Hello! I just moved here from Charlotte, NC where I finished my Masters studies while being a student athlete (track and field). I worked for 3 years on the Bambino babysitting app and love spending time with kids :). I’m very disciplined and reliable.

Chicago
$20 per hour for 1 child

Hello, I am an energetic mom who has a flexible schedule, working mostly from home. I share custody of my young son, so I have some free time to work with other families. I welcome the opportunity to provide your family with trustworthy and experienced high-quality care. I own a car and drive so I am reliable and punctual. I can drive kids when needed; there is already a booster seat in the car and a car seat can be arranged. I am able to help with homework and if desired, can bring my own bag of kid-friendly activities. I have done a lot of different activities with kids: crafts, baking, baseball, Lego, singing, dancing, card and board games, biking, reading, outings to museums, etc. In addition to my experience, I am certified in Adult & Pediatric First Aid, CPR, and AED. I am a non-smoker and every year, I get flu and COVID vaccines. I just joined the platform so I had some references leave reviews here. They have seen me taking care of my son and their children at the same time. I hope to meet your family soon!

I have known Jackie as part of a mom’s group for almost 9 years. In that time she has planned and held many successful gatherings for the moms and kids. She is organized and resourceful, she ensures children have fun and are engaged while being safe. Jackie is very responsible and trustworthy. She is a wonderful caretaker to her own son and those in her circle!

Ruby Chicago
$20 per hour for 1 child

Hi, my names Ruby, I used to babysit a lot in high school before I moved and thought it was so fun! I mostly worked with two kids aged 2 and 4, and babysat them for almost a year. I’m a first year college student so babysitting is a great way for me to make money while still having time to focus on school work. I’m also an artist although I’m still working towards making a living off that. But if your kids enjoy to draw I’ll probably end up teaching them a thing or two too!
