Hi there! My name is Emily and I am currently a student at Northeastern Illinois University! I am an undergrad student specializing in social work while working as a part-time sitter/house manager. I love children and have always found my way into many children’s hearts. I have previous baby sitting experience as well as years experience working with the Chicago Park District as recreational leader for their play camp program that gave me the opportunity to work alongside 20 amazing children from the ages of 4-5 in the community. Being a camper myself when I was younger I learned the importance of having the people around children teaching them values and Influencing them in the right ways. I am a very creative person in my free time and always like to have a good time! Arts and crafts are a speciality of mine! Plus knowing about the latest toys for the kiddos!

Hi! My name is Julia and I’m a college grad from DePaul. I have my bachelors in psychology with a concentration in human development, and currently work full time as a nanny to a 2 year old girl and two elementary aged boys. I love working with all ages of kids, and am hoping to find parents looking for a regular date night sitter on the weekends when I am not nannying. I have my own car for transportation, and am comfortable working with pets. Aside from my current nannying job, I have been working with children for the last 8 years throughout high school and college. I am CPR certified and feel comfortable caring for children over 6 months of age. I enjoy getting creative and having fun with the kids I sit for, and am also very comfortable at handling bed times and getting kiddos to sleep. I’m happy to set up a phone call or zoom meeting to chat further if you are interested :)

I am the oldest of six children and was more of a parent than a sister to all of them. The two youngest kids are 15 and 13 years younger than I am. I love children and have always enjoyed being around them. I am a trained Chef and can cook or help prepare meals if needed. I am also a Chef Instructor and Assistant Food Stylist. At this time I am interested in occasional babysitting to supplement my freelance income. Being able to hang out with kids would be a fun and fulfilling way to do that.

“Quick to respond, so friendly, and good with my 11 year old. They had a great time!”
