Find a babysitter in Golf, IL

Hi, my name is Janneth! Originally from Mexico, I’m bilingual in English and Spanish, and I’ve been caring for children since I was 15 years old. Babysitting has always been more than just a job for me, it’s a beautiful way to connect with kids and be welcomed into their world through kindness, patience, and respect. I remember how challenging it was for my parents to find someone they could truly trust to care for me and my siblings. That’s why I take this role seriously and always show up with the same love and respect that my parents wished for us. I love spending time outdoors, doing puzzles, coloring, and listening to music. I’m also great with dogs, I’m happy to help with Spanish homework or practice! Your child’s safety, joy, and well-being are my top priorities, and I look forward to being someone you can count on.

I am the oldest of six children and was more of a parent than a sister to all of them. The two youngest kids are 15 and 13 years younger than I am. I love children and have always enjoyed being around them. I am a trained Chef and can cook or help prepare meals if needed. I am also a Chef Instructor and Assistant Food Stylist. At this time I am interested in occasional babysitting to supplement my freelance income. Being able to hang out with kids would be a fun and fulfilling way to do that.

Hi parents! I’m Imari—a creative, calm, and joyful presence based in Rogers Park. I’m a mom to the sweetest toddler and a longtime caregiver with a deep love for little ones and all the beautiful and chaotic moments that come with raising them. I began my career in New York, working in creative advertising in fashion, before stepping away from the industry to pursue passion projects that reconnected me to my roots in Belize. Four years ago, love brought me to Chicago, where I’ve built a new chapter with my little family and embraced a life centered on caregiving and creativity. I have experience with children of all ages, from newborns to preteens, and I’m well-versed in feeding routines, naps, school transitions, bedtime wind-downs, and all the small moments in between that make a big difference. I show up with patience, creativity, and a deep sense of care (and usually a few art projects or songs in my back pocket!). I’d love to connect with families looking for someone nurturing, organized, and genuinely passionate about being part of their village. Let’s chat if you think I might be the right fit for yours!

Hi there! My name is Emily and I am currently a student at Northeastern Illinois University! I am an undergrad student specializing in social work while working as a part-time sitter/house manager. I love children and have always found my way into many children’s hearts. I have previous baby sitting experience as well as years experience working with the Chicago Park District as recreational leader for their play camp program that gave me the opportunity to work alongside 20 amazing children from the ages of 4-5 in the community. Being a camper myself when I was younger I learned the importance of having the people around children teaching them values and Influencing them in the right ways. I am a very creative person in my free time and always like to have a good time! Arts and crafts are a speciality of mine! Plus knowing about the latest toys for the kiddos!
