Real five-star reviews of Chicago babysitters, written by the families they sat for.
Erica is so kind and thoughtful. She listens to my son and plays patiently with him. She’s reliable, communicative, and an absolute pleasure to work with.
about Erica
Cristal saved the day when our previously scheduled sitter canceled last minute. She was professional, courteous, and safety conscious when caring for our kids. Would definitely hire her again!
about Cristal
Riley is an absolute gem. After having extensive conversations with her and witnessing her play and care for the kids, I’m completely at ease with having her babysit whenever we need her. She’s simply the best person for our family.
about Riley
Faith was awesome with my almost 2-year-old. Clearly great with kids and didn’t need any extra instruction as to what and how to play and care for my daughter. My daughter is really looking forward to Faith babysitting again!
about Faith
Natalie was great with my almost 2 year old. Super engaging and very responsive. It’s clear Natalie understands the different developmental stages of toddlers and adjusts to their needs. Thanks so much, Natalie!
about Natalie
Sarah was prompt, engaged, and our toddler took to her instantly! She has a very calm energy about her, asked all the right questions, and connects with children easily. Highly recommend!
