Jada $23 per hour for 1 child

Hi families! I’m Jada! I’m currently a nanny in Plainfield and looking to connect with families who need occasional babysitting, date-night care, or just some extra help here and there! (Not seeking recurring jobs.) I have 8 years of professional childcare experience working with children from newborns through school age, including several years as a lead teacher. I also have my bachelor’s degree in Early Childhood Studies and am CPR/First Aid certified. I’d describe myself as bubbly, patient, dependable, and very hands on. I love getting the kids out of the house, going on walks, reading, doing crafts, playing outside, and finding fun things to do based on their age and interests. I’m definitely more of a play based caregiver and prefer keeping kids engaged rather than relying on screens. Yes I dress up in costumes and play the board games with every kid I care for! About me: I enjoy reading, getting coffee, doing crafts, and spending time outdoors. I’d love to connect with some local families who are looking for a reliable sitter they can reach out to whenever they need an extra set of hands!

Haley $25 per hour for 1 child

Hi, I’m Haley! Growing up as the oldest of 5 children, my experience with child care started at a young age. I had the privilege of learning babysitting basics right at home, which made me ready to babysit neighbors and cousins throughout middle school and high school, college, and even post grad. Whether it be a date night here and there, all day nannying, or overnight care, caring for children has always been something I enjoy and excel at. I do believe my education and work experience allowed me to become an even better provider. At Loras College, I double majored in Public Relations and Spanish, studied abroad in Spain where I taught ESL, was part of the campus Peace & Justice Club, and worked as a Solid Waste Education intern. I thoroughly enjoyed teaching students about the importance of taking care of our earth. My experience in college very much shaped me into someone who wanted to use talents to do something moral and ethical with my time. This passion opened the door to what would become my career for the last 8 years: Parks and Recreation. I can’t put into words how much I loved being the Superintendent of Marketing at the Oak Brook Park District. The work, the people, serving the community, and being part of providing special memories to people aged 0-100 filled my cup with pure joy. I didn’t think anything could make me walk away from this career, until, I had my precious daughter in May of 2024. Life is full of surprises! As of September 2025, I am now a stay at home mom, who enjoys every second of the day with my child. Motherhood has reminded me how much I enjoy being with children, teaching them new things, going on adventures, and helping them grow. I am seeking a part time nanny position that would allow me bring my daughter with me. We promise to be the best care giver (and little friend) to your family! We also know how to prepare meals, clean up, and take care of cats and dogs. Please feel free to reach out to me at any time if you have questions or would like to speak to my references.

Booked by 3 families in Montgomery, IL

Hi, my name is Emily and I’m 20 I babysit alongside my serving job. And I take great pride in providing amazing childcare. I am the oldest of four kids. My mom actually decided to add the 4th one back in 2023 so I’ve been able to walk alongside her in the newborn/toddler age:) I love children and being intentional with our time such as doing crafts, going for walks/the park when the weather is nice or making learning fun. Naturally as an older sister, I have experience cooking, tiding up, helping with homework and driving kids to and from sports/school. I’ve also worked children’s ministries at church and provided childcare since I was 12 this ranged from nursery age to middle school age. minimal dog task can definitely be done as well!!
