Hi! My name is Natalya and I am a Research assistant and student at UIC. I work as a Nursing tech at Northwestern twice a week. I am primarily available for occasional babysitting on weekend days and week nights! I’ve worked with high school students previously for two years in Chicago and for a year in Madrid, Spain. I am the second oldest of five girls so I have been taking care of younger siblings my whole life. I began babysitting about 12 years ago. I also worked as a nanny for one family for four years in college. I am hoping to eventually become a pediatrician! In my free time I love to read, run, and drink good coffee or tea.

Hi, I'm Cece (short for Mareecia)! I'm a babysitter, nanny, and tutor with over 8 years of experience, combining structured learning with warmth and creativity. I'm open to all ages, though I'm most comfortable and experienced with children ages 2-10. My experience spans from summer camp counseling (ages 1-10) to remote tutoring in reading, writing, and study skills (ages 6-12). I offer more than just childcare: I'm a tutor + nanny in one, providing homework help, engaging activities, and a calm, positive routine to support your child's growth. Beyond caregiving, I bring a high level of professionalism and reliability from my corporate background at JPMorgan and Accenture. I'm also a writer, creator, and outdoor enthusiast who enjoys hiking and snowboarding. Currently, I'm learning Spanish, Italian, and French. Top Skills: Structured Routines: Skilled at creating calm, predictable schedules. Positive Engagement: Using redirection and enthusiasm to create a great environment. Academic Support: Expert in reading/writing for ages 6-12. I'm passionate about making a difference in children's lives and would love to connect with your family!

“CeCe is on it! She arrived ready to play with the girls (6 and 3). She asked for emergency contact info and then took the girls to the park as my husband and I made our way out. The girls had a fun night with her. There were no issues with the bedtime routine. They want her back for sure!”

Hi everyone! I’m Jenny! I’m a Chicago-based professional who genuinely loves spending time with kids and creating a fun, safe, and caring environment for them. My love for childcare started when I was 15, when I began volunteering at a local daycare. Since then, I’ve continued to babysit occasionally for families in my community, and I especially love coming up with fun activities like arts and crafts, trips to the park, reading, and creative play. I’m also a very proud aunt to my niece and nephews, who have given me plenty of experience keeping up with little ones! I’m bilingual in English and Spanish and have a deep appreciation for different cultures and backgrounds. I recently graduated from the University of Illinois Urbana-Champaign and now work professionally in the legal field, so I’m responsible, organized, and dependable. I’m available on weekends and most weekday evenings after 6:00 PM. I’d love to connect with families in the area and learn more about how I can help! I’m also happy to provide references upon request.

“Excellent sitter! Thoughtful, patient and very good with our 4 year old. We’ve hired her multiple times now ”
