and homework support -Educational/play-based activities -Meal/snack preparation -Outdoor activities and active play -Light tidying related to child care Families often appreciate that I bring both professional educational experience and genuine warmth into the spaces I work in.

I have been a pediatric speech language pathologist for 14 years. Prior to beginning my career, I had extensive baby-sitting experience. I will provide care for my nephews and niece regularly. I have extensive experience working with children with special needs, including Autism Spectrum Disorder. In addition to providing speech and language services, I am also a feeding therapist. I am CPR-certified. I am just looking to do some work slightly outside of my career-field.

I have several years of consistent babysitting experience with 3+ families in Chicago. Along the way, I’ve worked with many different personalities and family dynamics, helping me adapt easily and feel comfortable in any situation. I am also a regular pet sitter, having stayed in the owners' home overnight regularly and making day visits to care for their Bernedoodles (ages ~6 months to 3+ years). For over three consecutive years, I cared for a family with three children under the age of 7 in downtown Chicago, multiple days a week. My responsibilities included getting them ready, cooking meals, taking them to the park and library, and supporting their daily routines. Through their parents’ recommendation, I went on to babysit for additional families, including a set of twins and a brother and sister close in age, both under 10. I’ve also worked as a student tutor for several years at Polaris Charter Academy in Chicago’s West Humboldt Park neighborhood and previously served as a volunteer soccer coach for kids with special needs. I bring strong skills in routine-building, meal prep, tutoring support, and creating a safe, engaging environment where kids can have fun while continuing to grow. I also previously trained as a lifeguard and have completed CPR training in the past, which I plan to refresh. I’m patient, attentive, and focused on helping kids feel known, supported, and confident while in my care. Being part of a child’s growth and seeing them discover the world around them is incredibly meaningful to me and has kept my passion for babysitting strong over the years. Some of the most rewarding moments are watching a child light up as they master a new skill or seeing their personality shine more clearly with each passing year. As a shy child growing up, I still remember the babysitters who made me feel understood and supported, and I strive to be that same steady, positive presence for the kids I care for.

Hi - My name is Irene and I'm currently a professional that is working in between jobs. I am offering child care, senior care, pet care and household services. I love being a babysitter and have been watching newborns, infants, toddlers, and kids since I was 12 years old. My responsibilities have included driving to/from school, crafts, tutoring, and even dance parties. :) I also work as a household assistant and can cook, clean, and run errands. I have been a caretaker for my own grandparents and mother and am comfortable with senior care. I can cook, clean up and keep them company. I love all animals and would be a happy caretaker to them!!
