I feel most comfortable being with children but can also can help out with homework, playtime, meals, light housework, and piano practice if applicable.

Booked by 5 families in Harwood Heights, IL

Hi, my name is Kati! I have been working with kids and pets for 12 years. I am currently in the process of going back to graduate school for Occupational Therapy, hoping to work in the pediatric sector. I just finished a summer internship with a pediatric occupational therapy clinic where I learned about developmental milestones, sensory needs, and helping kids communicate, as well as a variety of other skills! I currently provide part-time after school care to three children, so I have a good amount of flexibility and availability for daytime coverage, and date nights. I have also provided after school nannying for a family in Cincinnati for two years and a one other family in Chicago for three years. I have provided childcare to dozens of other families across the city, including for school closures, childcare gaps, and date nights. I’ve worked in the childcare part of conferences and weddings multiple times. I was a camp counselor for a theatre camp for two years leading ages 5-18 through a variety of activities. I currently volunteer at Lurie Children’s Hospital’s Almost Home Kids. I am CPR certified for the fifth time.

“Kati was quick to respond to my job posting and answered all my questions. She helped supervise several small children at my wedding reception and was a huge hit with the parents and kids. The parents loved how attentive she was. I would recommend Kati for any typical babysitting job or event babysitting! Thanks Kati!”

Important notice: I will not be available until December 23rd. I won’t be available for any bookings until then. Hello. My name is Jenn, and I am a former K-3rd grade Art teacher and currently an English teacher in Spain. I will be back in Chicago soon and would love to continue connecting with families. I have worked with children of various ages and love keeping them active and engaged in fun activities. I speak both English and Spanish and have experience teaching Spanish as well. I have two cats, so I don't mind taking care of pets as well. I am a very outgoing person with a bubbly personality. If you have any questions, please don’t hesitate to reach out.
