Hello there! My name is Valentina Delgado. I am an experienced nanny over 5 years working with kids from 8 months to 12 years old. In case you need any references, I can share with you upon your request. I have been working with the same family for last three years and the youngest girl is going to school now. I am available to work during weekdays from 7:00 am to 2:00 pm and anytime on weekends. Feel free to reach out in case you have any questions. Thank you!
I love helping families in the neighborhood, and I'm great with homework help, meal prep, keeping the place clean, staying patient, and keep the house safe and quiet so that children can sleep while you're away.
“Megan is an excellent babysitter. She is reliable, professional, and experienced, and she’s wonderful with my 1.5-year-old. She keeps him engaged with activities, is attentive to his needs, and makes sure he’s safe and happy. I have complete confidence in her and highly recommend her to other families.”
My name is Gracie. I was a part time babysitter/nanny for various families over 7 years before going full time corporate. I have worked with families in the city, and Oak Park/River Forest mostly as that is where I attended undergrad at Dominican University. My experience is with children aged newborn-13. I have ran errands, done pick-up/drop-off before, administered medicines, dealt with food allergies, tutored/e-learning and general activities. I have also house-sat and cared for pets while families were on vacation. Happy to provide references!
I have several years of consistent babysitting experience with 3+ families in Chicago. Along the way, I’ve worked with many different personalities and family dynamics, helping me adapt easily and feel comfortable in any situation. I am also a regular pet sitter, having stayed in the owners' home overnight regularly and making day visits to care for their Bernedoodles (ages ~6 months to 3+ years). For over three consecutive years, I cared for a family with three children under the age of 7 in downtown Chicago, multiple days a week. My responsibilities included getting them ready, cooking meals, taking them to the park and library, and supporting their daily routines. Through their parents’ recommendation, I went on to babysit for additional families, including a set of twins and a brother and sister close in age, both under 10. I’ve also worked as a student tutor for several years at Polaris Charter Academy in Chicago’s West Humboldt Park neighborhood and previously served as a volunteer soccer coach for kids with special needs. I bring strong skills in routine-building, meal prep, tutoring support, and creating a safe, engaging environment where kids can have fun while continuing to grow. I also previously trained as a lifeguard and have completed CPR training in the past, which I plan to refresh. I’m patient, attentive, and focused on helping kids feel known, supported, and confident while in my care. Being part of a child’s growth and seeing them discover the world around them is incredibly meaningful to me and has kept my passion for babysitting strong over the years. Some of the most rewarding moments are watching a child light up as they master a new skill or seeing their personality shine more clearly with each passing year. As a shy child growing up, I still remember the babysitters who made me feel understood and supported, and I strive to be that same steady, positive presence for the kids I care for.
Hey there! I am a single mom with one daughter who is 7-years-old. I am a former foster mom in the Chicago area and now that my girl is in school all day I am looking to fill my time. I have cared for children of all ages and we have both a cat and dog so I am good with animals too! I believe in strong boundaries, little screen time and being silly and having fun. Enjoy your time out and know your little ones are safe and giggling

"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!"
