Hi! My name is Krystyna. I have taken care of infants and toddlers for the past 12 years. I have worked at Bright Horizons in River East downtown Chicago as an infant and toddler teacher. I also worked for two baseball seasons for the Chicago White Sox taking care of the players kids at the home games. I've been a nanny for 9 years. I’ve nannied in New Orleans, Dallas, and New York. I’m a certified Nurse Assistant and CPR certified. I have my own car so transportation isn't a problem. Please feel free to contact me with any questions that you have. Hope to hear from you!
“Krystyna was absolutely wonderful with our 9-month-old daughter, Anna! From the moment she arrived, she was professional, kind, and put us at ease. Anna took to her right away, and as we were leaving, we could already hear squeals of joy, always a great sign! It was clear that Krystyna knows how to engage with little ones, and we felt completely comfortable knowing Anna was in great hands. We’ll definitely be asking her to come back and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a fantastic babysitter.”
Hi! I am a college student majoring in Accounting at the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign. I have been a swim instructor for kids under the age of 12 for a year and I have tutored children how to play piano for 2-3 years. I am very social, patient and fun and have loved my teaching jobs and would like to move onto babysitting kids and taking care of pets as well! I love arts and crafts, games, fun activities, teaching, animals and walks! I am also a fluent Spanish speaker and an intermediate German speaker. My mom has been a full time nanny for 15 years and I have learned a lot on how to be an excellent babysitter!

Hi parents! I’m Imari—a creative, calm, and joyful presence based in Rogers Park. I’m a mom to the sweetest toddler and a longtime caregiver with a deep love for little ones and all the beautiful and chaotic moments that come with raising them. I began my career in New York, working in creative advertising in fashion, before stepping away from the industry to pursue passion projects that reconnected me to my roots in Belize. Four years ago, love brought me to Chicago, where I’ve built a new chapter with my little family and embraced a life centered on caregiving and creativity. I have experience with children of all ages, from newborns to preteens, and I’m well-versed in feeding routines, naps, school transitions, bedtime wind-downs, and all the small moments in between that make a big difference. I show up with patience, creativity, and a deep sense of care (and usually a few art projects or songs in my back pocket!). I’d love to connect with families looking for someone nurturing, organized, and genuinely passionate about being part of their village. Let’s chat if you think I might be the right fit for yours!
“Imari was wonderful with my 4.5 year old On time and had a great evening while my husband and I were out. Can’t wait to have her back.”
Hello! I have experience caring for newborns up to pre-teens, and have babysat for many families of multiple children over the past 12 years. The more the merrier! I truly enjoy spending time with kids and making sure they are happy and comfortable while their parents are out. I'm very organized and responsible, and always clean up after any messes - including the kitchen after mealtimes. I enjoy the challenge of keeping kids happy and laughing, while also sticking to their routines. I have experience changing diapers, feeding children and infants, cooking, cleaning, and driving children to activities. I also worked as a lifeguard for 6 years, so I'm very comfortable and familiar with CPR, first aid, and water safety. I love being active, the outdoors, playing games, and encourage all forms of artistic creativity. I also love to read - especially to kids! In addition to child care, I'm a personal trainer and health coach. I have a bachelors degree in Human Physiology and took a college class on Child Psychology and Development.
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. CPR/First Aid certified for infant-adult Current certification expires Oct 2026

"We were incredibly grateful that Maya was able to help us out with a last-minute childcare emergency. She matched our 9-year-old's energy with arts & crafts, some quiet reading, and a walk around the neighborhood. We'd have Maya back in a heartbeat!"
