"Amina came and helped us out when our babysitter canceled last minute. She was great with our kids. Even our 11 month old son who has stranger anxiety warmed up to her."

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.”

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! :)

Hi there, my name is Josie! I’m 20 years old and currently live in the northwest suburbs of IL. I have a background in business entrepreneurship, but one of my many passion lies in caregiving and working with children. My most recent role was as a Youth Development Professional for a nonprofit organization, where I had the pleasure of working with children ranging from infants to middle schoolers. I’ve been involved in childcare informally since I was 14 and began working professionally at 18. I am CPR and First Aid certified, ensuring the safety and well-being of the children in my care. I truly enjoy engaging with kids during both playtime and feedings. Quiet moments like nap time are very special to me. Colleagues often describe me as kind, hardworking, intelligent, and easygoing. In addition to childcare, I offer services such as cleaning, cooking, and organizing. For families with pets, I’m also happy to help with walking and feeding. Outside of work, I enjoy hobbies like cooking, exercising, painting, and dancing. I love building strong connections with both children and their families and would be honored to support your household :)
