Jada $23 per hour for 1 child

Hi families! I’m Jada! I’m currently a nanny in Plainfield and looking to connect with families who need occasional babysitting, date-night care, or just some extra help here and there! (Not seeking recurring jobs.) I have 8 years of professional childcare experience working with children from newborns through school age, including several years as a lead teacher. I also have my bachelor’s degree in Early Childhood Studies and am CPR/First Aid certified. I’d describe myself as bubbly, patient, dependable, and very hands on. I love getting the kids out of the house, going on walks, reading, doing crafts, playing outside, and finding fun things to do based on their age and interests. I’m definitely more of a play based caregiver and prefer keeping kids engaged rather than relying on screens. Yes I dress up in costumes and play the board games with every kid I care for! About me: I enjoy reading, getting coffee, doing crafts, and spending time outdoors. I’d love to connect with some local families who are looking for a reliable sitter they can reach out to whenever they need an extra set of hands!

Frank $17 per hour for 1 child

Hello! My name is Frank (but I go by Frankie). I am a college student offering babysitting services. I really enjoy working with grade school kids. I am currently working at an after-school program where I work with over sixty kids. I like to make a safe and positive environment where kids can have a fun time. I can help them with homework, plan some fun activities to do, take them to a local park, or watch a movie. I'm a-ok with pets (mostly dogs and cats). As of right now, I am not CPR certified, but I'm trying to get my certificate. I'm in my second year of college, so I don't have a degree (yet). Also, I have a drivers license, but I don't have a car. I have reliable transportation to and from homes, but I am not available for child transportation and will not drive family vehicles. However, I can walk them if schools/activities are in walking distance. That's about it. Feel free to reach out whenever you need a babysitter. Leave a review and give some feedback and hopefully we can work with each in the future. Thank you so much for reading. Take care! :)

Booked by 3 families in Wasco, IL

Hi, my name is Emily and I’m 20 I babysit alongside my serving job. And I take great pride in providing amazing childcare. I am the oldest of four kids. My mom actually decided to add the 4th one back in 2023 so I’ve been able to walk alongside her in the newborn/toddler age:) I love children and being intentional with our time such as doing crafts, going for walks/the park when the weather is nice or making learning fun. Naturally as an older sister, I have experience cooking, tiding up, helping with homework and driving kids to and from sports/school. I’ve also worked children’s ministries at church and provided childcare since I was 12 this ranged from nursery age to middle school age. minimal dog task can definitely be done as well!!

"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!"
