Hi! I have worked with children of all ages for over 10 years. My mother established her career in early childhood in the 90's and has successfully stayed in business for over 20 years. I have worked in the early childhood field since 2016. I have also worked in the legal field supporting lawyers who specialize in the safety and upbringing of children (GAL). I have cared for all age groups. I am also a university graduate. I teach and lead with love, and because of it, I still have beautiful relationships with all of the children who have been in my care, many now teenagers andyoung adults! My experience as a child care provider has included caring for children at hotels while their parents went out for a night on the town (and bringing something fun to help the transition be easier for parents and their children). I love kids because they are JUST awesome! Also, I am always up for negotiating when it comes to cost of childcare.
Currently, I'm a child therapist with a degree from the Erikson Institute. I have worked with children in a variety of settings, including daycare settings, mentorship roles, as a group facilitator, nannying, and as a coach for youth sports. I love working with kids, and I always hope to be an adult figure who is fun, attuned, thoughtful, respectful, and responsible.
Hi families! My name is Isaly, and I am an elementary educator with (over 20 years) experience teaching and supporting children in both classroom and childcare settings. I have worked with children across a variety of ages and backgrounds, including experience in social-emotional learning, literacy support, enrichment activities, and structured care. I’m known for being calm, dependable, nurturing, and highly attentive to children’s emotional and physical safety. As a teacher, I understand the importance of patience, communication, routines, and creating environments where children feel secure, engaged, and supported. I’m comfortable helping with: -Infant and child supervision -Bedtime and evening routines -Reading and homework support -Educational/play-based activities -Meal/snack preparation -Outdoor activities and active play -Light tidying related to child care Families often appreciate that I bring both professional educational experience and genuine warmth into the spaces I work in. Whether you need occasional babysitting, event support, summer help, or consistent care, I strive to be someone both parents and children feel comfortable with and can trust. I look forward to connecting with your family!
I am a young professional available for weekend babysitting in the Chicago area. I love kids and have had several nanny jobs while in college. I love to draw and do creative activities with kids!
