Hi! My name is Krystyna. I have taken care of infants and toddlers for the past 12 years. I have worked at Bright Horizons in River East downtown Chicago as an infant and toddler teacher. I also worked for two baseball seasons for the Chicago White Sox taking care of the players kids at the home games. I've been a nanny for 9 years. I’ve nannied in New Orleans, Dallas, and New York. I’m a certified Nurse Assistant and CPR certified. I have my own car so transportation isn't a problem. Please feel free to contact me with any questions that you have. Hope to hear from you!

Krystyna was absolutely wonderful with our 9-month-old daughter, Anna! From the moment she arrived, she was professional, kind, and put us at ease. Anna took to her right away, and as we were leaving, we could already hear squeals of joy, always a great sign! It was clear that Krystyna knows how to engage with little ones, and we felt completely comfortable knowing Anna was in great hands. We’ll definitely be asking her to come back and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a fantastic babysitter.

Booked by 37 families in Cicero, IL

Hello! My name is Kara, and I would be honored to support you and your family during this special time. I bring over 20 years of experience working with children, and my passion for caregiving began early watching my mother run a daycare from our home as a teenager. Since then, I’ve had the privilege of working with children of all ages in a variety of settings, including private homes, daycare centers, public schools, and an emergency youth shelter a role I found especially meaningful. I have spent over 15 years as a dedicated nanny (no longer working full-time in that role) and have since specialized as a Newborn Care Specialist (NCS) for the past 8 years and a Birth and Postpartum Doula for the past 5 years. Whether you need gentle, experienced overnight newborn care or doula support through birth and postpartum recovery, I’m here to help. I also offer occasional babysitting, depending on my availability. Please note: Rates vary depending on the type of care provided. Newborn Care Specialist and Doula services start at $45/hour. I look forward to connecting with you and supporting your growing family!

Amazing caregiver, would trust Kara with my kids without blinking an eye. Will work with her again!
