Hello! My name is Natalia, and working with children has always been my true passion. I hold a Master’s degree in Education and have over 17 years of experience helping children learn and grow. For the past four years, I’ve been a Preschool Teacher at a private school in Chicago, where I work with young learners ages 2–4. I’m 43 years old and a proud mom of three (ages 22, 20, and 9). My colleagues and families describe me as warm, dedicated, and reliable. In my free time, I also work as a babysitter, which I truly enjoy — spending time with little ones always brings me joy and positive energy. 💛

Hi, my name is Suzanne! I’m energetic, creative, and patient, with a big heart for kids and the joy they bring. I love making children feel safe, included, and excited to learn and play. For the past three summers I’ve worked as a counselor at a stay-away summer camp where I lived with and cared for kids ages 8–15 for six weeks at a time. Beyond camp and taking care of older kids, I have a lot of experience caring for and babysitting toddlers 13 months and up and love how curious and playful that age is. I bring both structure and fun to every setting whether that means planning crafts, organizing games, or helping with homework. If your kids love video games I can hop into Roblox or Minecraft with them 😆 but I also enjoy screen-free activities like board games, card games, and creative projects. Along with child care I’m terrific at keeping a clean organized home, and I love pets just as much as kids. Growing up with ADHD shaped how I connect with children. I know how important it is to feel accepted and understood, and I make it my mission to ensure every child feels confident and happy being themselves. I also attended a boarding high school for art and creative writing, where I lived year-round. Since I was away from home and living in a dorm, I never needed a license, and now that I live in Chicago I rely on public transportation instead of driving. Sadly I won’t be able to provide transportation for your children.

Hi! I'm a positive and energetic mother, who is very reliable, patient, and creative person who has approximately 15 years of experienced caring for children. With me, your children will receive great care, and I'm willing to do additional other tasks if requested.

Hi, I’m interested in helping you out with occasional babysitting, pet sitting, and running errands. I make an effort to be interactive with children; reading, playing board games, building legos, puzzles, playing dress-up, baking, spending time outside, playing the piano, singing, etc. I have worked with children in a school setting as an aide and I love working on homework. I try to make it fun! I love dogs and have enjoyed raising a few of my own. I have also raised a few of my own kids. I have experience with babies, toddlers, pre-schoolers, 5 year olds through teenage-years. I enjoy spending time with seniors and keeping them engaged or tending to their needs. I’m comfortable driving if you need your people or pet transported. I am a college educated native English speaker, I am also fluent in Ukrainian. I have studied Spanish and French in high school and French in college. I am looking forward to meeting new families in 2025! I know that it was vital for me to find reliable babysitters, and pet sitters when I needed them in my life. I want to take this opportunity to give back now.

I am a very experienced when it comes to all ages of childcare. I’ve spent more than 10+ years working with children all the way up to 13 years of age. With infants, I’m very vigilant and interactive, I keep them entertained and always smiling and I make sure that the schedule a parent has in place is always followed. I’m very patient with kids and will always make sure they are taken care of to the best of ability. With older children, I take care of them with their afterschool activities and if a parent wish to do other outings I am always available to spend a fun afternoon out.
