Hi, my name is Janneth! Originally from Mexico, I’m bilingual in English and Spanish, and I’ve been caring for children since I was 15 years old. Babysitting has always been more than just a job for me, it’s a beautiful way to connect with kids and be welcomed into their world through kindness, patience, and respect. I remember how challenging it was for my parents to find someone they could truly trust to care for me and my siblings. That’s why I take this role seriously and always show up with the same love and respect that my parents wished for us. I love spending time outdoors, doing puzzles, coloring, and listening to music. I’m also great with dogs, I’m happy to help with Spanish homework or practice! Your child’s safety, joy, and well-being are my top priorities, and I look forward to being someone you can count on.

Hi there! My name is Caitlyn and I am 30 years old with over 13 years of true nannying and babysitting experience. I first started babysitting neighborhood kids at age 15, quickly becoming the go to babysitter on my block for date nights. I was a full time nanny for 2 kiddos (7 & 10) in Evanston the summer of 2014, and a full time overnight camp counselor the summer before that for a cabin full of 8 year olds. Right after graduating from Loyola in 2017, I became a teachers assistant at a private preschool/daycare in Lakeview, helping out with all classrooms from newborns-5 years. Experienced with children of all ages, I love supporting continuous development and growth and take a lot of pride in my ability to connect with and teach children; I am punctual, experienced, and would like to think lots of fun :) After working in tech sales for 5 years, my heart called me back to early childhood, and after being a short term nanny for a 3mo old girl before she began daycare full time last summer, I began teaching in Children’s House (3-5 years) at Guidepost Montessori. My fiancé and I just moved to Fox River Grove to be closer to family, so I’m available in the surrounding areas most weekday evenings after 5:30-6pm, and occasional weekends! Can’t wait to hear from you :)

Booked by 4 families in Schaumburg, IL

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.
