Mary Beth $30 per hour for 1 child

I have more than 15 years of experience. I am a grandmother to a 12 year old granddaughter. I have baby sat my 12 nieces and nephews. I have also watched twins, infants, toddlers, and grade school children. Once you get to know me you will feel at peace leaving your child with me. I will treat your children as if they were my own. They will always be in great care. You won’t have to worry about me being on my cell phone or watching tv while your children are in my care. I am honest, reliable, and dependable. I come from a family of educators and school psychologists. I love reading, taking walks, arts and crafts, going to the park, and tummy time. Looking forward to hearing from your soon.

Ashlea $20 per hour for 1 child

As a recent newlywed, I'm new to babysitting (used to in my teens) but I'm excited to gain more experience again with children of all ages as my husband and I plan to start a family in the next few years. My background includes a BA in Communications from Columbia College in Missouri, and minors in English and Film Studies. I have CPR training from eight years of serving in the Army Reserves as a Lieutenant, so my first aid skills apply mostly to adults, but I have reviewed several training videos recently on CPR for toddlers and babies. I would love to share any of my skills and hobbies — music, golf, writing (creative and non-fiction), cooking/baking, and even basic French — with any children who are interested! Here's a little background about my interests: I have played piano and violin since I was 10 and 11 years old — while I played violin in Mizzou's orchestra in college, I no longer play professionally, although I continue to practice piano frequently. I'm also an avid golfer and have played since I was 12, and even taught my husband how to play! I'm a published fiction author and have a passion for writing. I've worked in media and marketing full-time since college and now work part-time with Chicago Star Media (used to be full-time and ran the company until we moved out of Chicago, but I continue to oversee the editorial side of things). A few years ago, I also created my own blog called "Sincerely, Ashlea" to be able to write about things I'm passionate about, including beauty, travel, books, food and wine. Since getting married, I have fallen in love with cooking and baking! I explore new recipes and recently overhauled our entire kitchen to remove all processed foods from our diets at home, so I make pretty much everything from scratch. I have cookbooks by moms who enjoy cooking with their children, so I have plenty of kid-friendly recipes handy. While I'm not fluent, I've loved French since taking it in high school and visited Bordeaux. I've been relearning this summer and have remastered the basics with a 115-day Duo Lingo streak. I am eager to positively impact your children's lives in any way that I can! NOTE: If driving or picking up kids from school is required, I would need a car provided (my husband and I moved to the beach from downtown Chicago in April, so I don't have a car). Because of this, I do prefer families that I can easily access via the train along the shore and/or within a 45-minute walking distance.

Hello families! I am a third grade teacher living in Brooklyn. I have been a full time teacher for ten years and have over fifteen years of experience working with elementary and middle school age children in classroom and home settings. I began working with children when I started babysitting my toddler twin cousins, and have worked in education and childcare for over ten years. I currently teach fourth grade in Brooklyn. I’ve previously taught first grade, third grade, and K-12 art therapy. I am excited to work with all ages of children, and love to engage in their favorite activities with them. Thanks so much for reading, I look forward to working with you! Best, Leanne

Leann was wonderful and our 5 year old really enjoyed her. She was on time, friendly, and enjoyed the two dogs! We will definitely use her again.
