βThis was my first time hiring Cristina and I would hire her again! She came in ready to hang out with the kids. She immediately tried to engage with them and was warm and loving. She was kind and easy going.β
Hi! I am a current MBA student at Northwestern Kellogg looking to make some extra money while in school. I'm originally from California and, prior to Kellogg, was working as a clinical researcher at Stanford for over 8 years running clinical trials for Type 1 diabetes technology. My working role involves working with children of all ages (as young as 3 and up) in a healthcare setting, requiring 24/7 oversight for safety. Much of the research I do involve multi-day studies to oversee how new medical devices perform; Iβm essentially serving as a babysitter and creating/overseeing activities to do (itβs hard to explain, but Iβm more than happy to do so if youβd like more details about what this means!). I have my BS in human development from UC Davis. Aside from my current role, I have multiple years of experience working with children during college in classroom settings, through various baby sitting gigs, and even teaching piano. I love puzzles, baking, playing with my pup (and generally all dogs), and being outside and active as much as possible! I most recently spent a quarter abroad in Australia and was fortunate enough to complete a few multi day backpacking trips around Australia and New Zealand I love being creative and am happy to do arts and crafts and supervised baking projects with your child! I have been CPR/First Aid trained and certified multiple times in the past (including toddler/infant) for my job, though that has since expired. That said, I am confident in my abilities to address emergency situations from my past trainings.
Hi! My name is Lisa. My full time career is as an art teacher in a selective enrollment high school here in Chicago for the last 30 years. I teach Honors and AP Sculpture and Best Buddies Art. I love babies and kids of all ages! I'm looking for some occasional baby sitting during the summer. I am allergic to dogs, but love cats. I have two adult children of my own. I have my own car and can drive. I'm also fluent in American Sign Language.
Hello I am a college student located near Loyola University Chicago but I have my car as reliable transportation. Iβd love to work for your family for a date night or a last minute need. I have 2 summers experience working with large groups of children (ranging between 3mo-12yrs) at Lifetime fitnessβs Kids Academy. I also have 2 years experience doing occasional babysitting for families specifically through this app. I have my infant, child, and adult CPR certification along with my first aid certification. I am very creative, so I would love to create fun and engaging activities for your child(ren). Or to just go along with any plans or schedule you have.
Hi... My name is Beth and I have lived in Chicago for over 30 years. I graduated from Columbia College and my professional career centered around Marketing and Advertising. I worked for 2 years as an After School Nanny, picking up from Lincoln Park and driving home to Evanston, then staying with the amazing young person until the parents finished work. The Family then arranged for a Live-In Au Pair, but we keep in touch and they are an excellent reference. That family gave my information to a neighbor and I have been working with them for the past Three Years, driving 2 children home from school. They travel overseas during the Summer and will be leaving the country after Memorial Day. Next school year their children will attend a school much closer to home so I am seeking a new opportunity to work with a new Family. I have my own reliable SUV and a clean driving (and No criminal) record. I get along great with kids and they seem to like me too. I will prioritize your rules, follow your preferred snack and meal choices and mix homework or chores with encouragement and fun. Aside from many years of "Babysitting", I was a Certified Lifeguard, a Summer Camp Counselor and an Arts & Crafts Teacher at Sunday School. I also am a Trained Driver, having worked as a Chauffeur for almost 2 years. I'm a musician and like singing - music is a wonderful language. I'm also a Dog Mama and have no problem with dogs, feeding and walking. Ask me about Weekends and Special Events.
βWe were so lucky to have Beth work for us for almost two years as our after-school care giver. She picked our child up from school, drove them the 30+ minutes home, and kept our child entertained. She also took them to some local after school activities. Beth is really warm and fun. Our kiddo loved her and she will now always be part of our village! She was very reliable and communicative. She was able to speak directly with us regarding issues that came up, but things were mostly smooth. She brings a lot of heart to her work and any family would be lucky to work with her!β

"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
"Hannah was awesome. Went above & beyond to help me with a last minute emergency. She was really sweet & great with my 16mo old. Highly recommend!!"
