Hi there! I’m Elena — a caring, dependable, and bilingual (English & Spanish) nanny with over 10 years of experience working with children of all ages, from infants to teens. I hold a Bachelor’s degree in Psychology with a minor in Hispanic Studies, along with a Master’s in Business Administration. My passion for childcare started early — I have 17 nieces and nephews (yes, 17!), and I’ve been helping care for them since I was young. Since then, I’ve worked with many families, creating safe, fun, and nurturing environments where kids can grow, learn, and just be themselves. I’m fully up to date on vaccines and always prioritize safety and open communication. Whether you need help with homework, meal prep, bedtime routines, or fun educational activities, I’m here to support your family however I can. Looking forward to meeting you and your little ones!
“She was very caring and very helpful! Definitely recommend her 100%! Me and my son love her. Amazing help. Thank you so much!”
Hi! My name is Rebecca and I am 32 years old. I moved to Chicago in March, from Colorado. I am offering child care and pet care services. I've been baby sitting my whole life. Additionally, I was a full time nanny for a summer and a camp counselor for another summer as well. I love kids of all ages. Spending time with my partners' young nieces is a big joy in my life. I am patient, kind, punctual and dependable. Happy to work with families with animals as well. I'm a pet lover. Would love to connect with you :)
Hi! My name is Catie, and I'm a dedicated caregiver with a passion for supporting children's development. I'm 23 years old with a Bachelor's degree in Psychology from Carleton College and am preparing to pursue a doctorate in Clinical Psychology in August. Currently, I work at a therapeutic preschool for children with developmental disabilities, where I've gained hands-on experience and skills in providing personalized support. With about four years of childcare experience, including one year with children on the Autism spectrum, I bring a compassionate, informed approach to caregiving. I'm CPR and First-Aid Certified and trained as an EMT, ensuring a safe environment for your child. Although I work weekdays from 8:30 a.m. to 5:00 pm, I'm available for babysitting on weekends or weekday evenings. I look forward to connecting with your family and helping create a nurturing, engaging experience for your child!
I am a 22-year-old Boston University graduate who majored in psychology. I am offering child care, pet care, and household services. I have been working with children since my first job at the age of 13. In high school, I was a camp counselor for 3 and 4-year-olds. During that time, I babysat for many families I met while working at summer camp. Once I went to college, I worked in a child development lab where I worked with school-age children. I am CPR-certified. I have been surrounded by pets my whole life and feel very comfortable taking care of any pets whether they be cats, dogs, hamsters, etc.
Hello! I’m Kaeley. I am looking to babysit on the evenings and weekends. I work M-F 9-5pm, and am looking to get back into babysitting, which is something I have done since I was 15. I nannied full time for a family with 3 boys (3yrs, 5yrs, and 8yrs) for 8 months during the pandemic. I also spent one summer in college as a mother’s helper for a newborn and 2 toddlers. I babysat weekly throughout high school and regularly throughout college. I have also worked as an EMT, a lifeguard and swim instructor, and as a Home Health Aide. I love kids and I love to play and foster learning. I myself like to play sports, read, and spend time outdoors. I have a college degree and have lived in Chicago for 4 years.
