I am a caring and dependable childcare provider with 6+ years of experience as a special education classroom assistant, currently pursuing my master's in special education. I'm skilled in creating a safe, structured, and nurturing environment while supporting children's individual needs and development. I enjoy engaging kids in fun, age-appropriate activities, helping with routines, and encouraging independence. I'm patient, attentive, and value strong communication with families.
With over 10 years experience nurturing kids from newborns to teens, I am confident in my ability to provide exceptional support to both your children and your family. I bring fun, creativity, and a sprinkle of imagination to every babysitting gig while ensuring parents feel secure knowing their little ones are in caring hands. With a Master's in Social Work and a career dedicated to empowering seniors, I am equipped me with exceptional communication skills, allowing me to connect with children on their level while fostering a safe and engaging environment. Whether it's organizing fun activities or providing emotional support during difficult moments, I thrive on creating positive experiences for every child in my care. I am eager to broaden my day-to-day experiences by returning to my roots of working with kids. Being active and engaged is essential when caring for children. Whether it's organizing outdoor games or crafting creative projects indoors, I always strive to keep kids entertained while nurturing their creativity. My strong communication skills allow me to build trusting relationships with both children and parents alike, ensuring open lines of dialogue about any concerns or updates. I pride myself on being punctual and responsible. My patience and creativity allow me to tackle challenges with a positive attitude. I have experience with caring for up to 8 kids at once. I thrive in busy settings where I can make a positive impact on young lives. I have successfully managed bedtime routines, meal preparation, homework assistance, responding to atypical physical and intellectual abilities, transporting to and from activities, and while maintaining a fun and active atmosphere. My ability to communicate effectively with both children and parents has always been a cornerstone of my approach—fostering trust and ensuring everyone feels heard. I would love the opportunity to discuss how my background aligns with your family's needs and how I can contribute positively as your babysitter.
Hi! My name is Julieta. I am a 23 year old college student, studying Nutrition and applying to Medical School this upcoming May. I have experience with babysitting since I was in middle school and leading after school clubs with younger kids who are learning how to read or teaching them Spanish and culture. I also have worked at a Children's museum for almost two years. As well as, making kids comfortable while working in the ER as a tech. I love to have fun with kids by interacting with any activity they love to do whether its joining in on their imagination, games, crafts, or going outside to play! I am a huge believer in exercise, being outdoors, and staying healthy so I am open to going to parks or simply playing outside. In addition, I am super informed about allergies and food sensitivities so I would love to know what I can do to ensure safety. Been to many medical emergency/CPR trainings as well. I am a great communicator whether it is through the phone or texting so I can keep you updated! My focus is to make you as parents and the kids as comfortable as possible. As of pets I grew up always around animals whether it was having a 160 pound Newfoundland dog to a mini Australian Shepard and a elderly cat or even having a bearded dragon once! I love to take dogs on a walks or simply playing with them. I have a cat of my own and our favorite thing to do together is take naps :)
Hi! My name is Kara and I'm currently a sophomore at UIC studying theatre. I am offering childcare, cat sitting, and household services. I've always loved babysitting and have been watching infants, toddlers, and kids since I was fourteen (I have a really big family with lots of younger cousins who I've helped out with all my life), as well as worked at a daycare where I took care of children ages infant to five years old. Due to my theatre background I regularly include make believe play in my interactions with children, using different voices and mannerisms while asking the children questions and helping to build their imaginative skills. On top of that I've also been certified by the Red Cross in infant and regular CPR. I can also work as a household assistant and can clean and run errands. As I have my own cat I am more than comfortable with cat sitting and have done so for multiple family friends.
I'm an experienced mother of three and grandmother of 5, also have been teaching Sunday school at Second Unitarian Church of Chicago for several years. I enjoy being with children and treat them with respect and care. I started babysitting when I was 13 and now that I'm older, I'm enjoying continuing to care for babies and children. I still have lots of energy! Susan
“I met Susan years ago when she was my child's religious education teacher, and I was struck instantly by her warmth and patience with the kids and her clear communication with parents. My kiddo loved spending time with Susan in those classes, and Susan has been our babysitter since. She is consistently amazing with my kid, very grandmotherly energy. I can count on her and I know my kiddo is in good hands with Susan. Kids find her huggable, and she is easy to talk to for people of any age.”

"Caitlin was awesome and jumped right in to chaperone four girls (10, 9, 8 and 6) at a family wedding (they were bridesmaids) and she was very helpful with the event as well as taking them home and putting them to bed."

"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!"
