Haley Batavia
$25 per hour for 1 child

Hi, I’m Haley! Growing up as the oldest of 5 children, my experience with child care started at a young age. I had the privilege of learning babysitting basics right at home, which made me ready to babysit neighbors and cousins throughout middle school and high school, college, and even post grad. Whether it be a date night here and there, all day nannying, or overnight care, caring for children has always been something I enjoy and excel at. I do believe my education and work experience allowed me to become an even better provider. At Loras College, I double majored in Public Relations and Spanish, studied abroad in Spain where I taught ESL, was part of the campus Peace & Justice Club, and worked as a Solid Waste Education intern. I thoroughly enjoyed teaching students about the importance of taking care of our earth. My experience in college very much shaped me into someone who wanted to use talents to do something moral and ethical with my time. This passion opened the door to what would become my career for the last 8 years: Parks and Recreation. I can’t put into words how much I loved being the Superintendent of Marketing at the Oak Brook Park District. The work, the people, serving the community, and being part of providing special memories to people aged 0-100 filled my cup with pure joy. I didn’t think anything could make me walk away from this career, until, I had my precious daughter in May of 2024. Life is full of surprises! As of September 2025, I am now a stay at home mom, who enjoys every second of the day with my child. Motherhood has reminded me how much I enjoy being with children, teaching them new things, going on adventures, and helping them grow. I am seeking a part time nanny position that would allow me bring my daughter with me. We promise to be the best care giver (and little friend) to your family! We also know how to prepare meals, clean up, and take care of cats and dogs. Please feel free to reach out to me at any time if you have questions or would like to speak to my references.

Savannah St. Charles
$17 per hour for 1 child

My name is Savannah and I have been a babysitter/nanny for 1 year. While I have babysat before then, they were only one-timers. I am looking for a long-term position with the right family & kids! My responsibilities could include: basic homework help (elementary school and down), meal prep or cooking, light housework, laundry, picking up from school, and much more! The possibilities are really endless. I am a very fun, responsible, loving babysitter or nanny. I ensure the safety and care of your child/children above all else. And I can also ensure that they will never be bored! I grew up with multiple animals and I am also able to watch your fur babies and take care of them as well. I am an online Nursing Student at Elgin Community College. This online opportunity is supporting me the best because it gives me more capacity and capabilities to be employed. Right now, I am looking for a part-time position, but that could change depending on the conditions of my school schedule. I would love to work with you and your family!

Booked by 3 families in Batavia, IL

I am a mother to three beautiful girls ages 13, 22, and 26. I also have an adorable 1.5 yr old grandson whom I spend a lot of time with. I have been working as a caregiver for seniors for the past two years. I love working with and helping people of all ages. I practice patience, kindness, and love in everything I do ❤️ I provide care for a senior on Mondays and Fridays, so my availability is limited to Tuesdays, Wednesdays, and Thursdays. I am currently booked with a family through May, but will be available to additional families beginning in June.

Suzanne is thoughtful and comes with a plan for the day . She is organized and it’s been a joy to work with her
