Experienced and nurturing babysitter in my 50s with over 11 years caring for babies up to preschoolers. Comfortable with pets. Fluent in English and Spanish.

Hi there! My name is Annabelle and I'm a passionate, creative babysitter with years of experience. I love spending time with kids, cooking fun new recipes, doing crafts, and making memories that'll last a lifetime. From summer camps to birthday parties, I know how to create a fun and safe environment for kids to explore and learn. Let me help you raise the next generation of creative, compassionate, and playful kids!
I have over 15 years of experience with dogs, and caring for elderly. I am happy to run any errands and will do it with a smile on my face. I love helping other people and love animals.
I have six years of childcare experience and would love to help with pet care, childcare, and house needs (errands, meal prep, etc.) I am organized, responsible, and have a medical background, so your kiddos will be in great hands! Also, my schedule is flexible.
Hi! I’m Michelle, a responsible and dependable college student who enjoys working with children. My childcare experience comes from helping care for my younger brother and babysitting for family friends, where I’ve learned the importance of creating a safe, fun, and supportive environment. I graduated as my high school’s valedictorian and am happy to help with homework and learning activities. I’m also involved with Northwestern University’s Supplies for Dreams, an organization that supports Chicago Public Schools through school supply drives, field trips, and one-on-one student mentorship. Whether it’s playing games, reading stories, or sticking to your family’s routine, I’ll make sure your children are well cared for and engaged.
