I love helping families in the neighborhood, and I'm great with homework help, meal prep, keeping the place clean, staying patient, and keep the house safe and quiet so that children can sleep while you're away.
“Megan is an excellent babysitter. She is reliable, professional, and experienced, and she’s wonderful with my 1.5-year-old. She keeps him engaged with activities, is attentive to his needs, and makes sure he’s safe and happy. I have complete confidence in her and highly recommend her to other families.”
I'm a fun, outgoing, and caring individual looking for part-time, flexible hours! I have a lot of experience with babies, toddlers, and elementary-age kids. When I'm not babysitting, I'm an actor around Chicago and teach theatre to kids ages 1-14, as a visiting teaching artist in preschools, elementary schools, and in special ed cluster classrooms. I have years of experience working with kids on the autism spectrum and pride myself on seeing all kids as whole, autonomous people. I love pets, arts and crafts, reading, and singing and dancing!
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!!
Hi there! My name is Yajaira but everybody calls me Yaha, I’m from Colombia but I’ve been leaving in the States for about 4 years. I have more than 4 years experience taking care of kids, and I’ve been a beautiful journey. I love puzzles and doing Art I consider myself a very creative person and this is something I’m always trying to share with my kids. One think that love about my job is I’m always learning something new and kids are the best teachers! So let’s do some memories together, make Art, and have lots of fun! Hope you have a great day! Keep smiling Best, Yaha
I’m currently a Registered Nurse working in Labor and Delivery and Postpartum. I’ve been babysitting all of high school and college so I have a ton of experience with kids! I also grew up with a variety of pets so am very comfortable around animals and can help with pets as needed.

"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!"
Hillary S., parent
"We used Tania for a last minute emergency. She responded very quickly. My daughter seemed to enjoy herself. My son napped most of the time. I enjoyed how she kept me updated by text."
Theresa M., parent
