Sydne $19 per hour for 1 child

Hi! I am Sydne! I just moved to Chicago with my sister after graduating from the University of Arizona this past year! I am beginning work at Lurie Children’s Hospital as a Registered Nurse this fall! I have been a sitter/ nanny for the last 7 years and keep doing it because I love spending time with kids and helping them grow into kind & inquisitive individuals. I am excited to meet new families and kids in the Chicago area!

Gilary 1 review
$24 per hour for 1 child

Hello! My name is Gilary (pronounced Hilary). I have been taking care of children for as long as I can remember! Whether it’s been for family, friends, or as a paid caretaker. Babysitting/nannying was how I put myself through college, caring for children from infancy to preteens. In 2[removed], I worked as a 4th and 5th grade teacher assistant at a small elementary school. I myself have 6 nephews and nieces, all of whom I have cared for since they were babies. They’re all a bit older now, so I definitely miss having littles in my life! I work as a freelance grant writer, and I am also an actor in Chicago’s vibrant storefront theater scene. This makes me quite flexible and available for daytime care. I also do a bit of dogwalking on the side, so I’m more than happy to care for your pups and pets as well. All in all, I am comfortable with all ages ranging from infancy to teens. I have a car and an Illinois driver's license. I can cook kid-friendly meals, and for school-aged children, am happy to help with homework. I love to do arts and crafts, like knitting, crocheting, scrapbooking, baking, and singing. For any other inquiries, don't hesitate to reach out!

“Gilary is an engaging, kind, detail-oriented caregiver. She was always reliable and responsible when taking care of my toddler. She’s friendly, fun, and easy to communicate with. We loved having her be our regular and occasional sitter, and anyone would be lucky to have her with their kids!”

Booked by 1 family in Lake Bluff, IL

My name is Julia! I am 20 years old and I am a college student. I love taking care of and having fun with children. I am reliable and trustworthy. I have 6 years of experience babysitting a wide range of ages from infants to middle school aged children. I have also tutored elementary and middle school children, so I'm more than willing to help with any work they might have. I played varsity basketball all throughout my time in highschool, I love to play any sports with kids, and would love to teach basketball (if interested) for a fun time outside!:) Look forward to hearing from you!

Wendi $20 per hour for 1 child

I am a public school kindergarten teaching looking for summer jobs! I have 15 years of teaching experience, mostly in preK and kindergarten, and several years of nanny experience including twins and newborns. I have my Masters degree in early childhood education and special training in teaching reading, so if your kiddo needs some summer tutoring, I might be a great fit for your family. I love getting outdoors and enjoying what Chicago has to offer during the summer. My temperament is calm and nurturing, and I focus on implementing consistent routines with the kids I work with.

Katherine $25 per hour for 1 child

I am a responsible and caring nanny. Spanish is my native language, and I understand English very well. I am currently improving my English speaking skills to become more fluent. I am reliable, attentive, and committed to my work. I respect parents’ instructions and routines, but I also like being proactive and bringing new ideas and activities that children can enjoy, including creative and hands-on play, not only technology-based activities. I enjoy seeing them learning, grow and the capacity to discover new things. I like to support their creativity providing a safe, caring and positive environment, where they can feel happy, confident and comfortable. A little about my personality: I can be quiet and reserved at first, but I am very sweet, caring, and enjoy building connections with children. I take my responsibilities seriously and always try to create a warm and positive environment for the families I work with. I also love animals, so I feel very comfortable in homes with pets.
