Find a babysitter in Lyons, IL

Hi there! I’m Elena — a caring, dependable, and bilingual (English & Spanish) nanny with over 10 years of experience working with children of all ages, from infants to teens. I hold a Bachelor’s degree in Psychology with a minor in Hispanic Studies, along with a Master’s in Business Administration. My passion for childcare started early — I have 17 nieces and nephews (yes, 17!), and I’ve been helping care for them since I was young. Since then, I’ve worked with many families, creating safe, fun, and nurturing environments where kids can grow, learn, and just be themselves. I’m fully up to date on vaccines and always prioritize safety and open communication. Whether you need help with homework, meal prep, bedtime routines, or fun educational activities, I’m here to support your family however I can. Looking forward to meeting you and your little ones!

Hello! My name is Gilary (pronounced Hilary). I have been taking care of children for as long as I can remember! Whether it’s been for family, friends, or as a paid caretaker. Babysitting/nannying was how I put myself through college, caring for children from infancy to preteens. In 2[removed], I worked as a 4th and 5th grade teacher assistant at a small elementary school. I myself have 6 nephews and nieces, all of whom I have cared for since they were babies. They’re all a bit older now, so I definitely miss having littles in my life! I work as a freelance grant writer, and I am also an actor in Chicago’s vibrant storefront theater scene. This makes me quite flexible and available for daytime care. I also do a bit of dogwalking on the side, so I’m more than happy to care for your pups and pets as well. All in all, I am comfortable with all ages ranging from infancy to teens. I have a car and an Illinois driver's license. I can cook kid-friendly meals, and for school-aged children, am happy to help with homework. I love to do arts and crafts, like knitting, crocheting, scrapbooking, baking, and singing. For any other inquiries, don't hesitate to reach out!

Hi! My name’s Marinna, I’m a student athlete at the University of Illinois Chicago! I’m a very reliable, on-time, hardworking person. Growing up in an intense sport taught me how to manage stressful situations, as well as staying organized. Working with kids or animas is a way I love spending my free time, and making an earning for myself. I’ve always loved being around kids. My summer jobs always consist of being a nanny, last year I worked with a family of 4 children all summer. I also work with families year round, I’ve had experience with three-year olds and one-year olds. I even was a teacher assistant in a third grade classroom, which taught me so much on managing so many kids at once. All of these experiences helped me understand a lot about how to value consistency, patience, and attentiveness-ensuring children’s safety. Whether I'm assisting with bedtime, planning activities, or simply ensuring that your child feels taken care of, I’d love to help!
