Hi! My name is Lisa. My full time career is as an art teacher in a selective enrollment high school here in Chicago for the last 30 years. I teach Honors and AP Sculpture and Best Buddies Art. I love babies and kids of all ages! I'm looking for some occasional baby sitting during the summer. I am allergic to dogs, but love cats. I have two adult children of my own. I have my own car and can drive. I'm also fluent in American Sign Language.

Michelle alexandra $20 per hour for 1 child

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.

Jasmyne 4 reviews
$25 per hour for 1 child

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.”

$22 per hour for 1 child
Booked by 5 families in River Grove, IL

I am currently pursuing a masters in occupational therapy at DePaul University and have a passion for helping children. Despite being in grad school, I’m a child at heart, enjoy watching kid movies/cartoons, playing outside, painting, and board games. I have experience with younger siblings, neurodivergent kids, and usually babysit ages 1-12, but am looking forward to gaining more experience across all ages!
