Booked by 1 family in Morton Grove, IL

I am a sophomore in college at Case Western Reserve University in Cleveland, Ohio. I have years of experience working with all ages. My younger sister is 13 years my junior and I have cared for her since she was born. I was a youth leader with the Neighborhood Boys and Girls Clubs in Chicago and a camp counselor and daycare worker with JCYS. I have been a full time summer nanny for a family with two children under the ages of 6 for the past two years. I have babysit for around 20 families throughout my babysitting career! I am looking for babysitting jobs in Cleveland during the school year and Chicago during Holidays and summers.

Ava is a wonderful babysitter. She kept my daughter active, having fun and learning while doing things! My daughter LOVES Ava and gets so excited when she is babysitting. I recommend Ava without hesitation. You and your kiddos will love her.

Welcome! Hi there, thank you so much for taking the time to read my profile. I know how important it is to find someone you can truly trust with your child, and I take that responsibility very seriously. Safety and reliability are always my top priorities, but I also believe babysitting should be fun. I am a lighthearted, patient, and playful person who genuinely enjoys spending time with kids. I love making them laugh, keeping them engaged, and helping them feel relaxed and happy while you’re away. Whether we are playing games, being creative, or just being silly in a way that still respects your rules, my goal is for your child to have a positive and enjoyable experience. I am attentive and responsible, and I make sure your child is safe, cared for, and comfortable at all times. I am happy to follow your routines closely, whether that includes homework, meals, or bedtime, and I communicate clearly so you always know how things are going. If you are looking for someone who will keep your child safe while also making their time fun and enjoyable, I would love to connect. Thank you for considering me and I look forward to meeting you and your family. Warmly, Celina

Savannah $20 per hour for 1 child

Compassionate and dependable caregiver, specializing in creative and recreational caregiving, with experience supporting children, adults with disabilities, and elders. A graduate of the School of the Art Institute of Chicago, I bring a creative approach to caregiving, incorporating activities that engage, stimulate, and inspire those I support. I bring experience working in a preschool with children aged 2-4 years old. I also have experience in bilingual classrooms with children aged 3–10, supporting learning, engagement, and individualized attention to meet students’ diverse needs. These experiences have strengthened my patience, adaptability, and communication skills, allowing me to connect with individuals of all ages and abilities. Additionally, in my part-time role at Renewal Memory, I provide companionship and meaningful engagement for adults with Alzheimer’s, assisting with daily routines and creating a supportive, positive environment. I am also a volunteer at Arts of Life, where I help support professional artists with disabilities by offering guidance, assistance, and encouragement in their daily work. I also have hands-on experience in household management and organization, maintaining structured environments, managing schedules, and supporting daily tasks to keep routines running smoothly. My combination of caregiving expertise, creative approach, and organizational skills allows me to provide meaningful, engaging, and well-rounded care for those I support.
