$30 per hour for 1 child
Booked by 35 families in Vernon Hills, IL

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 :)

Serena $25 per hour for 1 child

Hi, I’m Serena! I’ve been the designated babysitter for my little cousins for as long as I can remember. As the youngest of three with two older brothers, I’ve always enjoyed being around children and caring for others. I’m also a nurse with experience working with all age groups, from newborns to adults. I’m responsible, patient, attentive, and calm under pressure, with a strong understanding of safety and care. I love keeping kids engaged through play, activities, and making sure they feel comfortable and cared for. I’m excited to bring my experience and caring personality to every family I work with!

Jonathan $20 per hour for 1 child

Hi! My name is Jonathan, I am 22 years old, and I am a pediatric registered nurse. I have experience caring for children from newborns through 18 years old in both surgical transplant and general medicine settings. I love working with kids and also have personal experience babysitting my two nephews, from the time they were babies through their school-aged years. My responsibilities have included playing fun games, helping with homework, preparing meals, and keeping them safe and happy. Although I work full time with children as a nurse, I have four days off each week and would love to spend some of that time babysitting. I’m reliable, caring, and bring the same compassion I use in nursing to the families I work with.
