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.
Hi, my name is Oskar! I’m 25 years old and looking for a consistent babysitting position with a great family. While I don’t have formal childcare job experience, I’ve grown up around lots of younger cousins and am very comfortable caring for kids in a hands-on, responsible way. I’m dependable, patient, and fun to be around, and I always prioritize safety and structure. I’m most comfortable with potty-trained children and enjoy keeping kids engaged with activities, games, and routines that make them feel secure and happy. I’m also very comfortable with pets. I regularly dog-sit for a friend, so furry family members are never a problem! I’m looking for something consistent where I can build trust with a family and become someone both parents and kids can rely on.
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.”

Hi there! I'm a passionate and experienced nanny who loves bringing joy and creativity to every day. With over 5 years of experience and glowing references, I'm skilled at making each moment special—whether it's crafting, painting, reading, or having a spontaneous dance party indoors. If your little one loves the outdoors, I'm equally excited to explore parks, visit libraries, or just enjoy some fresh air together. Currently working a 9-5 job, but I miss the magic of nannying and would love to bring my enthusiasm and flexible schedule to your family. Let's keep your child happy, engaged, and having fun!

"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."
Lila P., parent

"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!"
