Hello I am a college student located near Loyola University Chicago but I have my car as reliable transportation. I’d love to work for your family for a date night or a last minute need. I have 2 summers experience working with large groups of children (ranging between 3mo-12yrs) at Lifetime fitness’s Kids Academy. I also have 2 years experience doing occasional babysitting for families specifically through this app. I have my infant, child, and adult CPR certification along with my first aid certification. I am very creative, so I would love to create fun and engaging activities for your child(ren). Or to just go along with any plans or schedule you have.

I am a single mom of two (ages 10 and 8). I work as occupational therapist and have knowledge of child development as a mother but also in my profession. I am looking for some additional work when the kids are with their father. I live in the north side of Chicago and able to drive , preferably close to home.

Hi! I have been working with kids for 15 years. I love playing music and games with the children I work with. I also like to bake and cook teaching the kids valuable skills as well. In the past five years I have babysat children ranging from 6 months old to 12 years old. I nannied and did e-learning/school during the pandemic with a first grader and fifth grader with a range of responsibilities from preparing meals to helping complete classwork to planning activities for the day. I am currently going back to school to be a special education teacher.

Hello! My name is Jeanette. I moved to Chicago in 2021 to pursue my MA in Sound Arts and Industries at Northwestern University. I currently work as a freelance audio engineer and teaching artist in the local film and arts community, and I’m looking for part-time or occasional childcare opportunities between projects. Before moving to Chicago, I worked as an early childhood educator in New Mexico public schools and summer programs. I earned my BA from the University of New Mexico with an interdisciplinary focus in Early Childhood & Multicultural Education, Music Studies/Performance, and Communication. I have years of experience working with children from early childhood through teens as a teacher, nanny, and sitter. I love caregiving because it’s rewarding to support kids as they explore, learn, and grow while creating a safe, creative, and encouraging environment. I enjoy engaging kids through reading stories, singing songs and nursery rhymes, music, crafts, imaginative play, outdoor exploration, and sensory activities. I like following children’s interests and encouraging curiosity while also supporting routines and helping kids tidy up after activities. When screen time is allowed, I prefer guided movement breaks or short educational programs (like Danny Go, Ms. Rachel, or Kids TV 123), but I usually try to keep kids engaged with hands-on activities instead. I’m bilingual (fluent in Spanish), play a variety of string instruments, and am currently working toward my Deep Listening certification. I previously worked with a community organization in San Francisco’s South of Market neighborhood co-teaching expressive arts classes for children and families, and volunteered with ALAS as a violin instructor for a mariachi youth group. While living in Santa Fe, I also led an outdoor summer arts adventure program organizing nature-based art projects, movement games, and creative activities both outdoors and indoors. More recently, I’ve spent lots of time helping care for my two nieces (now ages 2 and 5), which keeps my toddler and early childhood play skills active. I’m trained in first aid and infant/toddler CPR and am happy to help with light household tasks during naps. I’m also happy to provide references or my resume upon request. Thank you for taking the time to read my bio, I hope to connect with your family soon!
