Hello! I’m Letty, a Chicago native with a heart for caring for others. With a lifelong passion for nurturing children, I’ve become the go-to babysitter among friends and families, cherishing every moment spent guiding and supporting young minds. Recently, I’ve had the joy of caring for three families with children under 7, where I focused on creating safe, engaging, and loving environments. During college, I also taught 2nd graders at a local church, helping them develop a love for learning and growth. I am fluent in Spanish and happy to introduce or reinforce Spanish with your little one if you’d like. I’m also brushing up on my French. Families describe me as adaptable, reliable, and genuinely passionate about creating a nurturing atmosphere. I am fully vaccinated (COVID-19 + booster and the latest flu shot) and happy to provide references upon request. I’d love to connect and learn how I can best support your family’s needs. Please feel free to reach out. I’m flexible with scheduling and eager to be a trusted part of your journey.

Letty was absolutely lovely! So sweet and caring with our children and kept us updated throughout the night.

I am currently pursuing a masters in occupational therapy at DePaul University and have a passion for helping children. Despite being in grad school, I’m a child at heart, enjoy watching kid movies/cartoons, playing outside, painting, and board games. I have experience with younger siblings, neurodivergent kids, and usually babysit ages 1-12, but am looking forward to gaining more experience across all ages!

Hello! My name is Audrey and I am a licensed OT currently working in schools. I am looking for additional hours outside of work and to save some money. I’d love to help out you and your family! I have worked with children since I was a teenager, babysitting kids in the neighborhood and helping raise my younger brother with autism spectrum disorder. In high school, I nannied for two families for years. Their children ranged from 2-10 years old. Since living in Chicago (2020) I’ve worked with two families very closely to help their 5 month old babies in those early developmental stages. I am confident in working with children of all ages and abilities. As a school based OT, I work with students ages 2-22 years old. I enjoy providing experiences outside, crafting, art projects, sensory play, imaginary play, going for walks, and more. I am confident in my abilities and have a lot to offer to your family. I am vaccinated and boosted. I also have a car. I usually get home around 5 pm on week days, my weekends are usually free. Please contact me if you have any further questions. Have a great day!!! ~ Audrey

We love Audrey! She is so attentive and patient with our 11-month-old and has been taking care of him for a few months now. We highly recommend booking with her if she is available!

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!

She was very caring and very helpful! Definitely recommend her 100%! Me and my son love her. Amazing help. Thank you so much!
