$18 per hour for 1 child

Greetings! I am First Aid and CPR Certified, and 37 years old. I have raised and trained two dogs, cared for seniors experiencing dementia and have 20 years experience caring for children of all ages. My strategy with kids (and seniors) is to slow down, answer all questions and give them options. As big sister to three boys, my entire childhood and young adulthood involved caring for kids. Once I left home, I became a certified post-partum doula, then went on to nanny full time. I became more curious about teaching kids, so became a theater teacher for kids ages 3-11 for 6 years. I am looking to build some caretaking relationships for children, pets and seniors.

Emily is an empathetic, creative, and compassionate caregiver. I feel completely at peace when she spends time with my son, because I know that her attention is on him fully, and she is so playful and engaging. Her patience is enviable and it is obvious she has spent much of her life around little ones- keeping them safe and encouraging play. I know this, because I have had the joy of watching them interact, and I see how focused she is on him and very tuned into how he likes to interact with the world; but also because my son begs to spend time with her. I would be delighted to speak with anyone who is considering hiring her.

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.

Booked by 1 family in Kenilworth, IL

With over a decade of professional experience in child care; lifeguard, swim instructor, children's birthday entertainer, substitute teacher, and daycare worker/pre-k teacher, I have just about every child imaginable. I've also been babysitting since I was 12, for my parents, cousins, friends, and the occasional co-worker who needed a night off. I've seen all ages, 6m-17y. I like to think I connect with children so well because I truly am just a big kid at heart. But I also know when play time is over and to be firm, but fair. I have training in basic first aid, CPR, basic diabetic care, certified in anaphylactic safety, certified in allergy safety, certified in food handling and safety.

Hailey is great! She checked in beforehand for any specific directions and showed up at our home a little early, ready to engage with the kids. She is kind and personable, the kids really enjoyed her being here, and we will see her again!

I love helping families in the neighborhood, and I'm great with homework help, meal prep, keeping the place clean, staying patient, and keep the house safe and quiet so that children can sleep while you're away.

Megan is an excellent babysitter. She is reliable, professional, and experienced, and she’s wonderful with my 1.5-year-old. She keeps him engaged with activities, is attentive to his needs, and makes sure he’s safe and happy. I have complete confidence in her and highly recommend her to other families.
