Hailey
Booked by 2 repeat families

$25 per hour for 1 child
Booked by 3 families in Berwyn, IL

Hi! My name is Hailey I graduated from Columbia College Chicago in the fall of 2024. I live in Streeterville so I don’t drive but I’m willing to commute/ have experience ubering with kids. I’m a model and actor full time, so babysitting/nannying is the perfect way for me to make money on the side while I do what I love! I have 6+ years of childcare experience (the plus if for all of the years I grew up watching my little brother 😂). I worked as a camp counselor at YMCA back in Dallas Texas (where I’m from) in 2020. I realized I loved working with kids and started working for a babysitting agency when I first moved to Chicago in 2021. I have kiddos I’ve watched since they were newborns that are now about to start pre school. I have kiddos I’ve known since they were in elementary school entering high school. I love kids and helping where I can! I remember all of my babysitters from when I was a kid. My goal is to make sure that I leave a positive mark on the extra childhood memories of every child I watch. I want to make sure that the kids have fun, feel safe, and grow. I went to art school, so I’m very creative. I love all pets! I love tidying up and I’m ok cleaning when needed as long as it’s discussed. I have a pretty open schedule and am available for last minute care. Just let me know how I can help and I’d love to!

“It was an absolute pleasure having Hailey in our home. She established a connection with our children very quickly, all while allowing them to naturally adapt. She kept them active and engaged for the full time she was with us, mostly using imaginative play. Highly recommend. ”
