Find an emergency babysitter in Bartlett, IL

Hi families! My name is Clarissa and I'm an experienced kindergarten & preschool teacher in the western suburbs. I'm patient, reliable, and nurturing and dedicated to creating fun, safe environments for kids. I'm also bilingual and have a dog named Meatball. I am offering child care, senior care, and household services.

Hi there! My name is Caitlyn and I am 30 years old with over 13 years of true nannying and babysitting experience. I first started babysitting neighborhood kids at age 15, quickly becoming the go to babysitter on my block for date nights. I was a full time nanny for 2 kiddos (7 & 10) in Evanston the summer of 2014, and a full time overnight camp counselor the summer before that for a cabin full of 8 year olds. Right after graduating from Loyola in 2017, I became a teachers assistant at a private preschool/daycare in Lakeview, helping out with all classrooms from newborns-5 years. Experienced with children of all ages, I love supporting continuous development and growth and take a lot of pride in my ability to connect with and teach children; I am punctual, experienced, and would like to think lots of fun :) After working in tech sales for 5 years, my heart called me back to early childhood, and after being a short term nanny for a 3mo old girl before she began daycare full time last summer, I began teaching in Children’s House (3-5 years) at Guidepost Montessori. My fiancé and I just moved to Fox River Grove to be closer to family, so I’m available in the surrounding areas most weekday evenings after 5:30-6pm, and occasional weekends! Can’t wait to hear from you :)

I am from Geneva, and I am passionate about working with children and helping them learn and grow. My friends and family would describe me as caring, patient, responsible, and hardworking. I enjoy creating positive and supportive environments where children feel safe, encouraged, and included. I am currently attending Bradley University, where I am studying Elementary Education with endorsements in Special Education and ESL (English as a Second Language). Through both my education and hands-on experience, I have developed strong communication, leadership, and problem-solving skills, along with a passion for supporting children of all abilities and backgrounds. I have over 5 years of experience babysitting children from kindergarten through 6th grade, providing a safe, caring, and engaging environment while supporting daily routines, homework help, meals, and recreational activities. I also worked for 2 years at a summer camp with 1st–3rd grade students, where I supervised group activities, encouraged teamwork, and helped create a fun and positive experience for campers. In addition, I completed 1 year of an elementary teaching internship as a teacher assistant in a local 3rd grade classroom. In this role, I supported the classroom teacher, assisted students with assignments and learning activities, helped manage classroom routines, and gained hands-on experience working in an educational setting. I also have 2 years of volunteer experience with children with special needs through the Fox Valley Special Recreation Association, assisting with softball, pickleball, bowling, and game nights for children in kindergarten through 5th grade. Additionally, I have 1 year of experience babysitting a 2nd grade child with special needs, where I provided individualized care, patience, support, and assistance with daily activities. These experiences have strengthened my communication, leadership, adaptability, and caregiving skills while allowing me to build meaningful relationships with children and families.

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.

I am currently a freshman at Elmhurst University in Illinois, and play for the volleyball team. I am studying marketing. I grew up in Las Vegas and attend Bishop Gorman High School. I come to Vegas during school breaks and work there as well as in Elmhurst. My older sister has two kids that I have been helping with since I was 11. They are now the ages of 7 and 1. I drive now so I take them to their extracurricular activities and entertain them with fun activities including crocheting, knitting, painting, coloring, playing outside, as well as cooking. I am super comfortable helping with running errands and cleaning around the house. I have 2 cats and 3 dogs so working with animals is no problem! I love playing with animals as well as taking them out for walks!
