Hana $20 per hour for 1 child

Hi! My name is Hana and I recently moved to the Lincoln Park area for my job as a data analyst downtown, post my graduation from UW-Madison in May 2024. I am looking for some occasional or part time babysitting gigs, as I absolutely love working with and spending time with children and would like to spend more of my free time doing so. I have experience babysitting infants all the way up to 15 year olds, and have been babysitting since my freshman year of high school (about 9 years). I also have my CPR certification and my own car here! Please reach out with any other questions!

Sabrina $13 per hour for 1 child

Hello! My name is Sabrina and I am a 27 year old woman with a very easy going and kind disposition. I am offering child care, pet care, and household services. I enjoy taking care of children and pets! I grew up with 5x younger siblings and a dog, and am very familiar with taking care of all age children. I have been babysitting since I was 13 and many of the families I babysat for found me very accomplished at caring for their kids, pets, and home! I am very active and love to make activities to do for the kids based on their hobbies. I am very kind, a great listener, and enjoy outdoor and indoor activities. I am happy to follow any guidelines the parents set out. For example, if you do not want your kids to watch TV or have a strict routine for bedtime, I am more than amenable to making it as easy for you as possible. I am not apposed to light house cleaning and always ensure I clean up any messes we make. Patience is key in my world so I always act with that, kindness, and a smile. Many families have trusted me with their kids in the past and we were well received. I can take care of one child or multiple and am comfortable with all age groups. I grew up with lots of kids in my house and noise and commotion do not startle me. I was also an athlete for a large portion of my life and am great with all sports! I have no allergies and comfortable with any pets!

Julieta $19 per hour for 1 child

Hi! My name is Julieta. I am a 23 year old college student, studying Nutrition and applying to Medical School this upcoming May. I have experience with babysitting since I was in middle school and leading after school clubs with younger kids who are learning how to read or teaching them Spanish and culture. I also have worked at a Children's museum for almost two years. As well as, making kids comfortable while working in the ER as a tech. I love to have fun with kids by interacting with any activity they love to do whether its joining in on their imagination, games, crafts, or going outside to play! I am a huge believer in exercise, being outdoors, and staying healthy so I am open to going to parks or simply playing outside. In addition, I am super informed about allergies and food sensitivities so I would love to know what I can do to ensure safety. Been to many medical emergency/CPR trainings as well. I am a great communicator whether it is through the phone or texting so I can keep you updated! My focus is to make you as parents and the kids as comfortable as possible. As of pets I grew up always around animals whether it was having a 160 pound Newfoundland dog to a mini Australian Shepard and a elderly cat or even having a bearded dragon once! I love to take dogs on a walks or simply playing with them. I have a cat of my own and our favorite thing to do together is take naps :)

Kara $20 per hour for 1 child

Hi! My name is Kara and I'm currently a sophomore at UIC studying theatre. I am offering childcare, cat sitting, and household services. I've always loved babysitting and have been watching infants, toddlers, and kids since I was fourteen (I have a really big family with lots of younger cousins who I've helped out with all my life), as well as worked at a daycare where I took care of children ages infant to five years old. Due to my theatre background I regularly include make believe play in my interactions with children, using different voices and mannerisms while asking the children questions and helping to build their imaginative skills. On top of that I've also been certified by the Red Cross in infant and regular CPR. I can also work as a household assistant and can clean and run errands. As I have my own cat I am more than comfortable with cat sitting and have done so for multiple family friends.
