Trusted, Caring & Dependable Childcare for Children of All Ages. Finding someone you can truly trust with your children is important. I provide attentive, nurturing care for children of all ages, with a strong focus on their safety, comfort, and individual needs. I currently babysit occasionally and have years of hands-on experience caring for children. As a mother of two adult daughters, I understand the importance of patience, consistency, and creating a positive environment where children feel comfortable and cared for. I’m respectful of each family’s routines and parenting preferences. I also have excellent references, reliable transportation, and flexible availability with advance notice. My goal is simple: to give parents peace of mind while their children are in my care. I’d be happy to connect and learn more about your childcare needs.

“Diaw is great, very helpful taking care of infants and toddlers!”

Hello! My name is Annaliese and I am a medical student at UNC Chapel Hill SOM who is in Chicago to perform research for the summer! I am in Chicago from 7/2 - 7/31. I am fully vaccinated (with booster) and have had extensive experience with kids; I worked as a substitute teacher in special education K-8 during college breaks, served as a camp counselor at a summer music camp, have babysat for at least 35 families since I was 15, and tutored chemistry and physics for high school and college students. I LOVE cooking (esp. healthy foods!) and would be happy to help meal prep and perform light household chores (i.e light cleaning, dishwashing, laundry) for you and your family. I would also be happy to help your kids with tutoring if needed and am a huge fan of off-screen time. Regarding travel, I am absolutely open to it and have traveled with families to Tahoe and Northeast Harbor and as a nanny recently! Please don't hesitate to reach out if you think I would be a good fit for you and your family! :)

“Annaliese was wonderful. She was so kind, fun, and reliable. My kids loved spending time with her and she kept us up to date on how the kids were doing. ”

Hello! My name is Kara, and I would be honored to support you and your family during this special time. I bring over 20 years of experience working with children, and my passion for caregiving began early watching my mother run a daycare from our home as a teenager. Since then, I’ve had the privilege of working with children of all ages in a variety of settings, including private homes, daycare centers, public schools, and an emergency youth shelter a role I found especially meaningful. I have spent over 15 years as a dedicated nanny (no longer working full-time in that role) and have since specialized as a Newborn Care Specialist (NCS) for the past 8 years and a Birth and Postpartum Doula for the past 5 years. Whether you need gentle, experienced overnight newborn care or doula support through birth and postpartum recovery, I’m here to help. I also offer occasional babysitting, depending on my availability. Please note: Rates vary depending on the type of care provided. Newborn Care Specialist and Doula services start at $45/hour. I look forward to connecting with you and supporting your growing family!

“Amazing caregiver, would trust Kara with my kids without blinking an eye. Will work with her again!”

Booked by 5 families in River Grove, IL

I am an experienced babysitter who loves to help foster creative thinking through play! I've babysat children ages 6 months - 13 years old and I've also worked with children and adults in educational settings including The Piven Theatre Workshop, Time Education, Right At School After School program, and Flashpoint College. I am an engaging child caretaker who knows how to show up and be on time, with current CPR/AED certification. Separately from childcare, I run my own business, which means I'm not seeking a full time role but I do have some flexible availability that can be helpful for families seeking backup care, date nights, or potentially part-time care.

“Carrie is great! She went above and beyond. Our daughter loved her and asked if she could be her babysitter all the time. Also our dog had an accident and Carrie stayed cool and helped. Definitely recommended”
