Booked by 4 families in Lake Bluff, IL

Hello I am a college student located near Loyola University Chicago but I have my car as reliable transportation. I’d love to work for your family for a date night or a last minute need. I have 2 summers experience working with large groups of children (ranging between 3mo-12yrs) at Lifetime fitness’s Kids Academy. I also have 2 years experience doing occasional babysitting for families specifically through this app. I have my infant, child, and adult CPR certification along with my first aid certification. I am very creative, so I would love to create fun and engaging activities for your child(ren). Or to just go along with any plans or schedule you have.

Artemis 1 review
$20 per hour for 1 child

Hi! My name is Artemis, my students call me Teacher Art! I’ve been teaching early childhood since April 2025 and I absolutely LOVE working with kids! My classroom had the most allergy students in the center so I am very familiar with allergy protocols. I have my SBS certification, my SIDS certification, and my Food Handler’s certification as well! My favorite things to do are puzzles, story time, and art activities! I also love getting to see what my students are interested in and using that knowledge to build stronger connections! I have a background in singing and art therapy, and I try to incorporate that into my work with my students. I have two years teaching experience with middle school aged students with disabilities as well. I’m fluent in English and Spanish, and intermediate in ASL. I also have experience working with seniors both in a nursing home and in home care as well. I have experience bathing and dressing seniors, meal prepping for them, and cleaning up their home. My dream would be to become a full time nanny for one family.

“Art was my daughter’s teacher, now her babysitter. Art is the only one we trust outside of family. They are professional, fun, and great at communicating. We know our daughter is having a blast and learning skills when Art is with her. Art is fantastic, cant recommend enough”

Jennah $16 per hour for 1 child

My name is Jennah! I am very friendly and easygoing. I like to be stern when needed. I enjoy creating schedules for the day, but if there is one in place as well, I am ready to follow it! :) I love working with young children and joining them on exploring their creativity. I love to cook simple meals and incorporating new things for them to try. I can help with all homework up to high school level. I have worked with multiple kids before for several years. I have a car and can perform all household duties/functions if needed! I currently do not have my own cleaning supplies to bring, but I will in a few months. If I am working with pets that require walking, I have worked with large dogs and am good to handle them on walks.
