Kayla $25 per hour for 1 child
Hello! My name is Kayla, and I'm currently a union electrical apprentice that works full time and goes to school. I grew up and currently live in Libertyville with my fiancé and 3 cats. In my free time I love to ski and ride my motorcycle. I'm currently a part time nanny and am looking for other part time nanny work and or occasional babysitting gigs. **Fun babysitting is my specialty** I'm not a "turn the TV on and play on my phone" sitter. If your kids are playing a game or running around, I'm doing it with them, not just watching. I love spending time with kids and I can't wait to meet yours! :)

Kevin $20 per hour for 1 child
Hello! My name is Kevin and I am a newcomer when it comes to nannying. I graduated from DePaul University (2019) with a Bachelors in Communications Studies. I live in Chicago but work in Deerfield. I have also done several dog walks and house sitting on Rover for several years. If I'm not at home, I love to shop or run/work out! The only experience I have with children is as a Sunday school teacher for about a year
Serena $25 per hour for 1 child
Hi, I’m Serena! I’ve been the designated babysitter for my little cousins for as long as I can remember. As the youngest of three with two older brothers, I’ve always enjoyed being around children and caring for others. I’m also a nurse with experience working with all age groups, from newborns to adults. I’m responsible, patient, attentive, and calm under pressure, with a strong understanding of safety and care. I love keeping kids engaged through play, activities, and making sure they feel comfortable and cared for. I’m excited to bring my experience and caring personality to every family I work with!
