Booked by 3 families in Park Ridge, IL

I am from the west side of Chicago and I have been taking care of children since I was a young teenager. I have worked with a company for a little over 2 years, working with kids who attend school. I can help with chores around the household, homework, or any other tasks that will create a comfortable space. I own a dog and know why or how a task involving a dog will be handled. If I have questions I communicate well with the guardians and able to figure out the situation.

“Very good and patient ”

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. ”

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”

Hi! My name is Emily. I'm a 4th year medical student looking to connect with my community and offset some of medical school's high costs. I am offering child care, dog care, and household services. During my training I have cared for pediatric patients in both acute (emergency), inpatient, and clinic settings. I love working with kids and am currently interviewing with pediatric residency programs! I am BLS certified for infants, children, and adults. I have experience babysitting for children between 2 months and 12 years. I believe it's my duty as a caregiver to help create a safe and magical world for children to explore. When babysitting I love taking the kids to explore outside, reading books, and making up any wacky games I can think of! I am a dog owner and feel comfortable caring for most dogs. I have a car and am happy to do any appointment/activity drop off, grocery shopping, cooking, or cleaning needed in the household.

Hi Parents! I’m Sarah, a recent graduate from DePaul University. I have over 10 years of experience in Nannying and babysitting for children between the ages of 1 and 12. As a nanny, I prioritize the safety, creativity and education. I love coming up with new game concepts to play and introduce educational topics. Whether it's engaging in imaginative play, organizing educational activities, or assisting with homework, I strive to make each day meaningful and enjoyable for the children under my care. Some of my favorite activities to do are adventure walks, DIY days, baking and talent discovery! Most importantly, I am passionate about making a positive impact on the lives of children and helping them reach their full potential. I look forward to the opportunity to become a valued member of your family and to contribute to the happiness and well-being of your children. Please let me know if you have any questions about my work history or me. Thank you for your consideration, and stay safe. Best, Sarah

“Sarah was absolutely amazing. My son laughed the minute she came in! We would love to use her again! ”
