Kayla Libertyville
$25 per hour for 1 child

Hello! My name is Kayla, and I'm currently a union electrical apprentice that works full time and goes to school. I grew up and currently live in Libertyville with my fiancé and 3 cats. In my free time I love to ski and ride my motorcycle. I'm currently a part time nanny and am looking for other part time nanny work and or occasional babysitting gigs. **Fun babysitting is my specialty** I'm not a "turn the TV on and play on my phone" sitter. If your kids are playing a game or running around, I'm doing it with them, not just watching. I love spending time with kids and I can't wait to meet yours! :)

Wheeling
$15 per hour for 1 child
Booked by 2 families in Libertyville, IL

I am a sweet and reliable baby sitter with Pediatric First Aid, CPR, and AED certification. Currently studying at Wright College. Also, I am bilingual (Spanish and English ) I have experience with children as a volunteer at a church daycare in Mexico as teen. I also have 2 younger siblings now 11 and 15 who I helped take care of as babies. Additionally, I have worked for 3 families in Chicago. I am willing to do small chores around the house as well.

Monica was kind, responsible, prompt and capable. She was great with our baby and our dog, and was comfortable with the direction I gave her. She helped my 16.5 month old, get more comfortable with using a spoon, and he seemed more talkative following her stay. She was great at active play with my son, and even took him to the park. Will definitely be using her again.

Fox River Grove
$30 per hour for 1 child
Booked by 35 families in Libertyville, IL

Hi there! My name is Caitlyn and I am 30 years old with over 13 years of true nannying and babysitting experience. I first started babysitting neighborhood kids at age 15, quickly becoming the go to babysitter on my block for date nights. I was a full time nanny for 2 kiddos (7 & 10) in Evanston the summer of 2014, and a full time overnight camp counselor the summer before that for a cabin full of 8 year olds. Right after graduating from Loyola in 2017, I became a teachers assistant at a private preschool/daycare in Lakeview, helping out with all classrooms from newborns-5 years. Experienced with children of all ages, I love supporting continuous development and growth and take a lot of pride in my ability to connect with and teach children; I am punctual, experienced, and would like to think lots of fun :) After working in tech sales for 5 years, my heart called me back to early childhood, and after being a short term nanny for a 3mo old girl before she began daycare full time last summer, I began teaching in Children’s House (3-5 years) at Guidepost Montessori. My fiancé and I just moved to Fox River Grove to be closer to family, so I’m available in the surrounding areas most weekday evenings after 5:30-6pm, and occasional weekends! Can’t wait to hear from you :)
