I am the oldest of six children and was more of a parent than a sister to all of them. The two youngest kids are 15 and 13 years younger than I am. I love children and have always enjoyed being around them. I am a trained Chef and can cook or help prepare meals if needed. I am also a Chef Instructor and Assistant Food Stylist. At this time I am interested in occasional babysitting to supplement my freelance income. Being able to hang out with kids would be a fun and fulfilling way to do that.

Quick to respond, so friendly, and good with my 11 year old. They had a great time!

Hello! My name is Annaliese and I am a medical student at UNC Chapel Hill SOM who is in Chicago to perform research for the summer! I am in Chicago from 7/2 - 7/31. I am fully vaccinated (with booster) and have had extensive experience with kids; I worked as a substitute teacher in special education K-8 during college breaks, served as a camp counselor at a summer music camp, have babysat for at least 35 families since I was 15, and tutored chemistry and physics for high school and college students. I LOVE cooking (esp. healthy foods!) and would be happy to help meal prep and perform light household chores (i.e light cleaning, dishwashing, laundry) for you and your family. I would also be happy to help your kids with tutoring if needed and am a huge fan of off-screen time. Regarding travel, I am absolutely open to it and have traveled with families to Tahoe and Northeast Harbor and as a nanny recently! Please don't hesitate to reach out if you think I would be a good fit for you and your family! :)

Annaliese was wonderful. She was so kind, fun, and reliable. My kids loved spending time with her and she kept us up to date on how the kids were doing.

I've worked as an after-school nanny, date night sitter, full-time nanny, overnight sitter, and as an Au Pair(nanny abroad). As an Au Pair, I lived with a family of three in Madrid.

Hi parents! I’m Imari—a creative, calm, and joyful presence based in Rogers Park. I’m a mom to the sweetest toddler and a longtime caregiver with a deep love for little ones and all the beautiful and chaotic moments that come with raising them. I began my career in New York, working in creative advertising in fashion, before stepping away from the industry to pursue passion projects that reconnected me to my roots in Belize. Four years ago, love brought me to Chicago, where I’ve built a new chapter with my little family and embraced a life centered on caregiving and creativity. I have experience with children of all ages, from newborns to preteens, and I’m well-versed in feeding routines, naps, school transitions, bedtime wind-downs, and all the small moments in between that make a big difference. I show up with patience, creativity, and a deep sense of care (and usually a few art projects or songs in my back pocket!). I’d love to connect with families looking for someone nurturing, organized, and genuinely passionate about being part of their village. Let’s chat if you think I might be the right fit for yours!

Imari was wonderful with my 4.5 year old On time and had a great evening while my husband and I were out. Can’t wait to have her back.
