Confirm your nanny, then pay in the app after the job.
Chicago parents pay about $23 an hour on Wyndy. Weekly pay depends on the hours you need, how many kids you have and the schedule.
Yes. Before a sitter can take jobs on Wyndy, they pass a background check that covers an identity and Social Security number trace, criminal records and the national sex offender registry. We also verify their phone number and any college they list.
College students, recent grads and experienced caregivers who live near Chicago, including students and grads of University of Illinois at Chicago, DePaul University and Loyola University Chicago. Each profile shows their school, experience and reviews from other parents.
A babysitter usually covers occasional care, like a date night or a single afternoon. A nanny works a regular weekly schedule, like three afternoons a week. Many Wyndy sitters do both.
Save the sitters you like, then offer them your job with the date and time. You can also post it so nearby sitters apply. Book the one you want, and after the job, pay in the app once the sitter submits their hours.
