I am a current grad student at UIC in the physical therapy program! I’ve completed my bachelor’s degree in Exercise Science at Illinois State University in May 2024. I worked as a caregiver for 2 summers in a row during my undergrad at a memory care assisted living facility in Elmhurst, IL. I also worked as a rehab tech at Shirley Ryan AbilityLab Pediatric Outpatient clinic in Glenview, IL from May 2024-July 2025. I have a passion for helping and caring for people in any capacity.

Savannah $20 per hour for 1 child

Compassionate and dependable caregiver, specializing in creative and recreational caregiving, with experience supporting children, adults with disabilities, and elders. A graduate of the School of the Art Institute of Chicago, I bring a creative approach to caregiving, incorporating activities that engage, stimulate, and inspire those I support. I bring experience working in a preschool with children aged 2-4 years old. I also have experience in bilingual classrooms with children aged 3–10, supporting learning, engagement, and individualized attention to meet students’ diverse needs. These experiences have strengthened my patience, adaptability, and communication skills, allowing me to connect with individuals of all ages and abilities. Additionally, in my part-time role at Renewal Memory, I provide companionship and meaningful engagement for adults with Alzheimer’s, assisting with daily routines and creating a supportive, positive environment. I am also a volunteer at Arts of Life, where I help support professional artists with disabilities by offering guidance, assistance, and encouragement in their daily work. I also have hands-on experience in household management and organization, maintaining structured environments, managing schedules, and supporting daily tasks to keep routines running smoothly. My combination of caregiving expertise, creative approach, and organizational skills allows me to provide meaningful, engaging, and well-rounded care for those I support.

Hana $20 per hour for 1 child

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!

Sabrina $13 per hour for 1 child

Hello! My name is Sabrina and I am a 27 year old woman with a very easy going and kind disposition. I am offering child care, pet care, and household services. I enjoy taking care of children and pets! I grew up with 5x younger siblings and a dog, and am very familiar with taking care of all age children. I have been babysitting since I was 13 and many of the families I babysat for found me very accomplished at caring for their kids, pets, and home! I am very active and love to make activities to do for the kids based on their hobbies. I am very kind, a great listener, and enjoy outdoor and indoor activities. I am happy to follow any guidelines the parents set out. For example, if you do not want your kids to watch TV or have a strict routine for bedtime, I am more than amenable to making it as easy for you as possible. I am not apposed to light house cleaning and always ensure I clean up any messes we make. Patience is key in my world so I always act with that, kindness, and a smile. Many families have trusted me with their kids in the past and we were well received. I can take care of one child or multiple and am comfortable with all age groups. I grew up with lots of kids in my house and noise and commotion do not startle me. I was also an athlete for a large portion of my life and am great with all sports! I have no allergies and comfortable with any pets!
