Frank $17 per hour for 1 child

Hello! My name is Frank (but I go by Frankie). I am a college student offering babysitting services. I really enjoy working with grade school kids. I am currently working at an after-school program where I work with over sixty kids. I like to make a safe and positive environment where kids can have a fun time. I can help them with homework, plan some fun activities to do, take them to a local park, or watch a movie. I'm a-ok with pets (mostly dogs and cats). As of right now, I am not CPR certified, but I'm trying to get my certificate. I'm in my second year of college, so I don't have a degree (yet). Also, I have a drivers license, but I don't have a car. I have reliable transportation to and from homes, but I am not available for child transportation and will not drive family vehicles. However, I can walk them if schools/activities are in walking distance. That's about it. Feel free to reach out whenever you need a babysitter. Leave a review and give some feedback and hopefully we can work with each in the future. Thank you so much for reading. Take care! :)

Hi there! My name is Caitlyn and I am 30 years old with over 13 years of true nannying and babysitting experience. I first started babysitting neighborhood kids at age 15, quickly becoming the go to babysitter on my block for date nights. I was a full time nanny for 2 kiddos (7 & 10) in Evanston the summer of 2014, and a full time overnight camp counselor the summer before that for a cabin full of 8 year olds. Right after graduating from Loyola in 2017, I became a teachers assistant at a private preschool/daycare in Lakeview, helping out with all classrooms from newborns-5 years. Experienced with children of all ages, I love supporting continuous development and growth and take a lot of pride in my ability to connect with and teach children; I am punctual, experienced, and would like to think lots of fun :) After working in tech sales for 5 years, my heart called me back to early childhood, and after being a short term nanny for a 3mo old girl before she began daycare full time last summer, I began teaching in Children’s House (3-5 years) at Guidepost Montessori. My fiancé and I just moved to Fox River Grove to be closer to family, so I’m available in the surrounding areas most weekday evenings after 5:30-6pm, and occasional weekends! Can’t wait to hear from you :)
