Hello, I am an energetic mom who has a flexible schedule, working mostly from home. I share custody of my young son, so I have some free time to work with other families. I welcome the opportunity to provide your family with trustworthy and experienced high-quality care. I own a car and drive so I am reliable and punctual. I can drive kids when needed; there is already a booster seat in the car and a car seat can be arranged. I am able to help with homework and if desired, can bring my own bag of kid-friendly activities. I have done a lot of different activities with kids: crafts, baking, baseball, Lego, singing, dancing, card and board games, biking, reading, outings to museums, etc. In addition to my experience, I am certified in Adult & Pediatric First Aid, CPR, and AED. I am a non-smoker and every year, I get flu and COVID vaccines. I just joined the platform so I had some references leave reviews here. They have seen me taking care of my son and their children at the same time. I hope to meet your family soon!
“I have known Jackie as part of a mom’s group for almost 9 years. In that time she has planned and held many successful gatherings for the moms and kids. She is organized and resourceful, she ensures children have fun and are engaged while being safe. Jackie is very responsible and trustworthy. She is a wonderful caretaker to her own son and those in her circle!”
Hello! My name is Tess, and I’m 23 years old. I currently work as a barista at Starbucks in the mornings and am looking for an additional job to fill my afternoons and evenings. I offer date-night babysitting or part-time nannying services a few days a week. Looking for a flexible schedule. Feel free to reach out if you’d like to know more or to schedule a time for me to help!
Hi, my names Ruby, I used to babysit a lot in high school before I moved and thought it was so fun! I mostly worked with two kids aged 2 and 4, and babysat them for almost a year. I’m a first year college student so babysitting is a great way for me to make money while still having time to focus on school work. I’m also an artist although I’m still working towards making a living off that. But if your kids enjoy to draw I’ll probably end up teaching them a thing or two too!
Hello! My name is Audrey and I am a licensed OT currently working in schools. I am looking for additional hours outside of work and to save some money. I’d love to help out you and your family! I have worked with children since I was a teenager, babysitting kids in the neighborhood and helping raise my younger brother with autism spectrum disorder. In high school, I nannied for two families for years. Their children ranged from 2-10 years old. Since living in Chicago (2020) I’ve worked with two families very closely to help their 5 month old babies in those early developmental stages. I am confident in working with children of all ages and abilities. As a school based OT, I work with students ages 2-22 years old. I enjoy providing experiences outside, crafting, art projects, sensory play, imaginary play, going for walks, and more. I am confident in my abilities and have a lot to offer to your family. I am vaccinated and boosted. I also have a car. I usually get home around 5 pm on week days, my weekends are usually free. Please contact me if you have any further questions. Have a great day!!! ~ Audrey
“We love Audrey! She is so attentive and patient with our 11-month-old and has been taking care of him for a few months now. We highly recommend booking with her if she is available!”
