Artemis 1 review
$20 per hour for 1 child

Hi! My name is Artemis, my students call me Teacher Art! I’ve been teaching early childhood since April 2025 and I absolutely LOVE working with kids! My classroom had the most allergy students in the center so I am very familiar with allergy protocols. I have my SBS certification, my SIDS certification, and my Food Handler’s certification as well! My favorite things to do are puzzles, story time, and art activities! I also love getting to see what my students are interested in and using that knowledge to build stronger connections! I have a background in singing and art therapy, and I try to incorporate that into my work with my students. I have two years teaching experience with middle school aged students with disabilities as well. I’m fluent in English and Spanish, and intermediate in ASL. I also have experience working with seniors both in a nursing home and in home care as well. I have experience bathing and dressing seniors, meal prepping for them, and cleaning up their home. My dream would be to become a full time nanny for one family.

Art was my daughter’s teacher, now her babysitter. Art is the only one we trust outside of family. They are professional, fun, and great at communicating. We know our daughter is having a blast and learning skills when Art is with her. Art is fantastic, cant recommend enough

I am a crafty and creative person, so I love doing art projects and playing outside! I also have experience pet-sitting and house-sitting.

Booked by 1 family in Morton Grove, IL

Hi Parents! I’m Sarah, a recent graduate from DePaul University. I have over 10 years of experience in Nannying and babysitting for children between the ages of 1 and 12. As a nanny, I prioritize the safety, creativity and education. I love coming up with new game concepts to play and introduce educational topics. Whether it's engaging in imaginative play, organizing educational activities, or assisting with homework, I strive to make each day meaningful and enjoyable for the children under my care. Some of my favorite activities to do are adventure walks, DIY days, baking and talent discovery! Most importantly, I am passionate about making a positive impact on the lives of children and helping them reach their full potential. I look forward to the opportunity to become a valued member of your family and to contribute to the happiness and well-being of your children. Please let me know if you have any questions about my work history or me. Thank you for your consideration, and stay safe. Best, Sarah

Sarah was absolutely amazing. My son laughed the minute she came in! We would love to use her again!

Shantal 1 review
$18 per hour for 1 child

I’m a patient, responsible, and upbeat babysitter with experience caring for children of all ages. As the oldest sister to my 9 year old brother, I’ve had hands on experience keeping kids happy, safe, and entertained. I also work at tutoring center, where I help students build academic skills and confidence, so I know how to keep things both fun and productive! Whether it’s helping with homework, reading stories, or playing games, I always aim to create a safe, positive environment. I’m CPR certified and very reliable, and I’d love the chance to support your family!

My kids absolutely love spending time with Shantal! She takes great care of them and always plans fun activities to keep them engaged. My oldest is 12 and my youngest is 9, and they both look forward to the days she comes over. She has become an essential part of our family!

Booked by 5 families in Morton Grove, IL

I am currently pursuing a masters in occupational therapy at DePaul University and have a passion for helping children. Despite being in grad school, I’m a child at heart, enjoy watching kid movies/cartoons, playing outside, painting, and board games. I have experience with younger siblings, neurodivergent kids, and usually babysit ages 1-12, but am looking forward to gaining more experience across all ages!

Alexis was awesome for our 3 year old. He felt comfortable with her and had fun together right away! Would recommend and rehire again
