I am a single mom of two (ages 10 and 8). I work as occupational therapist and have knowledge of child development as a mother but also in my profession. I am looking for some additional work when the kids are with their father. I live in the north side of Chicago and able to drive , preferably close to home.

Rhea is our favorite babysitter! She is so good with kids and has alot of experience since she has kids of her own. We’re so thankful that we found Rhea. My kid likes her a lot and has been asking when Rhea will come over again.

Liana $20 per hour for 1 child

Hi! I am a current MBA student at Northwestern Kellogg looking to make some extra money while in school. I'm originally from California and, prior to Kellogg, was working as a clinical researcher at Stanford for over 8 years running clinical trials for Type 1 diabetes technology. My working role involves working with children of all ages (as young as 3 and up) in a healthcare setting, requiring 24/7 oversight for safety. Much of the research I do involve multi-day studies to oversee how new medical devices perform; I’m essentially serving as a babysitter and creating/overseeing activities to do (it’s hard to explain, but I’m more than happy to do so if you’d like more details about what this means!). I have my BS in human development from UC Davis. Aside from my current role, I have multiple years of experience working with children during college in classroom settings, through various baby sitting gigs, and even teaching piano. I love puzzles, baking, playing with my pup (and generally all dogs), and being outside and active as much as possible! I most recently spent a quarter abroad in Australia and was fortunate enough to complete a few multi day backpacking trips around Australia and New Zealand I love being creative and am happy to do arts and crafts and supervised baking projects with your child! I have been CPR/First Aid trained and certified multiple times in the past (including toddler/infant) for my job, though that has since expired. That said, I am confident in my abilities to address emergency situations from my past trainings.

I enjoy working with kids, not only taking good care of them but also expending quality time with time. I like to include activities and games that not only entertain the little ones but also help with their cognitive and motor stimulation. I have experience with toddlers and also can take care of younger babies. I can provide help with house duties.

Hi! My name is Sydney. I am 22 years old and currently have a 2 year college degree and and now currently on my 3rd year of college! I am offering nannying / child care as well as house hold services. I love working with children. I have worked with children for many years being a lead pre school teacher for all age groups and as well at an elementary school and a para professional / teachers aide. I have remained passionate when it comes to working with children. My mother is a teacher, my step dad being a principal at an elementary school, and both my grandparents being teachers:). I have learned so much through them and alongside have a long experience of working with children. Starting young I babysat for family and friends as well as my younger siblings. I also nanny as well for families. I have been a lead pre school teacher for infants, toddlers, and elementary aged students. Lastly, I am currently a paraprofessional in an elementary school. I work with children who have special needs, or who may need more one on one support in the classroom. I treat my kids with so much love and care. My goals are making them feel seen, cared for, and truly loved and cared for. I enjoy taking care and helping children grow in a loving, energetic environment. Along the way with having fun! I can also work as a household assistant too. I can cook, clean and run errands! I am CPR certified and trained as well A little about me I love my family and friends. I enjoy traveling when I am able to, and remain active. I also am a bit artsy I enjoy painting, coloring and making crafts. I am also trying to learn how to sew currently. I am bubbly, energetic, and overall open minded to new experiences and adapt well to new environments!
