$15 per hour for 1 child
Booked by 1 family in Melrose Park, IL

I have been babysitting/nannying for about 14 years and I love working with kids! I have a Masters in Education and working to get a second Masters degree, and I have other relevant childcare experience from working at a preschool as well as a K-8 summer camp. I am a crafty and creative person, so I love doing art projects and playing outside! I also have experience pet-sitting and house-sitting.

“Grace was a quick and efficient communicator and handled my kids exactly as instructed! she was very sweet, professional, and my kids had a great time with her. ”

Artemis 1 review
$20 per hour for 1 child

Hi! My name is Artemis, my students call me Teacher Art! I’ve been teaching early childhood since April 2025 and I absolutely LOVE working with kids! My classroom had the most allergy students in the center so I am very familiar with allergy protocols. I have my SBS certification, my SIDS certification, and my Food Handler’s certification as well! My favorite things to do are puzzles, story time, and art activities! I also love getting to see what my students are interested in and using that knowledge to build stronger connections! I have a background in singing and art therapy, and I try to incorporate that into my work with my students. I have two years teaching experience with middle school aged students with disabilities as well. I’m fluent in English and Spanish, and intermediate in ASL. I also have experience working with seniors both in a nursing home and in home care as well. I have experience bathing and dressing seniors, meal prepping for them, and cleaning up their home. My dream would be to become a full time nanny for one family.

“Art was my daughter’s teacher, now her babysitter. Art is the only one we trust outside of family. They are professional, fun, and great at communicating. We know our daughter is having a blast and learning skills when Art is with her. Art is fantastic, cant recommend enough”

Jacqueline 1 review
$30 per hour for 1 child
Booked by 1 family in Melrose Park, IL

As a nanny with six years of experience, I am confident in my ability to provide excellent care for your children and contribute to your household in a variety of ways. I would love to find a family that needs requiring Friday evening sittings. I would love to help a family unwind from a chaotic week and enter the weekend with well rested children and a clean home. After spending some time playing with the kids and feeding them dinner I will assist your children with their bedtime routine. After the children are asleep I will spend the remaining hours cleaning and tidying the home. I feel it is important for a home to be clean so the family can function as smooth as possible. My passion for seeing children grow into caring, creative, and fun individuals is what drives me to be a nanny. I have been fortunate enough to work with children of varying ages, from infants to pre-teens, throughout my career. In my previous roles, I have always strived to create a sate and nurturing environment for the children in my care, while also encouraging their growth and development through play and educational activities.

Aaliyah $24 per hour for 1 child

Hello! My name is Aaliyah, and I’m a caring, dependable sitter with a genuine passion for working with children. I have experience creating a safe, engaging, and supportive environment where kids can learn, grow, and feel confident being themselves. I love to cook (and bake homemade sweets), going on long walks, and doing arts and crafts. I’m currently in college studying to eventually become a pediatric nurse! I pride myself on being patient, attentive, and communicative with both children and parents, ensuring each family feels comfortable and supported. I own 3 cats, and all my life I grew up with animals from dogs to lizards, so I’m very comfortable with helping out and taking care of your pets too! Thank you for reading :))
