Hello, My name is Brianna and I am looking for occasional caregiving opportunities. I currently work full time as a coordinator for a student resource program at a high school and am currently studying in school to become a social worker. I have 8+ years of experience working as an in home caregiver! I am a super energetic and outgoing person that works well with kids of all ages and am also willing to take care of any pets that you may have. I am readily available for interviewing and can provide a list of references. I also have my own vehicle with a clean record that can be provided as well.
“Excellent babysitter. I like her communication and trustworthiness. I highly recommend her. ”
Hello! My name is Gilary (pronounced Hilary). I have been taking care of children for as long as I can remember! Whether it’s been for family, friends, or as a paid caretaker. Babysitting/nannying was how I put myself through college, caring for children from infancy to preteens. In 2[removed], I worked as a 4th and 5th grade teacher assistant at a small elementary school. I myself have 6 nephews and nieces, all of whom I have cared for since they were babies. They’re all a bit older now, so I definitely miss having littles in my life! I work as a freelance grant writer, and I am also an actor in Chicago’s vibrant storefront theater scene. This makes me quite flexible and available for daytime care. I also do a bit of dogwalking on the side, so I’m more than happy to care for your pups and pets as well. All in all, I am comfortable with all ages ranging from infancy to teens. I have a car and an Illinois driver's license. I can cook kid-friendly meals, and for school-aged children, am happy to help with homework. I love to do arts and crafts, like knitting, crocheting, scrapbooking, baking, and singing. For any other inquiries, don't hesitate to reach out!
“Gilary is an engaging, kind, detail-oriented caregiver. She was always reliable and responsible when taking care of my toddler. She’s friendly, fun, and easy to communicate with. We loved having her be our regular and occasional sitter, and anyone would be lucky to have her with their kids!”
Hi. I have just completed my first year of medical school and am working part time on a summer project in the city. I worked as a nanny and summer camp counselor throughout college, and thus have spent extensive time caring for children. I taught swim lessons, horse-back riding, and other camp-related activities. I have flexible hours this summer and am hoping to help out families as I can! I also have a car and can assist with transport.
I am a responsible and caring nanny. Spanish is my native language, and I understand English very well. I am currently improving my English speaking skills to become more fluent. I am reliable, attentive, and committed to my work. I respect parents’ instructions and routines, but I also like being proactive and bringing new ideas and activities that children can enjoy, including creative and hands-on play, not only technology-based activities. I enjoy seeing them learning, grow and the capacity to discover new things. I like to support their creativity providing a safe, caring and positive environment, where they can feel happy, confident and comfortable. A little about my personality: I can be quiet and reserved at first, but I am very sweet, caring, and enjoy building connections with children. I take my responsibilities seriously and always try to create a warm and positive environment for the families I work with. I also love animals, so I feel very comfortable in homes with pets.
Hi! My name is Celestine. I am looking for babysitting jobs while I am home from college until mid January. I grew up with my mom running an in-home daycare and I have cared for the many toddlers and children in my family, so I have lots of experience and love for children! I also have experience caring for pets. I am enthusiastic, dependable, caring, and responsible. In addition to caring for children, I am happy to complete household responsibilities, pet care, rides to/from activities, and help with errands. I look forward to meeting you and your little ones!

"Caitlin was awesome and jumped right in to chaperone four girls (10, 9, 8 and 6) at a family wedding (they were bridesmaids) and she was very helpful with the event as well as taking them home and putting them to bed."
Lila P., parent

"McKenna was great with our 3 year old son! She came prepared with a box of fun activities and handled playing, dinner, and bedtime seamlessly... and it was all at our hotel while we were in town for a wedding. Thank you McKenna!"
