Find an emergency babysitter in Chicago, IL

Growing up in an in-home daycare run by my mom, caring for children is one of the things I know best--I have over ten years of professional experience working as a daycare teacher, babysitter, and nanny. Past work has included caring for 1-5 kids at a time, at a range of ages from infant to school-aged. I specifically love getting to know kids for all of their quirks and personalities, helping them learn and grow, and doing all I can to ensure that we have a full, fun day together. A little about me personally: I am from originally from the Nashville area and moved to Chicago to pursue a career in the performing arts, which I do primarily now alongside childcare. Besides performing and caring for kids, I enjoy reading, exploring the city, and spending time with friends. I look forward to meeting and connecting with you soon!

Hi! My name’s Marinna, I’m a student athlete at the University of Illinois Chicago! I’m a very reliable, on-time, hardworking person. Growing up in an intense sport taught me how to manage stressful situations, as well as staying organized. Working with kids or animas is a way I love spending my free time, and making an earning for myself. I’ve always loved being around kids. My summer jobs always consist of being a nanny, last year I worked with a family of 4 children all summer. I also work with families year round, I’ve had experience with three-year olds and one-year olds. I even was a teacher assistant in a third grade classroom, which taught me so much on managing so many kids at once. All of these experiences helped me understand a lot about how to value consistency, patience, and attentiveness-ensuring children’s safety. Whether I'm assisting with bedtime, planning activities, or simply ensuring that your child feels taken care of, I’d love to help!

Hi! My name is Nora, I’m 19 years old, and I have 3–5 years of experience in child care, pet care, and household help. I’ve worked with kids of all ages, including past experience as a nanny for a family with five children and working at Schaumburg Kasper, an after-school program where I helped lead group activities and assist with homework. I also have experience caring for my grandmother, which gave me a strong sense of patience, compassion, and responsibility in senior care. At home, I take care of three dogs and a cat, so I’m very comfortable with animals of all sizes and energy levels. I genuinely enjoy cooking, cleaning, and organizing—I find it rewarding to help families feel supported and stress-free. I’m reliable, caring, and always ready to jump in wherever I’m needed!
