Hello! I'm Rachael :) I'm a teacher so I'm available evenings/days off school! Also looking for a summer 2026 nanny job! About my childcare background: I have a degree in education and I currently work in a school reading and math intervention. I've previously worked as a nanny for several years and I have lots of experience with childcare. About me: In addition to my teaching job, I also work as a tour guide. When I'm not working, I have several hobbies such as classical music (I'm a violinist), sewing, and cooking. I love animals too! Please let me know if there is any illness in the home before I arrive. I work several jobs and even a slight illness can significantly affect my ability to make a living. An illness isn't an automatic "no" but I need to be able to assess the situation before I am exposed. Of course, I will extend the same courtesy to you and your family and will always be up front about any symptoms I may be experiencing as well. The safety of your children/family/pets is a top priority for me. Got my latest covid/flu shots September 2025! Tdap vaccine January 2025 No allergies

My name is Laurelai and I am a former speech-language pathologist with experience working clinically with ages 3-14 and experience babysitting all ages. I now work full-time in medical education/administration, and am looking for one-time or as-needed babysitting opportunities. I grew up with three much younger siblings so I have been around children my whole life! I have worked as a child caretaker in a church, a toddler room supervisor, a nanny, and I have been babysitting for many years. I am CPR/First Aid certified for all ages (infant-adult). I have intermediate sign language experience. I have worked with multiples (twins and triplets) and children with special needs including cerebral palsy and oppositional/defiant disorder. I have experience working with infants, toddlers, and school-aged children. In college I minored in vocal performance because I love to sing! I also played violin for 10+ years. I love to play games, read books, visit parks, sing songs and have fun! I provide services throughout the city of Chicago. **At this time I am not available for school pick-ups/drop-offs or recurring positions. I am flexible on nights and weekends. Feel free to reach out about last-minute or one-time needs!** Up-to-date on all vaccinations including COVID-19 & annual flu shot. CPR/First Aid certified for infant-adult Current certification expires Oct 2026

“Laurelai was punctual, flexible, and professional. my 4 yr old daughter was very quickly at ease with her. ”

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!

I am the oldest of six children and was more of a parent than a sister to all of them. The two youngest kids are 15 and 13 years younger than I am. I love children and have always enjoyed being around them. I am a trained Chef and can cook or help prepare meals if needed. I am also a Chef Instructor and Assistant Food Stylist. At this time I am interested in occasional babysitting to supplement my freelance income. Being able to hang out with kids would be a fun and fulfilling way to do that.

“Quick to respond, so friendly, and good with my 11 year old. They had a great time!”
