Booked by 4 families in Elgin, 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.
