Hi everyone! I’m Jenny! I’m a Chicago-based professional who genuinely loves spending time with kids and creating a fun, safe, and caring environment for them. My love for childcare started when I was 15, when I began volunteering at a local daycare. Since then, I’ve continued to babysit occasionally for families in my community, and I especially love coming up with fun activities like arts and crafts, trips to the park, reading, and creative play. I’m also a very proud aunt to my niece and nephews, who have given me plenty of experience keeping up with little ones! I’m bilingual in English and Spanish and have a deep appreciation for different cultures and backgrounds. I recently graduated from the University of Illinois Urbana-Champaign and now work professionally in the legal field, so I’m responsible, organized, and dependable. I’m available on weekends and most weekday evenings after 6:00 PM. I’d love to connect with families in the area and learn more about how I can help! I’m also happy to provide references upon request.

“Excellent sitter! Thoughtful, patient and very good with our 4 year old. We’ve hired her multiple times now ”

Hi, My name is Aryana. I am a current law student in my first year at The University of Illinois -Chicago school of law right downtown. I currently live in Hermosa which is a little neighborhood near logan square. I am the second oldest of 5 and have a small passion for teaching children (I was a substitute teacher in my last year of undergrad). I would love to spend a few hours a week babysitting to spend more time with kids but also to gain a little more income while in law school so I am not solely relying on student loans. Looking for something more occasional/ flexible so that I still have time to do homework. I am a very active person, I love playing games (video games, board games, interactive activities like blocks, barbies, and cars) with children, I enjoy reading bedtime stories and I can be firm so making sure your child is in bed on time will be no problem at all. I respect the parent's wishes at all times and make sure to never cross any boundaries. I believe it is important for the child to feel safe with me and most importantly for the parents to trust me, so like my mom says whatever she says goes, so I hold the parents to that same standard. It would be an honor to meet your family and possibly look after your child for the time being. I look forward to hopefully hearing from you. Best, Aryana

Booked by 7 families in Elmwood Park, IL

For the past 20 years I have been entrusted to nurture newborns, to help preschoolers learn their numbers and letters, to organize fun activities, educational outgoings and to help families balance the many demands in their lives. As a mother of four children myself, I have always been privileged to help young people grow and learn. I continue to find this kind of work to be my labor of love.

“Kareena showed up early and jumped right in. She’s incredibly experienced and gave us tons of tips on things that have worked for her in the past. I can’t wait to have her come back! Our son loved her immediately.”
