Hi! I am a current MBA student at Northwestern Kellogg looking to make some extra money while in school. I'm originally from California and, prior to Kellogg, was working as a clinical researcher at Stanford for over 8 years running clinical trials for Type 1 diabetes technology. My working role involves working with children of all ages (as young as 3 and up) in a healthcare setting, requiring 24/7 oversight for safety. Much of the research I do involve multi-day studies to oversee how new medical devices perform; I’m essentially serving as a babysitter and creating/overseeing activities to do (it’s hard to explain, but I’m more than happy to do so if you’d like more details about what this means!). I have my BS in human development from UC Davis. Aside from my current role, I have multiple years of experience working with children during college in classroom settings, through various baby sitting gigs, and even teaching piano. I love puzzles, baking, playing with my pup (and generally all dogs), and being outside and active as much as possible! I most recently spent a quarter abroad in Australia and was fortunate enough to complete a few multi day backpacking trips around Australia and New Zealand I love being creative and am happy to do arts and crafts and supervised baking projects with your child! I have been CPR/First Aid trained and certified multiple times in the past (including toddler/infant) for my job, though that has since expired. That said, I am confident in my abilities to address emergency situations from my past trainings.
I am a single mom of two (ages 10 and 8). I work as occupational therapist and have knowledge of child development as a mother but also in my profession. I am looking for some additional work when the kids are with their father. I live in the north side of Chicago and able to drive , preferably close to home.
“Rhea is our favorite babysitter! She is so good with kids and has alot of experience since she has kids of her own. We’re so thankful that we found Rhea. My kid likes her a lot and has been asking when Rhea will come over again. ”
Hi! My name is Ambrina. I currently work as a school teacher and have over 5 years of childcare experience. I have worked in multiple childcare centers and cared for children ages 0-5. I'd describe my personality as attentive, patient, caring, and kind. I can also do some household chores like tidying things up, cooking, or cleaning something. I can care for pets as well like feed them and take dogs them out for walks. I can also care for seniors and assist them with their daily needs.
My name is Reilly, I have been babysitting since I was 13 years old, and I love kids! Some things I do in my free time include reading, playing sports, and knitting.
“Reilly is a fantastic babysitter: reliable, super caring and loving to my kids, and there for us when we need her! My wife and I can’t recommend her enough.”
Hi! I’m Kendall and I recently moved to Chicago and am getting my Masters in Education from DePaul. I have previously been a part-time babysitter, nanny, travel nanny, and swim teacher. I’ve cared for kids of all ages since I was 15. I’ve also been pet sitting occasionally for several years and am comfortable with all types of animals!
