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 there! I'm Bella Perez, and while I may not have a lengthy professional resume in babysitting, I come from a wonderfully large family full of energetic kiddos that have given me a lot of hands-on experience! As the go-to family babysitter, I've embraced every giggle and storytime that comes with caring for my younger relatives - all on a volunteer basis. My role as the unofficial 'childcare coordinator' in my household has taught me patience, creativity, and the art of multitasking, ensuring your little ones are safe and happy.
