Lilly $25 per hour for 1 child

A little about me: I am in my early twenties, just graduated from the University of Iowa and I work in advertising downtown. As for my experience with watching over kids, I have worked many years as a camp counselor at a high-end sailing camp in the British Virgin Islands, and have also been a student volunteer at a primary school in New Zealand. I have my CPR as well. I am the eldest of three, so caretaking has been a big part of my life! I've also been walking dogs, housekeeping, and petsitting since before I could drive a car ;) Please reach out to me if you need a weekly housekeeper, housesitter, babysitter, petsitter, or dog walker. I would be delighted to chat!

Sydne $19 per hour for 1 child

Hi! I am Sydne! I just moved to Chicago with my sister after graduating from the University of Arizona this past year! I am beginning work at Lurie Children’s Hospital as a Registered Nurse this fall! I have been a sitter/ nanny for the last 7 years and keep doing it because I love spending time with kids and helping them grow into kind & inquisitive individuals. I am excited to meet new families and kids in the Chicago area!

Becca $25 per hour for 1 child

Hi! My name is Becca :) I recently graduated with my Master of Social Work and am looking for part-time or short-term babysitting gigs while I search for my full-time job. I have 10 years of paid child-care experience- everything from date-night babysitting to full-time and summer nannying to working as a camp counselor. I also have worked with children and families in a therapeutic capacity as a social work intern. I have the most experience with the 0-5 age range. I love reading books, coloring, doing puzzles, and going for walks! I am CPR/First Aid certified, comfortable with pets, have access to reliable transportation, and am happy to provide references as requested. Excited to hopefully connect!

Morgan 1 review
$21 per hour for 1 child
Booked by 1 family in Wilmette, IL

I am an ER Physician Assistant waiting to begin my job in April/May! I love kiddos and am looking to help families out while supplementing my income before beginning my career. My previous experience includes babysitting, working with children and adults with developmental disabilities, and working in a pediatric hospital. I spent 4 years as an ER tech at Nationwide Children’s Hospital in Columbus, OH which is a Level 1 trauma center so I am very informed on safety, illness prevention, and complex medical conditions. I have experience with infants 0 days old all the way up to 18 year olds. I absolutely adore younger kids and babysitting opportunities so I can have fun doing crafts and playing outside! I grew up in Denver, CO and love the outdoors and really enjoy taking kiddos outside when possible and away from their tablets. I also grew up with cats and currently have two so I am very comfortable with them. I also love dogs and have experience dog sitting.

“Super fast response and short notice acceptance - greatly appreciated! Morgan was great with our almost 4 year old son. Would absolutely hire again!”

Debbie $19 per hour for 1 child

Good day! I am Debbie and I’m 21 years old. I’m from the Philippines and English is my second language. Currently in my first year of my Nursing program mostly online. So to speak, I’ve been doing caregiving for seniors for about 2 years now as my part time job. I have decided to explore, and try to nanny children. I have younger siblings which is an advantage for me.
