Hi! I am a college student off for summer break and am looking to help out families in the area! I have a ton of experience in childcare from 2 months old to 12 years old. I have worked summer camps and babysat for various families for around 5 years, was an afterschool nanny for a kindergartener one year, worked in a daycare, and last summer nannied full time for a 3 month old. I have CPR/first aid certification and am open to anything! I love playing games and being outside with kids and doing whatever they are interested in. My family also has 2 dogs so I am super comfortable with pets.

Booked by 1 family in Kenilworth, IL

Hi! I'm Nya, I’m a sophomore in college. My passion for nurturing young minds led me to offer professional babysitting services. With regard to age groups, I have extensive experience with various developmental stages, ranging from early childhood to pre-adolescence. Whether it's fostering creativity with toddlers, or navigating the energetic world of elementary schoolers, I adapt my approach to suit each child's unique needs. When it comes to activities, I love sparking imagination through storytelling, crafting, and outdoor and indoor adventures. Additionally, my background in tutoring equips me to provide homework assistance and academic support.

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.”
