$15 per hour for 1 child
Booked by 1 family in Park Ridge, 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!”

Isabella $19 per hour for 1 child

Hii my names Isabella ! I’m a 20 year old currently studying Biology with a focus on Genetics. I’m in my final year and excited to be just one year away from earning my bachelor’s degree. I’ve always been passionate about science and the way it helps us understand life on a deeper level, especially in the field of genetics. I’ve also always had a natural connection with kids I love spending time with them, learning from their curiosity, and helping them grow. Growing up, my family worked in household roles like housekeeping and house management, and they often took me along. So from a young age, I got to see what it means to be responsible, organized, and attentive to others’ needs. That experience really shaped the way I carry myself today. Outside of school and work, I love being outdoors, trying new foods, and finding little adventures around the city. Whether it’s going to a street market, spending time with family, or just relaxing with a good movie, I like to stay balanced and appreciate the small things in life.

Aaliyah $24 per hour for 1 child

Hello! My name is Aaliyah, and I’m a caring, dependable sitter with a genuine passion for working with children. I have experience creating a safe, engaging, and supportive environment where kids can learn, grow, and feel confident being themselves. I love to cook (and bake homemade sweets), going on long walks, and doing arts and crafts. I’m currently in college studying to eventually become a pediatric nurse! I pride myself on being patient, attentive, and communicative with both children and parents, ensuring each family feels comfortable and supported. I own 3 cats, and all my life I grew up with animals from dogs to lizards, so I’m very comfortable with helping out and taking care of your pets too! Thank you for reading :))

"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!"
