Hi-my name is Arianna and I’m a Chicago native! I’ve been working in childcare since I was an early teenager, from volunteer work to nannying in recent years. I have experience from neonatal care all the way to school age children, but have a soft spot for infants. As a medical assistant, I’m trained and certified in BLS and CPR and have a vast knowledge on medical conditions and treatments. I can administer medications and provide wound care when medically indicated. I’m also available for household errands and have my own car and have never been in an accident. I’m more than flexible to help meet your needs!
Hi! My name is Becca :) I am a current Child Family Therapist looking for occasional evening and weekend babysitting gigs. I have 10 years of paid child-care experience- everything from date-night babysitting to full-time and summer nannying to working as a camp counselor. I also work with children and families in a therapeutic capacity as a professional social worker. I have the most experience with the 0-5 age range. I love to read books with kids, engage in imaginative play, color, do puzzles, and go for walks! I am CPR/First Aid certified, comfortable with pets, have access to reliable transportation, and am happy to provide references as requested. Excited to hopefully connect!
Hi. I have just completed my first year of medical school and am working part time on a summer project in the city. I worked as a nanny and summer camp counselor throughout college, and thus have spent extensive time caring for children. I taught swim lessons, horse-back riding, and other camp-related activities. I have flexible hours this summer and am hoping to help out families as I can! I also have a car and can assist with transport.
I am a young professional available for weekend babysitting in the Chicago area. I love kids and have had several nanny jobs while in college. I love to draw and do creative activities with kids!
Hi families! My name is Isaly, and I am an elementary educator with (over 20 years) experience teaching and supporting children in both classroom and childcare settings. I have worked with children across a variety of ages and backgrounds, including experience in social-emotional learning, literacy support, enrichment activities, and structured care. I’m known for being calm, dependable, nurturing, and highly attentive to children’s emotional and physical safety. As a teacher, I understand the importance of patience, communication, routines, and creating environments where children feel secure, engaged, and supported. I’m comfortable helping with: -Infant and child supervision -Bedtime and evening routines -Reading and homework support -Educational/play-based activities -Meal/snack preparation -Outdoor activities and active play -Light tidying related to child care Families often appreciate that I bring both professional educational experience and genuine warmth into the spaces I work in. Whether you need occasional babysitting, event support, summer help, or consistent care, I strive to be someone both parents and children feel comfortable with and can trust. I look forward to connecting with your family!
