$18 per hour for 1 child
Booked by 1 family in Skokie, IL

I am a sophomore in college at Case Western Reserve University in Cleveland, Ohio. I have years of experience working with all ages. My younger sister is 13 years my junior and I have cared for her since she was born. I was a youth leader with the Neighborhood Boys and Girls Clubs in Chicago and a camp counselor and daycare worker with JCYS. I have been a full time summer nanny for a family with two children under the ages of 6 for the past two years. I have babysit for around 20 families throughout my babysitting career! I am looking for babysitting jobs in Cleveland during the school year and Chicago during Holidays and summers.

“Ava is a wonderful babysitter. She kept my daughter active, having fun and learning while doing things! My daughter LOVES Ava and gets so excited when she is babysitting. I recommend Ava without hesitation. You and your kiddos will love her.”

Isabella $19 per hour for 1 child

Hii my names Isabella ! I’m a 20 year old currently studying Biology with a focus on Genetics. I’m in my final year and excited to be just one year away from earning my bachelor’s degree. I’ve always been passionate about science and the way it helps us understand life on a deeper level, especially in the field of genetics. I’ve also always had a natural connection with kids I love spending time with them, learning from their curiosity, and helping them grow. Growing up, my family worked in household roles like housekeeping and house management, and they often took me along. So from a young age, I got to see what it means to be responsible, organized, and attentive to others’ needs. That experience really shaped the way I carry myself today. Outside of school and work, I love being outdoors, trying new foods, and finding little adventures around the city. Whether it’s going to a street market, spending time with family, or just relaxing with a good movie, I like to stay balanced and appreciate the small things in life.
