Hi there! My name is Jessica and I am a high school teacher within Chicago Public Schools. I majored in history education and went on to earn my Master's in Instructional Design, along with an additional certification in special education. I have a wealth of experience working with young people in many capacities, including teaching, tutoring, babysitting, nannying, and coaching varsity volleyball. I am truly passionate about helping children and teens learn, grow, and have fun! Because of my background, I am highly skilled in helping kids manage their behavior and emotions in a positive way that includes them in the process. A little more about me: I am originally from Ohio and have been living and teaching here in Chicago for the past seven years. When I'm not in the classroom or babysitting, my hobbies include hiking, rock climbing, reading, and spending quality time with my dog, Peanut! I look forward to meeting your family!
Hi! I have worked with children of all ages for over 10 years. My mother established her career in early childhood in the 90's and has successfully stayed in business for over 20 years. I have worked in the early childhood field since 2016. I have also worked in the legal field supporting lawyers who specialize in the safety and upbringing of children (GAL). I have cared for all age groups. I am also a university graduate. I teach and lead with love, and because of it, I still have beautiful relationships with all of the children who have been in my care, many now teenagers andyoung adults! My experience as a child care provider has included caring for children at hotels while their parents went out for a night on the town (and bringing something fun to help the transition be easier for parents and their children). I love kids because they are JUST awesome! Also, I am always up for negotiating when it comes to cost of childcare.
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!
I'm a fun, outgoing, and caring individual looking for part-time, flexible hours! I have a lot of experience with babies, toddlers, and elementary-age kids. When I'm not babysitting, I'm an actor around Chicago and teach theatre to kids ages 1-14, as a visiting teaching artist in preschools, elementary schools, and in special ed cluster classrooms. I have years of experience working with kids on the autism spectrum and pride myself on seeing all kids as whole, autonomous people. I love pets, arts and crafts, reading, and singing and dancing!
Hi! My name is Rebecca and I am 32 years old. I moved to Chicago in March, from Colorado. I am offering child care and pet care services. I've been baby sitting my whole life. Additionally, I was a full time nanny for a summer and a camp counselor for another summer as well. I love kids of all ages. Spending time with my partners' young nieces is a big joy in my life. I am patient, kind, punctual and dependable. Happy to work with families with animals as well. I'm a pet lover. Would love to connect with you :)
