Nora $18 per hour for 1 child

Hi! My name is Nora, I’m 19 years old, and I have 3–5 years of experience in child care, pet care, and household help. I’ve worked with kids of all ages, including past experience as a nanny for a family with five children and working at Schaumburg Kasper, an after-school program where I helped lead group activities and assist with homework. I also have experience caring for my grandmother, which gave me a strong sense of patience, compassion, and responsibility in senior care. At home, I take care of three dogs and a cat, so I’m very comfortable with animals of all sizes and energy levels. I genuinely enjoy cooking, cleaning, and organizing—I find it rewarding to help families feel supported and stress-free. I’m reliable, caring, and always ready to jump in wherever I’m needed!

Lila $20 per hour for 1 child

Hi there! My name is Lila and I’m looking to do some babysitting while I’m home for college! I’ve lived in Bucktown my whole life but reside in Pittsburgh for part of the year as I’m a sophmore at the University of Pittsburgh. I love crafts, cooking, and overall being super silly and fun with kids! With four years of experience as a camp counselor at an overnight camp, I have plenty of energy when hanging out with younger kids. I’m more experienced with kids seven and older, but I’ve also babysat for kids under that. I have two dogs of my own, so no pets will be a hassle. Thank you!

Becca $25 per hour for 1 child

Hi! My name is Becca :) I recently graduated with my Master of Social Work and am looking for part-time or short-term babysitting gigs while I search for my full-time job. I have 10 years of paid child-care experience- everything from date-night babysitting to full-time and summer nannying to working as a camp counselor. I also have worked with children and families in a therapeutic capacity as a social work intern. I have the most experience with the 0-5 age range. I love reading books, coloring, doing puzzles, and going for walks! I am CPR/First Aid certified, comfortable with pets, have access to reliable transportation, and am happy to provide references as requested. Excited to hopefully connect!

Alexandra 1 review
$18 per hour for 1 child

Hi, My name is Alexandra! Caring for kids has always come naturally to me - I'm someone who genuinely loves providing calm, nurturing care and helping little ones feel safe, comfortable, and supported. I started working with kids in high school when I got to assist classes for kids ages 2-9 years at my dance studio. Since then, I've babysat for multiple families with children a variety of ages and spent two years working at a city daycare, caring for children from 6 months to 6 years old. Through that experience, I discovered that I especially love working with infants and toddlers and am drawn to the more nurturing side of caregiving. I studied psychology in college with the initial goal of becoming a teacher, and while my career path ultimately led elsewhere, my passion for caring for children has not left. I currently work full-time in a corporate setting, which has made me very reliable, organized, and communicative - qualities I would also bring to a caregiving role. Due to this schedule, I am mostly available on evenings and weekends, but can also provide some mother's helper care during the day and can be flexible! I am energetic, attentive, clean and responsible, and I take pride in being someone that parents can rely on and truly trust. I love supporting families and caring for children, and I'm grateful to be able to do meaningful work with little ones while helping out families before I have children of my own.

“We were lucky enough to have Alexandra as our neighbor and primary baby sitter when my children were in elementary school. She was incredibly engaged and always pulled together fun activities for them. I have two very different children and she was great at meeting both of their needs. Whether they were playing a game in the yard or doing a craft, they were always so excited to spend time with her! We as a family loved getting to know Alexandra. She is beyond genuine. She's kind, caring and extremely dependable. Our kids have aged out of needing a sitter but we stay in touch. I would highly recommend Alexandra to any family with infants up to grade school children. She is a wonderful babysitter!”
