Marinna 1 review
$20 per hour for 1 child
Booked by 1 family in Oak Park, IL

Hi! My name’s Marinna, I’m a student athlete at the University of Illinois Chicago! I’m a very reliable, on-time, hardworking person. Growing up in an intense sport taught me how to manage stressful situations, as well as staying organized. Working with kids or animas is a way I love spending my free time, and making an earning for myself. I’ve always loved being around kids. My summer jobs always consist of being a nanny, last year I worked with a family of 4 children all summer. I also work with families year round, I’ve had experience with three-year olds and one-year olds. I even was a teacher assistant in a third grade classroom, which taught me so much on managing so many kids at once. All of these experiences helped me understand a lot about how to value consistency, patience, and attentiveness-ensuring children’s safety. Whether I'm assisting with bedtime, planning activities, or simply ensuring that your child feels taken care of, I’d love to help!

“Very professional and responsible!”

Nora $18 per hour for 1 child

Hi! My name is Nora, I’m 19 years old, and I have 3–5 years of experience in child care, pet care, and household help. I’ve worked with kids of all ages, including past experience as a nanny for a family with five children and working at Schaumburg Kasper, an after-school program where I helped lead group activities and assist with homework. I also have experience caring for my grandmother, which gave me a strong sense of patience, compassion, and responsibility in senior care. At home, I take care of three dogs and a cat, so I’m very comfortable with animals of all sizes and energy levels. I genuinely enjoy cooking, cleaning, and organizing—I find it rewarding to help families feel supported and stress-free. I’m reliable, caring, and always ready to jump in wherever I’m needed!

Megan Marie 1 review
$18 per hour for 1 child

I love helping families in the neighborhood, and I'm great with homework help, meal prep, keeping the place clean, staying patient, and keep the house safe and quiet so that children can sleep while you're away.

“Megan is an excellent babysitter. She is reliable, professional, and experienced, and she’s wonderful with my 1.5-year-old. She keeps him engaged with activities, is attentive to his needs, and makes sure he’s safe and happy. I have complete confidence in her and highly recommend her to other families.”
