Booked by 4 families in Skokie, IL

Hi, My name is Aryana. I am a current law student in my first year at The University of Illinois -Chicago school of law right downtown. I currently live in Hermosa which is a little neighborhood near logan square. I am the second oldest of 5 and have a small passion for teaching children (I was a substitute teacher in my last year of undergrad). I would love to spend a few hours a week babysitting to spend more time with kids but also to gain a little more income while in law school so I am not solely relying on student loans. Looking for something more occasional/ flexible so that I still have time to do homework. I am a very active person, I love playing games (video games, board games, interactive activities like blocks, barbies, and cars) with children, I enjoy reading bedtime stories and I can be firm so making sure your child is in bed on time will be no problem at all. I respect the parent's wishes at all times and make sure to never cross any boundaries. I believe it is important for the child to feel safe with me and most importantly for the parents to trust me, so like my mom says whatever she says goes, so I hold the parents to that same standard. It would be an honor to meet your family and possibly look after your child for the time being. I look forward to hopefully hearing from you. Best, Aryana

Hi! My name is Ally and I'm a School Social Worker at an elementary school. I work primarily with students who are PreK-2nd grade. I am offering child care and pet care. I love spending time with kids and have been babysitting various ages since I was 15 years old. I enjoy doing anything (games, crafts, helping with homework, driving to activities, etc)! I am CPR certified and have taken many courses for my career related to social emotional skills and regulation. I have also watched both pets since I was 13 years old. I love dogs and cats, and am comfortable with any breed or size. I have a German Shepherd, so I’m also used to hair :)

Hi! I am a college student majoring in Accounting at the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign. I have been a swim instructor for kids under the age of 12 for a year and I have tutored children how to play piano for 2-3 years. I am very social, patient and fun and have loved my teaching jobs and would like to move onto babysitting kids and taking care of pets as well! I love arts and crafts, games, fun activities, teaching, animals and walks! I am also a fluent Spanish speaker and an intermediate German speaker. My mom has been a full time nanny for 15 years and I have learned a lot on how to be an excellent babysitter!

Booked by 7 families in Skokie, IL

For the past 20 years I have been entrusted to nurture newborns, to help preschoolers learn their numbers and letters, to organize fun activities, educational outgoings and to help families balance the many demands in their lives. As a mother of four children myself, I have always been privileged to help young people grow and learn. I continue to find this kind of work to be my labor of love.

“Kareena showed up early and jumped right in. She’s incredibly experienced and gave us tons of tips on things that have worked for her in the past. I can’t wait to have her come back! Our son loved her immediately.”
