Hi! I’m Michelle, a nursing student currently completing my prerequisites with the goal of becoming a registered nurse. My background in healthcare and education has given me a strong foundation in safety, responsibility, and caring for others. I’m also CNA-trained and certified in CPR/BLS. I have several years of experience working with children of different ages. I previously worked as a support teacher with first-grade students, including children with neurodivergent needs, and as a camp counselor with young children. I also have experience caring for toddlers and creating age-appropriate activities such as crafts, baking, games, and outdoor play. I’m comfortable following routines, preparing simple meals, helping with bedtime, and keeping children engaged in a safe and positive environment. I love caregiving because I enjoy being someone children can feel comfortable and safe around while also helping them learn, explore, and become more independent. I’m patient, attentive, and dependable, and I understand how important it is for parents to have someone they can trust. A little about me: I’m originally from Mexico and speak both English and Spanish. I recently moved to Chicago and love exploring the city, trying new foods, crocheting, baking, and spending time outdoors. I’m currently balancing school with childcare work, so I’m especially interested in part-time and recurring opportunities that fit around my class schedule.
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 there! My name is Alvi and I am a part time babysitter in the Chicago area. I was originally a full-time nanny and babysitter and have worked with children a wide variety of ages. I went to college for musical theatre so I'm very outgoing and playful and love singing for kiddos! I used to work as a teaching artist with Stages Chicago and enjoy trying musical instruments and dancing with kids as young as 18 months. Currently, I work fulltime at an optometrist office during the day, but would love to fill my evenings and Saturdays with some baby-sitting gigs. I keep spaces tidy and prefer no complicated meal-prep.
“Alvi was so fun! Prompt, professional and my daughter would be happy to hang with Alvi again. Till next time!”
Hi! My name is Hailey I graduated from Columbia College Chicago in the fall of 2024. I live in Streeterville so I don’t drive but I’m willing to commute/ have experience ubering with kids. I’m a model and actor full time, so babysitting/nannying is the perfect way for me to make money on the side while I do what I love! I have 6+ years of childcare experience (the plus if for all of the years I grew up watching my little brother 😂). I worked as a camp counselor at YMCA back in Dallas Texas (where I’m from) in 2020. I realized I loved working with kids and started working for a babysitting agency when I first moved to Chicago in 2021. I have kiddos I’ve watched since they were newborns that are now about to start pre school. I have kiddos I’ve known since they were in elementary school entering high school. I love kids and helping where I can! I remember all of my babysitters from when I was a kid. My goal is to make sure that I leave a positive mark on the extra childhood memories of every child I watch. I want to make sure that the kids have fun, feel safe, and grow. I went to art school, so I’m very creative. I love all pets! I love tidying up and I’m ok cleaning when needed as long as it’s discussed. I have a pretty open schedule and am available for last minute care. Just let me know how I can help and I’d love to!
“It was an absolute pleasure having Hailey in our home. She established a connection with our children very quickly, all while allowing them to naturally adapt. She kept them active and engaged for the full time she was with us, mostly using imaginative play. Highly recommend. ”
Hi Family, I’m Jasmyne a Chicago native and the proud second-oldest of six siblings — so you could say childcare has always been a big part of my life! I also have two adorable nephews I help care for regularly, which keeps my hands (and heart) full. In addition to years of hands-on family experience, I’ve also worked at a daycare, where I cared for children of different ages and helped plan fun, educational activities. On Sundays, I teach kids’ Bible studies at my church, which has deepened my patience, creativity, and love for helping children learn and grow. I’m married to my high school sweetheart, and we share a strong sense of family and community. I bring that same dependable, loving energy to every family I work with. Whether it’s playing outside, helping with homework, or creating crafts, I strive to make every child feel safe, valued, and happy. I’d love to meet you and your little ones!
“Jasmyne and I used to be coworkers and next-door neighbors. She watched my son from time to time, and he absolutely loved having her as a babysitter. He always said she was fun—and she never forgot the snacks! I would confidently recommend Jasmyne to anyone in need of a babysitter; she truly cares for children as if they were her own.”
