Hi my name is Nicole and I am 18 years old! I have plenty of experience taking care of young children due to my occupation and wild younger brother. I work as a swim instructor for kids aged 3-12. As such, I am CPR and lifeguard certified! I am more than capable of making a safe and comfortable environment for young children, and I enjoy learning new crafts and activities. Born and raised in Chicago I am fluent in English and Czech. I also speak conversational Polish and Slovakian.

Hi! Ny name is Joann, I am 19 years old from San Francisco, CA! I am an incoming sophomore at Loyola University Chicago studying business marketing. I have been babysitting since I was 13 years old and have also worked as a swim instructor for kids ages 5 months to 14 year olds. My responsibilities have been pick up kids from school, serve dinner, play with them, clean the house a bit, and put them to bed. I have also been a dog sitter for the past 4 summers. I have either stayed at the house with the dog or just go and walk and feed the dog when instructed. I love both kids and animals! Feel free to reach out with any questions!

I am a public school kindergarten teaching looking for summer jobs! I have 15 years of teaching experience, mostly in preK and kindergarten, and several years of nanny experience including twins and newborns. I have my Masters degree in early childhood education and special training in teaching reading, so if your kiddo needs some summer tutoring, I might be a great fit for your family. I love getting outdoors and enjoying what Chicago has to offer during the summer. My temperament is calm and nurturing, and I focus on implementing consistent routines with the kids I work with.

Currently, I'm a child therapist with a degree from the Erikson Institute. I have worked with children in a variety of settings, including daycare settings, mentorship roles, as a group facilitator, nannying, and as a coach for youth sports. I love working with kids, and I always hope to be an adult figure who is fun, attuned, thoughtful, respectful, and responsible.

Hi there! My name is Jessica and I am a high school teacher within Chicago Public Schools. I majored in history education and went on to earn my Master's in Instructional Design, along with an additional certification in special education. I have a wealth of experience working with young people in many capacities, including teaching, tutoring, babysitting, nannying, and coaching varsity volleyball. I am truly passionate about helping children and teens learn, grow, and have fun! Because of my background, I am highly skilled in helping kids manage their behavior and emotions in a positive way that includes them in the process. A little more about me: I am originally from Ohio and have been living and teaching here in Chicago for the past seven years. When I'm not in the classroom or babysitting, my hobbies include hiking, rock climbing, reading, and spending quality time with my dog, Peanut! I look forward to meeting your family!
