Hi families! I'm a recent nursing school graduate with years of babysitting experience caring for children of all ages, from newborns to older kids. Babysitting has been a part of my life for years, and I've had the opportunity to work with many wonderful families. My nursing background has strengthened my knowledge of child safety, patience, and providing attentive, compassionate care. I'm dependable, nurturing, and love creating a fun, safe environment where kids can feel comfortable and be themselves. I'd love to connect with your family and see how I can help!

Booked by 1 family in Forest Park, IL

As a nanny with six years of experience, I am confident in my ability to provide excellent care for your children and contribute to your household in a variety of ways. I would love to find a family that needs requiring Friday evening sittings. I would love to help a family unwind from a chaotic week and enter the weekend with well rested children and a clean home. After spending some time playing with the kids and feeding them dinner I will assist your children with their bedtime routine. After the children are asleep I will spend the remaining hours cleaning and tidying the home. I feel it is important for a home to be clean so the family can function as smooth as possible. My passion for seeing children grow into caring, creative, and fun individuals is what drives me to be a nanny. I have been fortunate enough to work with children of varying ages, from infants to pre-teens, throughout my career. In my previous roles, I have always strived to create a sate and nurturing environment for the children in my care, while also encouraging their growth and development through play and educational activities.

“Jackie was great!”

$18 per hour for 1 child

I’m a patient, responsible, and upbeat babysitter with experience caring for children of all ages. As the oldest sister to my 9 year old brother, I’ve had hands on experience keeping kids happy, safe, and entertained. I also work at tutoring center, where I help students build academic skills and confidence, so I know how to keep things both fun and productive! Whether it’s helping with homework, reading stories, or playing games, I always aim to create a safe, positive environment. I’m CPR certified and very reliable, and I’d love the chance to support your family!

“My kids absolutely love spending time with Shantal! She takes great care of them and always plans fun activities to keep them engaged. My oldest is 12 and my youngest is 9, and they both look forward to the days she comes over. She has become an essential part of our family!”

Destiny $17 per hour for 1 child
Booked by 1 family in Forest Park, IL

Hi ! - My name is Destiny , I’m currently not working as I stay home with my baby boy who is 2yrs old! I have 3 younger brothers who I have taken care of at one point in time. I started expanding to babysitting some of my coworkers, friends and family’s children. I have taken care of kids of all ages within my church as well. I love to go out with the kids on beautiful days and on those not so beautiful days I love connect with the child to create a bond over any of my many hobbies such as dancing, reading, sketching , and etc. I also am open and eager to be expanding to house and senior care!

Aaliyah $24 per hour for 1 child

Hello! My name is Aaliyah, and I’m a caring, dependable sitter with a genuine passion for working with children. I have experience creating a safe, engaging, and supportive environment where kids can learn, grow, and feel confident being themselves. I love to cook (and bake homemade sweets), going on long walks, and doing arts and crafts. I’m currently in college studying to eventually become a pediatric nurse! I pride myself on being patient, attentive, and communicative with both children and parents, ensuring each family feels comfortable and supported. I own 3 cats, and all my life I grew up with animals from dogs to lizards, so I’m very comfortable with helping out and taking care of your pets too! Thank you for reading :))
