Hi, I'm Chloe! I'm an experienced nanny and babysitter, and I've been working with kids since I was one myself! I started babysitting when I was 11, and basically haven't stopped since then. I've been a nanny, worked in a day care, been a mother's helper, a tutor, and provided almost every other child care service. I'm new to Chicago, but was working in Denver for the last 12 years. Babies and toddlers are my absolute favorite, but I love kids of all ages. I have experience with kids as young as one week and as old as 16 years, and have worked with siblings and groups of up to 26 kids! I have a gift for dissolving sibling conflict and dealing with tears and tantrums. I am affectionate, reliable, creative, and flexible. I am a student at SAIC looking for work around my class schedule, with a long career behind me already, and can't wait to care for your kids!

Hi! My name is Krystyna. I have taken care of infants and toddlers for the past 12 years. I have worked at Bright Horizons in River East downtown Chicago as an infant and toddler teacher. I also worked for two baseball seasons for the Chicago White Sox taking care of the players kids at the home games. I've been a nanny for 9 years. I’ve nannied in New Orleans, Dallas, and New York. I’m a certified Nurse Assistant and CPR certified. I have my own car so transportation isn't a problem. Please feel free to contact me with any questions that you have. Hope to hear from you!

“Krystyna was absolutely wonderful with our 9-month-old daughter, Anna! From the moment she arrived, she was professional, kind, and put us at ease. Anna took to her right away, and as we were leaving, we could already hear squeals of joy, always a great sign! It was clear that Krystyna knows how to engage with little ones, and we felt completely comfortable knowing Anna was in great hands. We’ll definitely be asking her to come back and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a fantastic babysitter.”
