My name is Reilly, I have been babysitting since I was 13 years old, and I love kids! Some things I do in my free time include reading, playing sports, and knitting.
“Reilly is a fantastic babysitter: reliable, super caring and loving to my kids, and there for us when we need her! My wife and I can’t recommend her enough.”
Hi my name is Lexi! I am currently a paraprofessional for preschoolers with autism! I am looking into becoming a teacher, I love children and animals! I love doing art, working on motor skills, speech, love being outside, love cooking and baking and am pretty active and just looking for occasional babysitting since i am working full time!
Hi families! I’m a 19 y/o college student studying early childhood education! I am bilingual ( English + Spanish) I am located near Wheeling and am available everyday mornings and evenings, except for Sundays! I am available for full time, part time, or one time babysitting jobs! I have previous babysitting experience with ages 2-10. I got a certificate for completion of 450 hours on the job training for Early Childhood Educator apprenticeship program for district 214. I was a student intern at Anne Sullivan Elementary School for 2 semesters my senior year. I also worked part time at a day care at Wheeling High-school. (I currently volunteer at that same day care whenever I’m available) I developed skills such as - problem solving, time management, and interpersonal skills like communication and leadership. I hope to be of great help to your family!!
Hi there! My name is Nicole, but you can call me Cole. I recently moved back to the area after six years in Dallas, TX. On top of previous nanny experience, I am a first time mom to a 13 month old baby boy. I am CPR certified and well versed in infant first aid. My nannying experience includes, but is not limited to, children ranging from ages 2 through 15, caring for multiple animals (including reptiles), light to moderate housework and organizing, assisting in personal event planning, perfecting homemade cupcakes, and more. I am very passionate about the outdoors, creating learning experiences, and helping cultivate the village it takes to help families thrive. Professionally, after my last nannying position, I worked in the live music production space as an operations coordinator and received my 200HR Pilates instructor certification with an emphasis on classical reformer Pilates. After becoming a mother myself, I made the decision to revisit family and home management as it was plain to see where my compassion resided the most. Ideally, I will work with families who are open to my son (up to date on age appropriate vax) accompanying me on days my husband travels for work. I have an insured, clean, and safe SUV, a clean driving record, and an infant car seat available to use if needed or desired. I am open to family and home care for all ages. Due to allergies, I am limited to households with maximum one cat. Looking forward to meeting you and your family!

"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!"
