Tiana $16 per hour for 1 child

Hi! I’m Tiana, a dependable and caring babysitter who brings a fun, calm energy to childcare. I love keeping kids engaged through creative activities like arts and crafts, reading, and imaginative play, while always prioritizing safety and structure. I’m patient, attentive, and great at following routines like homework time, meals, and bedtime. I have experience working with children ages 4-10 due to mentorship programs. I also come from a large family, having six siblings, so I am capable of watching numerous children at once. Outside of caretaking, I am currently a college student getting a BFA. I also have work experience in public event management, catering to a wide age range. I aim to make every event accessible and inclusive to all.

Natalie $19 per hour for 1 child

Hi! I’m a student at the University of Illinois Urbana-Champaign with experience in both childcare and pet care. I’ve been tutoring and babysitting since my freshman year of high school and have worked with youth programs, where I learned to create a safe, structured, and engaging environment for kids. I also have experience caring for pets and enjoy providing reliable care including walks, feeding, playtime, and companionship while maintaining their routines. I’m responsible, patient, and easy to communicate with, and I take pride in being dependable and attentive. With a background in lifeguarding, also serving in the national guard, I’m very safety-focused and calm in any situation. My goal is to give families peace of mind knowing their children and pets are well cared for.

Michelle $20 per hour for 1 child

Hello! I’m Michelle, and I recently moved from New York City to Chicago. I bring over 3 years of experience as an Emergency Room nurse, where I gained valuable skills in patient care, safety, and attention to detail. Before becoming a nurse, I spent many years tutoring and babysitting children of all ages, starting at the age of 13. In addition to babysitting, I am happy to help with household chores, cooking, and cleaning. I can also provide care for seniors, using my medical background to offer an extra layer of support and safety. While I don’t have a driver’s license, I am reliable, responsible, and always ensure a high standard of care. I look forward to helping your family with both child care and household needs!

Karen $22 per hour for 1 child

Hi – My name is Karen, and I’m currently on a gap year from the University of Michigan. I’m using this time to work and save up before returning to finish my degree. I love working with kids and making sure they feel safe, happy, and cared for. I’ve helped my aunt with her nanny job and also worked at a home daycare, caring for children of different ages. I’ve also cared for my nieces, so I’m used to keeping things fun, patient, and organized. I can cook, help with light cleaning, and assist with household tasks. I don’t drive, but I’m reliable, always on time, and prefer families nearby or accessible by public transit. I’m also comfortable working with dogs and enjoy creating a warm, positive environment for families.
