Hello! My name is Caroline and I'm a nonprofit professional for a healthcare association and graduate of DePaul University. I have over 14 years of childcare experience, working with children as young as 2 months, and as old as 12 years. I've worked as an after-school nanny, date night sitter, full-time nanny, overnight sitter, and as an Au Pair(nanny abroad). As an Au Pair, I lived with a family of three in Madrid. In addition to caring for their child, I provided English language instruction. I love to be engaging with crafts, reading, and playing outside. In addition to looking after your children, I'm happy to do light house work (laundry, dishes, vacuuming, etc.) and healthy meal prep. As an animal lover, pets are not a problem for me. I am also fluent in Polish and have an advanced proficiency of Spanish. A few of my interests include yoga, going to concerts, and exploring the city. If you're looking for a friendly, respectful, crafty and experienced babysitter, then I'd be a great match for your family. I am fully vaccinated. Please notify me of cancellations within 24 hours, thanks!

Hi! My name is Tatiana I am a lead teacher at a Reggio Emilia daycare and I’d love to sit for your family. I’ve worked with kids for over 4 years, and I’ve been babysitting for over 7 years. I also hold my CDA (Child Development Associate), covering ages newborn through older toddlers. I’m reliable, patient, and great at keeping kids engaged while following your routines.

Tatiana is very attentive, caring, and genuinely loves kids! Tatiana was very flexible to meet my needs and took excellent care of my infant. I felt completely comfortable leaving my son in her care after our initial meeting. I will absolutely hire Tatiana again very soon!

Hi, my name is Janneth! Originally from Mexico, I’m bilingual in English and Spanish, and I’ve been caring for children since I was 15 years old. Babysitting has always been more than just a job for me, it’s a beautiful way to connect with kids and be welcomed into their world through kindness, patience, and respect. I remember how challenging it was for my parents to find someone they could truly trust to care for me and my siblings. That’s why I take this role seriously and always show up with the same love and respect that my parents wished for us. I love spending time outdoors, doing puzzles, coloring, and listening to music. I’m also great with dogs, I’m happy to help with Spanish homework or practice! Your child’s safety, joy, and well-being are my top priorities, and I look forward to being someone you can count on.
