Booked by 25 families in Cicero, IL

Hi! My name is Natalya and I am a Research assistant and student at UIC. I work as a Nursing tech at Northwestern twice a week. I am primarily available for occasional babysitting on weekend days and week nights! I’ve worked with high school students previously for two years in Chicago and for a year in Madrid, Spain. I am the second oldest of five girls so I have been taking care of younger siblings my whole life. I began babysitting about 12 years ago. I also worked as a nanny for one family for four years in college. I am hoping to eventually become a pediatrician! In my free time I love to read, run, and drink good coffee or tea.

Was very friendly and helped out to put the baby to bed as we were leaving!

My name is Janet. I am 33 years old. I work in a Head Start Program as an Associate Director of Family and Community Engagement. I am bilingual (Spanish speaking) and have a bachelors degree in Social Work. I have experience working with children of all ages. I consider myself a very responsible, fun and caring person. I have an 8 year old nephew and 5 year old niece whom I adore so much and are another reason why I enjoy caring for children. I have a car and am flexible with end time if needed. My schedule is very flexible if you are looking at a specific date please message me. I don’t have many updated reviews on this app since I have my regular families I book with but I can provide references if needed :) Please let me know if you have any questions. Thank you, Janet

Janet was great—very thoughtful and reliable. I really appreciated the updates. I’d happily book again.

Booked by 43 families in Cicero, IL

Hi, my name is Janneth! Originally from Mexico, I’m bilingual in English and Spanish, and I’ve been caring for children since I was 15 years old. Babysitting has always been more than just a job for me, it’s a beautiful way to connect with kids and be welcomed into their world through kindness, patience, and respect. I remember how challenging it was for my parents to find someone they could truly trust to care for me and my siblings. That’s why I take this role seriously and always show up with the same love and respect that my parents wished for us. I love spending time outdoors, doing puzzles, coloring, and listening to music. I’m also great with dogs, I’m happy to help with Spanish homework or practice! Your child’s safety, joy, and well-being are my top priorities, and I look forward to being someone you can count on.
