Isabella $19 per hour for 1 child

Hii my names Isabella ! I’m a 20 year old currently studying Biology with a focus on Genetics. I’m in my final year and excited to be just one year away from earning my bachelor’s degree. I’ve always been passionate about science and the way it helps us understand life on a deeper level, especially in the field of genetics. I’ve also always had a natural connection with kids I love spending time with them, learning from their curiosity, and helping them grow. Growing up, my family worked in household roles like housekeeping and house management, and they often took me along. So from a young age, I got to see what it means to be responsible, organized, and attentive to others’ needs. That experience really shaped the way I carry myself today. Outside of school and work, I love being outdoors, trying new foods, and finding little adventures around the city. Whether it’s going to a street market, spending time with family, or just relaxing with a good movie, I like to stay balanced and appreciate the small things in life.

I have most recently worked with infants and toddlers and I am knowledgeable of developmental milestones and engaging play. I have also worked with preschool and school age children as a babysitter, swim instructor and dance instructor. I am a patient, mindful and creative person who loves to be active and outdoors with children of all ages and foster a safe, loving and engaging environment. I am CPR/First Aid certified and have references available. *** haven’t been able to change my availability but available for date nights :) **** Friday & Saturday nights :) *** also available during the day for the next month!! M (anytime) T (afternoon/evening) W (anytime) F (afternoon/evening)

“Maura was amazing today with our 10 month old baby! He is going through stranger anxiety, separation anxiety, teething, AND wasn't feeling the best today, and despite all of that, he really enjoyed spending time with Maura and felt comfortable almost immediately. That almost never happens! Maura was so sweet with him, kept him engaged and happy, and even loaded/unloaded our dishwasher & straightened up during his nap and before leaving for the day. He had a really fun day! We are very excited to have Maura back as our regular part-time nanny and sitter!”

Savannah $20 per hour for 1 child

Compassionate and dependable caregiver, specializing in creative and recreational caregiving, with experience supporting children, adults with disabilities, and elders. A graduate of the School of the Art Institute of Chicago, I bring a creative approach to caregiving, incorporating activities that engage, stimulate, and inspire those I support. I bring experience working in a preschool with children aged 2-4 years old. I also have experience in bilingual classrooms with children aged 3–10, supporting learning, engagement, and individualized attention to meet students’ diverse needs. These experiences have strengthened my patience, adaptability, and communication skills, allowing me to connect with individuals of all ages and abilities. Additionally, in my part-time role at Renewal Memory, I provide companionship and meaningful engagement for adults with Alzheimer’s, assisting with daily routines and creating a supportive, positive environment. I am also a volunteer at Arts of Life, where I help support professional artists with disabilities by offering guidance, assistance, and encouragement in their daily work. I also have hands-on experience in household management and organization, maintaining structured environments, managing schedules, and supporting daily tasks to keep routines running smoothly. My combination of caregiving expertise, creative approach, and organizational skills allows me to provide meaningful, engaging, and well-rounded care for those I support.

Welcome! Hi there, thank you so much for taking the time to read my profile. I know how important it is to find someone you can truly trust with your child, and I take that responsibility very seriously. Safety and reliability are always my top priorities, but I also believe babysitting should be fun. I am a lighthearted, patient, and playful person who genuinely enjoys spending time with kids. I love making them laugh, keeping them engaged, and helping them feel relaxed and happy while you’re away. Whether we are playing games, being creative, or just being silly in a way that still respects your rules, my goal is for your child to have a positive and enjoyable experience. I am attentive and responsible, and I make sure your child is safe, cared for, and comfortable at all times. I am happy to follow your routines closely, whether that includes homework, meals, or bedtime, and I communicate clearly so you always know how things are going. If you are looking for someone who will keep your child safe while also making their time fun and enjoyable, I would love to connect. Thank you for considering me and I look forward to meeting you and your family. Warmly, Celina
