Hi there, my name is Sam! I’ve been working with kids since I could remember and I’ve always loved it. I used to work at Disney World so if your kids love Disney we’ll definitely get along. With my experience in childcare and other relational jobs I’ve had I’ve learned to become very patient, kind, attentive, flexible, trustworthy, and creative. I can help with cooking, laundry, and other light household duties. In my free time I enjoy reading (especially about leadership, self-development, and communication), staying physically active, and finding new recipes to try. Thank you again for your consideration and I hope to hear from you soon!
I am a 31 year old working and living in chicago. I enjoy being around children; their creativity and curiosity inspire me! Being the oldest of four siblings I understand the concern parents have for quality child care. I can offer transportation to or from school and activities. I am also happy to help with homework and prepare a meal. I am also cpr certified. I look forward to meeting you and your children!
Hi, My name is Aryana. I am a current law student in my first year at The University of Illinois -Chicago school of law right downtown. I currently live in Hermosa which is a little neighborhood near logan square. I am the second oldest of 5 and have a small passion for teaching children (I was a substitute teacher in my last year of undergrad). I would love to spend a few hours a week babysitting to spend more time with kids but also to gain a little more income while in law school so I am not solely relying on student loans. Looking for something more occasional/ flexible so that I still have time to do homework. I am a very active person, I love playing games (video games, board games, interactive activities like blocks, barbies, and cars) with children, I enjoy reading bedtime stories and I can be firm so making sure your child is in bed on time will be no problem at all. I respect the parent's wishes at all times and make sure to never cross any boundaries. I believe it is important for the child to feel safe with me and most importantly for the parents to trust me, so like my mom says whatever she says goes, so I hold the parents to that same standard. It would be an honor to meet your family and possibly look after your child for the time being. I look forward to hopefully hearing from you. Best, Aryana
Hi! I am a college student majoring in Accounting at the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign. I have been a swim instructor for kids under the age of 12 for a year and I have tutored children how to play piano for 2-3 years. I am very social, patient and fun and have loved my teaching jobs and would like to move onto babysitting kids and taking care of pets as well! I love arts and crafts, games, fun activities, teaching, animals and walks! I am also a fluent Spanish speaker and an intermediate German speaker. My mom has been a full time nanny for 15 years and I have learned a lot on how to be an excellent babysitter!

Hello! I have experience caring for newborns up to pre-teens, and have babysat for many families of multiple children over the past 12 years. The more the merrier! I truly enjoy spending time with kids and making sure they are happy and comfortable while their parents are out. I'm very organized and responsible, and always clean up after any messes - including the kitchen after mealtimes. I enjoy the challenge of keeping kids happy and laughing, while also sticking to their routines. I have experience changing diapers, feeding children and infants, cooking, cleaning, and driving children to activities. I also worked as a lifeguard for 6 years, so I'm very comfortable and familiar with CPR, first aid, and water safety. I love being active, the outdoors, playing games, and encourage all forms of artistic creativity. I also love to read - especially to kids! In addition to child care, I'm a personal trainer and health coach. I have a bachelors degree in Human Physiology and took a college class on Child Psychology and Development.
