Find a last-minute babysitter in Lincolnwood, IL

Hi! My name is Catie, and I'm a dedicated caregiver with a passion for supporting children's development. I'm 23 years old with a Bachelor's degree in Psychology from Carleton College and am preparing to pursue a doctorate in Clinical Psychology in August. Currently, I work at a therapeutic preschool for children with developmental disabilities, where I've gained hands-on experience and skills in providing personalized support. With about four years of childcare experience, including one year with children on the Autism spectrum, I bring a compassionate, informed approach to caregiving. I'm CPR and First-Aid Certified and trained as an EMT, ensuring a safe environment for your child. Although I work weekdays from 8:30 a.m. to 5:00 pm, I'm available for babysitting on weekends or weekday evenings. I look forward to connecting with your family and helping create a nurturing, engaging experience for your child!

I am a 22-year-old Boston University graduate who majored in psychology. I am offering child care, pet care, and household services. I have been working with children since my first job at the age of 13. In high school, I was a camp counselor for 3 and 4-year-olds. During that time, I babysat for many families I met while working at summer camp. Once I went to college, I worked in a child development lab where I worked with school-age children. I am CPR-certified. I have been surrounded by pets my whole life and feel very comfortable taking care of any pets whether they be cats, dogs, hamsters, etc.

Hi! My name is Rebecca and I am 32 years old. I moved to Chicago in March, from Colorado. I am offering child care and pet care services. I've been baby sitting my whole life. Additionally, I was a full time nanny for a summer and a camp counselor for another summer as well. I love kids of all ages. Spending time with my partners' young nieces is a big joy in my life. I am patient, kind, punctual and dependable. Happy to work with families with animals as well. I'm a pet lover. Would love to connect with you :)

I have several years of consistent babysitting experience with 3+ families in Chicago. Along the way, I’ve worked with many different personalities and family dynamics, helping me adapt easily and feel comfortable in any situation. I am also a regular pet sitter, having stayed in the owners' home overnight regularly and making day visits to care for their Bernedoodles (ages ~6 months to 3+ years). For over three consecutive years, I cared for a family with three children under the age of 7 in downtown Chicago, multiple days a week. My responsibilities included getting them ready, cooking meals, taking them to the park and library, and supporting their daily routines. Through their parents’ recommendation, I went on to babysit for additional families, including a set of twins and a brother and sister close in age, both under 10. I’ve also worked as a student tutor for several years at Polaris Charter Academy in Chicago’s West Humboldt Park neighborhood and previously served as a volunteer soccer coach for kids with special needs. I bring strong skills in routine-building, meal prep, tutoring support, and creating a safe, engaging environment where kids can have fun while continuing to grow. I also previously trained as a lifeguard and have completed CPR training in the past, which I plan to refresh. I’m patient, attentive, and focused on helping kids feel known, supported, and confident while in my care. Being part of a child’s growth and seeing them discover the world around them is incredibly meaningful to me and has kept my passion for babysitting strong over the years. Some of the most rewarding moments are watching a child light up as they master a new skill or seeing their personality shine more clearly with each passing year. As a shy child growing up, I still remember the babysitters who made me feel understood and supported, and I strive to be that same steady, positive presence for the kids I care for.

Hi - My name is Irene and I'm currently a professional that is working in between jobs. I am offering child care, senior care, pet care and household services. I love being a babysitter and have been watching newborns, infants, toddlers, and kids since I was 12 years old.

I have been a caretaker for my own grandparents and mother and am comfortable with senior care. I can cook, clean up and keep them company. I love all animals and would be a happy caretaker to them!!
