Grace $18 per hour for 1 child
My name is Gracie. I was a part time babysitter/nanny for various families over 7 years before going full time corporate. I have worked with families in the city, and Oak Park/River Forest mostly as that is where I attended undergrad at Dominican University. My experience is with children aged newborn-13. I have ran errands, done pick-up/drop-off before, administered medicines, dealt with food allergies, tutored/e-learning and general activities. I have also house-sat and cared for pets while families were on vacation. Happy to provide references!

I am a creative, friendly college graduate who has 10+ years of experience (and currently am working part time at a preschool!). I have a passion for working with kids, and aim to bring a fun and energetic spirit each time I’m there whilst still keeping safety and your expectations the top priority. I love to be outside, crafts, and creative play!! I’m certified in CPR and First Aid and have my own transportation. Please reach out if you’d like to discuss further!!
Kim $25 per hour for 1 child
Hey there! I am a single mom with one daughter who is 7-years-old. I am a former foster mom in the Chicago area and now that my girl is in school all day I am looking to fill my time. I have cared for children of all ages and we have both a cat and dog so I am good with animals too! I believe in strong boundaries, little screen time and being silly and having fun. Enjoy your time out and know your little ones are safe and giggling
