Akie $22 per hour for 1 child

Hi - My name is Akie and I'm a music educator and youth development/arts nonprofit professional. I have been babysitting and tutoring since I was 12 years old! I am happy to help with tutoring, running around to sports practices/music lessons, and even give some flute or piano lessons! I am a licensed K-12 music educator. I currently teach early childhood music at Merit School of Music and in home private piano and flute lessons. I also used to be a chef at avec so I am happy to whip up a healthy meal for the kiddos or the whole family! I have been a caretaker for my own parents and grandparents and am comfortable with senior and palliative care.

Emily $20 per hour for 1 child

Hi there! My name is Emily and I am originally from the Quad Cities but have been living in Chicago for the past 2.5 years after graduating from the University of Kansas. I have experience babysitting and part-time nannying children of all ages. During prior jobs I loved coming up with creative activities, going on neighborhood walks, and playing games in the park. I am also comfortable taking care of animals. I grew up with a dog and I have a cat of my own. In my free time I enjoy sailing on Lake Michigan, reading anything from thrillers to memoirs, and painting what ever is inspiring to me in the moment.

Mary Kate $18 per hour for 1 child

Hello! My name is Mary Kate, and I would love to be your next babysitter. I have experience working with school-aged children as both a camp counselor and a tutor, so I prioritize creating an environment that balances learning and fun. I’m CPR and First Aid certified, and as a creative person, I love incorporating art, imagination, and hands-on activities into playtime. I recently graduated from the University of Michigan and am currently taking a gap year before attending graduate school. During this time, I’m working full-time as a Student Success Coach with AmeriCorps and am especially interested in supporting families on weekends. I’m easygoing, reliable, and flexible, and I would love the opportunity to get to know you and your family!
