My name is Janet. I am 33 years old. I work in a Head Start Program as an Associate Director of Family and Community Engagement. I am bilingual (Spanish speaking) and have a bachelors degree in Social Work. I have experience working with children of all ages. I consider myself a very responsible, fun and caring person. I have an 8 year old nephew and 5 year old niece whom I adore so much and are another reason why I enjoy caring for children. I have a car and am flexible with end time if needed. My schedule is very flexible if you are looking at a specific date please message me. I don’t have many updated reviews on this app since I have my regular families I book with but I can provide references if needed :) Please let me know if you have any questions. Thank you, Janet

Janet was great—very thoughtful and reliable. I really appreciated the updates. I’d happily book again.

My name is Laurelai and I am a former speech-language pathologist with experience working clinically with ages 3-14 and experience babysitting all ages. I now work full-time in medical education/administration, and am looking for one-time or as-needed babysitting opportunities. I grew up with three much younger siblings so I have been around children my whole life! I have worked as a child caretaker in a church, a toddler room supervisor, a nanny, and I have been babysitting for many years. I am CPR/First Aid certified for all ages (infant-adult). I have intermediate sign language experience. I have worked with multiples (twins and triplets) and children with special needs including cerebral palsy and oppositional/defiant disorder. I have experience working with infants, toddlers, and school-aged children. In college I minored in vocal performance because I love to sing! I also played violin for 10+ years. I love to play games, read books, visit parks, sing songs and have fun! I provide services throughout the city of Chicago. **At this time I am not available for school pick-ups/drop-offs or recurring positions. I am flexible on nights and weekends. Feel free to reach out about last-minute or one-time needs!** Up-to-date on all vaccinations including COVID-19 & annual flu shot.

Hi! My name is Natalya and I am a Research assistant and student at UIC. I work as a Nursing tech at Northwestern twice a week. I am primarily available for occasional babysitting on weekend days and week nights! I’ve worked with high school students previously for two years in Chicago and for a year in Madrid, Spain. I am the second oldest of five girls so I have been taking care of younger siblings my whole life. I began babysitting about 12 years ago. I also worked as a nanny for one family for four years in college. I am hoping to eventually become a pediatrician! In my free time I love to read, run, and drink good coffee or tea.

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.
