Hi there! I am Talitha. I’m 22 years old, I live in the Evanston area, and can pretty easily get around via public transportation. I’ve cherished art/music all of my life. Going from constant doodles to full on pencil and paint pieces..And from just singing everyday, to singing with a band! Back in spring of 2023, I worked at the Legoland Discovery Center (Schaumburg Location) until that winter . Where I would not only assist each child/guest onto a plethora of rides and attractions, but I would learn day in and out how to give each age group , and each member of a family or community an equal opportunity at care and respect , all wrapped around a fun experience! Shortly after that, I worked as a part-time caregiver for Addus Home-care until February 2025. I was placed with an outstanding amount of different personas within the elderly community , and continue to seek their absolute best interests in heart and mind. From tidying to meal preparation..General hygiene, to showering and medications.. I’m here to assist! As of now, since march of 2025, I’ve been a Paraprofessional. Beginning this role at a therapeutic day school for students with special needs, called ‘Julia Molloy Spec. Ed. Center’. There I learned the true ins and outs of caring for students who are diagnosed with Autism, and or Behavior disorders on a daily basis. Learning these schedules, and delicacies with love and care in mind, landed me as a paraprofessional at my current job, Niles North High school! I carry on the same work, just integrated into General Ed. Which I am also learning the workings and care taking of! I hope to be a swell fit for helping hands! Blessings and thank you for any consideration.
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! I’m Kendall and I recently moved to Chicago and am getting my Masters in Education from DePaul. I have previously been a part-time babysitter, nanny, travel nanny, and swim teacher. I’ve cared for kids of all ages since I was 15. I’ve also been pet sitting occasionally for several years and am comfortable with all types of animals!
Hello there 👋🏻 I'm Kimberly I’m studying Disability and Human Development at UIC. I offer child care, senior care, and household help. I’ve been caring for kids of all ages and seniors, including those with Alzheimer’s and dementia, for over 10 years. I enjoy creating a safe and fun environment for kids with crafts, games, and storytime. I’ve also helped with schoolwork through my internship at Chicago HOPES for Kids. In addition to babysitting, I can help with cooking, cleaning, and errands. I’m available for occasional babysitting, including last-minute needs!
Hi!! I’m Sara and I’ve been a babysitter for more than 10 years. I love working with kids and have done so quite a bit in various settings, including as a teacher for after-school programs and as a camp counselor in summer gardening and swim camps. I’m also a very proud auntie to 3 nieces and 1 nephew and I’m pretty sure I’ve been crowned as the favorite aunt for my great attentiveness, care, and most importantly FUN. Some of my hobbies include baking, cooking, gardening, hiking (or being outside in general), swimming, and painting. Lastly about me, I speak Spanish and some Arabic and have a pet Cockatiel named Paco :) If you’re looking for a creative, warm, and highly reliable caretaker or nanny, I’d love to get in touch with you!

"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!"
