Artemis 1 review
$20 per hour for 1 child

Hi! My name is Artemis, my students call me Teacher Art! I’ve been teaching early childhood since April 2025 and I absolutely LOVE working with kids! My classroom had the most allergy students in the center so I am very familiar with allergy protocols. I have my SBS certification, my SIDS certification, and my Food Handler’s certification as well! My favorite things to do are puzzles, story time, and art activities! I also love getting to see what my students are interested in and using that knowledge to build stronger connections! I have a background in singing and art therapy, and I try to incorporate that into my work with my students. I have two years teaching experience with middle school aged students with disabilities as well. I’m fluent in English and Spanish, and intermediate in ASL. I also have experience working with seniors both in a nursing home and in home care as well. I have experience bathing and dressing seniors, meal prepping for them, and cleaning up their home. My dream would be to become a full time nanny for one family.

“Art was my daughter’s teacher, now her babysitter. Art is the only one we trust outside of family. They are professional, fun, and great at communicating. We know our daughter is having a blast and learning skills when Art is with her. Art is fantastic, cant recommend enough”

I have been babysitting/nannying for about 14 years and I love working with kids! I have a Masters in Education and working to get a second Masters degree, and I have other relevant childcare experience from working at a preschool as well as a K-8 summer camp. I am a crafty and creative person, so I love doing art projects and playing outside! I also have experience pet-sitting and house-sitting.

$18 per hour for 1 child
Booked by 1 family in Evanston, IL

Hi! My name is Emily. I'm a 4th year medical student looking to connect with my community and offset some of medical school's high costs. I am offering child care, dog care, and household services. During my training I have cared for pediatric patients in both acute (emergency), inpatient, and clinic settings. I love working with kids and am currently interviewing with pediatric residency programs! I am BLS certified for infants, children, and adults. I have experience babysitting for children between 2 months and 12 years. I believe it's my duty as a caregiver to help create a safe and magical world for children to explore. When babysitting I love taking the kids to explore outside, reading books, and making up any wacky games I can think of! I am a dog owner and feel comfortable caring for most dogs. I have a car and am happy to do any appointment/activity drop off, grocery shopping, cooking, or cleaning needed in the household.

I am a sophomore in college at Case Western Reserve University in Cleveland, Ohio. I have years of experience working with all ages. My younger sister is 13 years my junior and I have cared for her since she was born. I was a youth leader with the Neighborhood Boys and Girls Clubs in Chicago and a camp counselor and daycare worker with JCYS. I have been a full time summer nanny for a family with two children under the ages of 6 for the past two years. I have babysit for around 20 families throughout my babysitting career! I am looking for babysitting jobs in Cleveland during the school year and Chicago during Holidays and summers.

“Ava is a wonderful babysitter. She kept my daughter active, having fun and learning while doing things! My daughter LOVES Ava and gets so excited when she is babysitting. I recommend Ava without hesitation. You and your kiddos will love her.”
