Gilary 1 review
$24 per hour for 1 child

Hello! My name is Gilary (pronounced Hilary). I have been taking care of children for as long as I can remember! Whether it’s been for family, friends, or as a paid caretaker. Babysitting/nannying was how I put myself through college, caring for children from infancy to preteens. In 2[removed], I worked as a 4th and 5th grade teacher assistant at a small elementary school. I myself have 6 nephews and nieces, all of whom I have cared for since they were babies. They’re all a bit older now, so I definitely miss having littles in my life! I work as a freelance grant writer, and I am also an actor in Chicago’s vibrant storefront theater scene. This makes me quite flexible and available for daytime care. I also do a bit of dogwalking on the side, so I’m more than happy to care for your pups and pets as well. All in all, I am comfortable with all ages ranging from infancy to teens. I have a car and an Illinois driver's license. I can cook kid-friendly meals, and for school-aged children, am happy to help with homework. I love to do arts and crafts, like knitting, crocheting, scrapbooking, baking, and singing. For any other inquiries, don't hesitate to reach out!

Gilary is an engaging, kind, detail-oriented caregiver. She was always reliable and responsible when taking care of my toddler. She’s friendly, fun, and easy to communicate with. We loved having her be our regular and occasional sitter, and anyone would be lucky to have her with their kids!

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!

Booked by 1 family in Golf, IL

My name is Julia! I am 20 years old and I am a college student. I love taking care of and having fun with children. I am reliable and trustworthy. I have 6 years of experience babysitting a wide range of ages from infants to middle school aged children. I have also tutored elementary and middle school children, so I'm more than willing to help with any work they might have. I played varsity basketball all throughout my time in highschool, I love to play any sports with kids, and would love to teach basketball (if interested) for a fun time outside!:) Look forward to hearing from you!

Sara $22 per hour for 1 child

Hi!! I’m Sara and I’ve been a babysitter for more than 10 years. I love working with kids and have done so quite a bit in various settings, including as a teacher for after-school programs and as a camp counselor in summer gardening and swim camps. I’m also a very proud auntie to 3 nieces and 1 soon-to-be nephew and I’m pretty sure I’ve been crowned as the favorite aunt for my great attentiveness, care, and most importantly FUN (shhh don’t tell my siblings). Some of my hobbies include baking, cooking, gardening, hiking (or being outside in general), swimming, and painting. Lastly about me, I speak Spanish and some Arabic and have a pet Cockatiel named Paco :) If you’re looking for a creative, warm, and highly reliable caretaker or nanny, I’d love to get in touch with you!
