Find a last-minute babysitter in Oak Park, IL

Hi! My name is Annika, I work as an Apparel Merchandise Manager at Cintas. I graduated from the University of Cincinnati in May 2025 with a Bachelors degree in Business. I was very involved on campus with Greek life & philanthropy organizations. I am offering child care, pet care, & household services. I love being a babysitter & spending time with kids! I’ve worked as a summer camp counselor & babysitter for multiple years for families of all ages. I have primarily worked with kids from 4-12 years old. My responsibilities have included driving kids to school or extra curricular activities, cooking, cleaning, & playing indoor or outdoor games. I love arts & crafts, playing board games, or going on walks! I have my own cat & have experience taking care & walking dogs while watching up to 3 children at once.

A little about me: I am in my early twenties, just graduated from the University of Iowa and I work in advertising downtown. As for my experience with watching over kids, I have worked many years as a camp counselor at a high-end sailing camp in the British Virgin Islands, and have also been a student volunteer at a primary school in New Zealand. I have my CPR as well. I am the eldest of three, so caretaking has been a big part of my life! I've also been walking dogs, housekeeping, and petsitting since before I could drive a car ;) Please reach out to me if you need a weekly housekeeper, housesitter, babysitter, petsitter, or dog walker. I would be delighted to chat!

Hi-my name is Arianna and I’m a Chicago native! I’ve been working in childcare since I was an early teenager, from volunteer work to nannying in recent years. I have experience from neonatal care all the way to school age children, but have a soft spot for infants. As a medical assistant, I’m trained and certified in BLS and CPR and have a vast knowledge on medical conditions and treatments. I can administer medications and provide wound care when medically indicated. I’m also available for household errands and have my own car and have never been in an accident. I’m more than flexible to help meet your needs!

Hi! I am Sydne! I just moved to Chicago with my sister after graduating from the University of Arizona this past year! I am beginning work at Lurie Children’s Hospital as a Registered Nurse this fall! I have been a sitter/ nanny for the last 7 years and keep doing it because I love spending time with kids and helping them grow into kind & inquisitive individuals. I am excited to meet new families and kids in the Chicago area!

With over a decade of professional experience in child care; lifeguard, swim instructor, children's birthday entertainer, substitute teacher, and daycare worker/pre-k teacher, I have just about every child imaginable. I've also been babysitting since I was 12, for my parents, cousins, friends, and the occasional co-worker who needed a night off. I've seen all ages, 6m-17y. I like to think I connect with children so well because I truly am just a big kid at heart. But I also know when play time is over and to be firm, but fair. I have training in basic first aid, CPR, basic diabetic care, certified in anaphylactic safety, certified in allergy safety, certified in food handling and safety.
