Hi! My name is Hana and I recently moved to the Lincoln Park area for my job as a data analyst downtown, post my graduation from UW-Madison in May 2024. I am looking for some occasional or part time babysitting gigs, as I absolutely love working with and spending time with children and would like to spend more of my free time doing so. I have experience babysitting infants all the way up to 15 year olds, and have been babysitting since my freshman year of high school (about 9 years). I also have my CPR certification and my own car here! Please reach out with any other questions!
Hi, I'm Caterina. Im currently a freshman at Depaul University studying Animation and Math. I am offering child care, pet care, and household services. I love to have fun, do arts and crafts, and play games. I have been babysitting since I was around 14 and I have a lot of babysitting experience from young babies to older kids. I also have experience working with and taking care of kids with special needs. I am also a huge animal lover and would be more than happy to help out with any animals around the house. I have had 2 dogs of my own and have taken care of mainly dogs and cats for other households.
Hi! My name is Morgan offering childcare with pet and household services if needed during that time as well. I am super fun and energetic and strive to be the babysitter your kiddo asks to come back again and again! I have enjoyed working with children for the past 7 years - including several babysitting and nannying jobs with children newborn - 12 years old, working as a camp counselor for 4-12 year olds and as a behavioral therapist for children 2-10 years old and I am CPR and safety care certified. I really like all animals and I am happy to help with anything that is needed around the house whether that is cleaning, helping with a meal time (kiddo or animal!), helping with homework, or simply any random task that might need to be done while I am there and could have the time to do!
Hi! As someone with almost two years of teaching and caretaking experience, I'm passionate about giving children a safe, fun environment to learn and grow. More about me: - I moved to Chicago from California this year for my job (I am a UX copywriter!) - I love cooking (currently learning a new recipe from my mom on FaceTime each week) - I have always loved working with kids and plan to go back to school for a degree in education (hopefully in the next decade) I would love to chat about how I can best help you! Ask me about any of the following experiences: 6 months: Teacher's Aide to a kindergarten summer camp 1 year: Tutor at after-school center 4 months: Manager at after-school center

"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
