Booked by 43 families in Riverside, IL

Hi, my name is Janneth! Originally from Mexico, I’m bilingual in English and Spanish, and I’ve been caring for children since I was 15 years old. Babysitting has always been more than just a job for me, it’s a beautiful way to connect with kids and be welcomed into their world through kindness, patience, and respect. I remember how challenging it was for my parents to find someone they could truly trust to care for me and my siblings. That’s why I take this role seriously and always show up with the same love and respect that my parents wished for us. I love spending time outdoors, doing puzzles, coloring, and listening to music. I’m also great with dogs, I’m happy to help with Spanish homework or practice! Your child’s safety, joy, and well-being are my top priorities, and I look forward to being someone you can count on.

$20 per hour for 1 child
Booked by 37 families in Riverside, IL

My passion for caring for others started at a young age through babysitting, where I learned how important it is to be patient, responsible, attentive, and supportive. Caring for children of different ages and personalities taught me how to stay calm, adapt to different situations, and make sure the people in my care always felt safe and comfortable. Those same qualities have carried with me into my career as an ICU nurse, where I now care for patients during some of their most challenging and vulnerable moments. Whether it’s providing hands-on care, offering reassurance, or staying calm in a critical situation, I truly enjoy being someone others can rely on. My experiences have shaped me into a compassionate, dependable, and adaptable caregiver, and I’m grateful to be in a profession where I can make a difference in people’s lives every day.
