Find a babysitter in Evergreen Park, IL

Hi, my name is Margarita, and I’m 29 years old. I’ve been babysitting for 13 years. Growing up in a large family as the third of seven children, I naturally developed a passion for helping care for my younger siblings. Over the years, I’ve gained experience babysitting both for my own family and for others. I’ve also worked in a kids' room at a gym, (happened for about 4 years) supervising children of all ages—sometimes up to 10 at once! I truly enjoy working with kids and love watching them grow and knowing I’ve contributed positively to their development. In addition to my childcare experience, I’m a proud mom to two little ones: a 5-year-old son named Ace and a 4-year-old daughter named Alaia. Also currently fostering a 1 year old baby girl who we are hoping to adopt soon! I also have 10 years of experience in housekeeping. For the past 4 years, I’ve been working full-time in the human resources department of a nonprofit organization, handling payroll.

My name is Andrea. My history includes babysitting on occasions for families in the Chicago area during undergrad. I speak English and Spanish fluently. I am CPR certified, BS from DePaul University and MA from Roosevelt University.

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 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!
