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.
Jeimy $24 per hour for 1 child
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!
Max $20 per hour for 1 child
I am a certified educator and teach PreK-8th grade Writing with CPS during the academic year. I have a master's degree in education, and am happy to provide tutoring services while I babysit.
Casey $22 per hour for 1 child
Booked by 1 family in Riverside, IL
Growing up in an in-home daycare run by my mom, caring for children is one of the things I know best--I have over ten years of professional experience working as a daycare teacher, babysitter, and nanny. Past work has included caring for 1-5 kids at a time, at a range of ages from infant to school-aged. I specifically love getting to know kids for all of their quirks and personalities, helping them learn and grow, and doing all I can to ensure that we have a full, fun day together. A little about me personally: I am from originally from the Nashville area and moved to Chicago to pursue a career in the performing arts, which I do primarily now alongside childcare. Besides performing and caring for kids, I enjoy reading, exploring the city, and spending time with friends. I look forward to meeting and connecting with you soon!
Tia $20 per hour for 1 child

"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!"
