Elizabeth 2 reviews
$25 per hour for 1 child
Booked by 6 families in Cicero, IL

I have been working as a Babysiiter/Nanny for about 11 years. I worked in the early childhood center in my college freshmen year with Infants through the age of 4 years old. I worked with a wonderful family for about 5 years. I had many more families I worked with for a couple of years as well, and date nights. I like to inform the parents on how their children are doing. I love children, I also enjoy playing with them and teaching them how to learn new things such as reading doing math problems and much more. I am responsible, honest, friendly and have great communication with parents.

“Elizabeth responded quickly, was prompt and interacted well with our children. I would gladly use her again.”

Aralena $18 per hour for 1 child

Hello! My name is Aralena and I am a full time graduate student who just moved to the state of Illinois. I recently graduated in May 2026 with a Bachelor’s of Science in Microbiology from Louisiana State University. I have many years of experience working with kids and I love to do it! I have worked in daycares, party centers, and have lead children closely within a church setting. I have experience working with all ages ranging from infants to 10 years old. I have years of experience with meal times, sleeping, changing clothes, changing diapers, and play time. I have worked with children with disabilities (physical and mental) and have experience working with pets, specifically cats. I have my own cat! I love music (I can play 8 instruments!), reading, and cooking. I would love to help your family with anything needed!

Hi! My name is Yazzy and I’m currently a regent graduate from Columbia College Chicago. I am offering childcare services & pet services. I love being a babysitter and I’ve worked as a nursery worker until recently so I have several experiences with newborns, infants, and toddlers since I was 15 years old. My responsibilities have included crafts, tutoring, and meal prep. I also work as a photography assistant and can take your family portraits! I have four dogs of my own and I’m very comfortable around all pets & will treat your fur-babies as one of my own.

Oriannie $26 per hour for 1 child

Hello ✨my name is Oriannie. I am currently seeking a position as a nanny, a role I truly carry out with love, patience, and dedication. I genuinely enjoy caring for children, supporting their development, and creating a safe, happy, and nurturing environment for them and their families. I am a responsible, caring, and trustworthy person with experience providing quality childcare. I am currently available and very interested in a full-time position. I have attached my resume and would be happy to connect with any family looking for someone they can truly trust. I am a registered nurse, and my credentials have been officially recognized (validated) in the United States; therefore, I do not need a separate CPR certification. I would be happy to provide copies of my academic transcripts and other documentation. Yes, I drive to work. I take full responsibility for the baby's care; my duties include preparing meals and handling everything related to the baby, such as light housekeeping and facilitating routines that support their development. I can provide references from families I have worked with previously. Spanish is my native language, though this has never been an obstacle to my work. I hold a valid work permit for the United States ✨✨💗

"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!"
