Hi! My name is Tatiana I am a lead teacher at a Reggio Emilia daycare and I’d love to sit for your family. I’ve worked with kids for over 4 years, and I’ve been babysitting for over 7 years. I also hold my CDA (Child Development Associate), covering ages newborn through older toddlers. I’m reliable, patient, and great at keeping kids engaged while following your routines.

Tatiana is very attentive, caring, and genuinely loves kids! Tatiana was very flexible to meet my needs and took excellent care of my infant. I felt completely comfortable leaving my son in her care after our initial meeting. I will absolutely hire Tatiana again very soon!

Looking for date night families and part time summer jobs. . I have decades of experience working with children of all ages and am a certified teacher. I am known as dependable, fun, and caring. I am great at telling stories, reading books, doing crafts, trips to the park, and singing children's songs. I am a mom of two sons as well as a certified teacher and tutor.

Edith was wonderful! From the moment she arrived, she made my daughter laugh and feel comfortable. She brought such a warm, positive energy and connected with her right away.

Hi, my name is Janneth! Originally from Mexico, I’m bilingual in English and Spanish, and I’ve been caring for children since I was 15 years old. Babysitting has always been more than just a job for me, it’s a beautiful way to connect with kids and be welcomed into their world through kindness, patience, and respect. I remember how challenging it was for my parents to find someone they could truly trust to care for me and my siblings. That’s why I take this role seriously and always show up with the same love and respect that my parents wished for us. I love spending time outdoors, doing puzzles, coloring, and listening to music. I’m also great with dogs, I’m happy to help with Spanish homework or practice! Your child’s safety, joy, and well-being are my top priorities, and I look forward to being someone you can count on.

Hi there! My name is Emily and I am currently a student at Northeastern Illinois University! I am an undergrad student specializing in social work while working as a part-time sitter/house manager. I love children and have always found my way into many children’s hearts. I have previous baby sitting experience as well as years experience working with the Chicago Park District as recreational leader for their play camp program that gave me the opportunity to work alongside 20 amazing children from the ages of 4-5 in the community. Being a camper myself when I was younger I learned the importance of having the people around children teaching them values and Influencing them in the right ways. I am a very creative person in my free time and always like to have a good time! Arts and crafts are a speciality of mine! Plus knowing about the latest toys for the kiddos!
