$20 per hour for 1 child

Hello! My name is Kevin and I am a newcomer when it comes to nannying. I graduated from DePaul University (2019) with a Bachelors in Communications Studies. I live in Chicago but work in Deerfield. I have also done several dog walks and house sitting on Rover for several years. If I'm not at home, I love to shop or run/work out! The only experience I have with children is as a Sunday school teacher for about a year

Natalie Niles
$19 per hour for 1 child

Hi! I’m a student at the University of Illinois Urbana-Champaign with experience in both childcare and pet care. I’ve been tutoring and babysitting since my freshman year of high school and have worked with youth programs, where I learned to create a safe, structured, and engaging environment for kids. I also have experience caring for pets and enjoy providing reliable care including walks, feeding, playtime, and companionship while maintaining their routines. I’m responsible, patient, and easy to communicate with, and I take pride in being dependable and attentive. With a background in lifeguarding, also serving in the national guard, I’m very safety-focused and calm in any situation. My goal is to give families peace of mind knowing their children and pets are well cared for.

Booked by 1 family in Elk Grove Village, IL

Hi, I'm Brooklyn! I am a junior at the University of Kentucky studying Clinical Leadership and Management, and I am back in the Chicago suburbs for the summer. Those who know me would describe me as responsible, friendly, and hard working. I love working with kids because I enjoy watching them learn and grow, and providing a nurturing space for them to do so. I am fulfilled by helping others, and when I see that a child is happy, it makes me happy. I am also an animal lover and am more than willing to help out with your furry friends! I'm looking for a job that offers flexible hours and a comfortable environment. In addition to caring for children and pets, I am also willing to help with minor household duties and provide transportation. I have had experience with children of all ages since I was about 13, but growing up as an older sister, I have had the opportunity to care for children nearly my whole life and find it incredibly rewarding. I look forward to helping your family in any way that I can!

Brooklyn is great with our daughter. We’ve loved having her watch our daughter. She is warm, dependable, and completely engaged—our daughter looks forward to every visit. Brooklyn is great with routines, playtime, and communication, and we always feel at ease knowing she’s in good hands. Highly recommend!

Amber Berkeley
$20 per hour for 1 child

Hello! My name is Amber, and I am currently a college student working on her pre-nursing requirements and finishing an environmental science degree while maintaining a 3.48 GPA. I mention this only to say, yes. I can help with that pesky homework question. I have enjoyed providing a safe and friendly environment for toddlers to adults since middle school. I enjoy doing arts and crafts as well as losing at games and playing catch. I can provide light housekeeping with supplies provided and basic, healthy meals. I am certified in CPR as a licensed EMT-Basic and am pet-friendly and a non-smoker.

Jonathan Morton Grove
$20 per hour for 1 child

Hi! My name is Jonathan, I am 22 years old, and I am a pediatric registered nurse. I have experience caring for children from newborns through 18 years old in both surgical transplant and general medicine settings. I love working with kids and also have personal experience babysitting my two nephews, from the time they were babies through their school-aged years. My responsibilities have included playing fun games, helping with homework, preparing meals, and keeping them safe and happy. Although I work full time with children as a nurse, I have four days off each week and would love to spend some of that time babysitting. I’m reliable, caring, and bring the same compassion I use in nursing to the families I work with.
