Hi! After years of using wyndy down in Birmingham, AL, I am back home in Chicago and looking forward to babysitting here while I complete my Masters in Public Health. I have experience with date nights/occasional sitting as well as nannying. I love outdoor activities with kids or just being silly and getting some energy out. It’s important to me that I make the kids feel valued and pay attention to their individual needs.

Hi!!!! My name is Ashley. I’ve been babysitting on and off for a little over two years. I took some time away to focus on school and earn my CNA certification, and I’ve now been working as a Certified Nursing Assistant for almost three years. I currently work PRN for a hospice company, but my true passion has always been caring for children. I genuinely enjoy spending time with kids and creating a fun, safe, and nurturing environment where they can learn, play, and feel comfortable. When I was 15 years old, I completed a babysitting certification course, giving me a strong foundation in child care and safety. I would love the opportunity to care for your little ones and provide dependable, compassionate care. Thank you so much for taking the time to learn a little about me I look forward to meeting your family!

Hi! I’m Elizabeth, and I’ve been working with children for about 9 years, starting at age 15 in an in-home daycare setting. Since then, I’ve worked in a daycare center, student-taught kindergarten, and substituted for students from pre-K through 8th grade. I’ve cared for children from 6 months through school age and truly love what I do!I’m creative, patient, dependable, and always looking for fun ways to keep kids engaged.
