Hi! I am looking to pick up hours currently as I have some flexibility when I donβt have class for my doctoral program/school. Before coming to Chicago, I worked at an elementary school in Iowa where I provided additional supports for k-3. I come from a big family (6 kids) and I love it. I love being surrounded by friends and family and always have had a passion for working with children. I started babysitting in high school and I nannied during undergrad for the same family for ~3 years. I have two chicago families that I worked for full-time, but now work for occasionally, and/or fill in. I have been with both 2+ years. I have experience with kiddos from three months to teens and I am available ASAP! :)Thank you! Feel free to reach out with any questions

Hello! I have been a babysitter for two years fully paid in my hometown Litchfield Illinois. I am now a junior at McKendree University as a psychology Major. I have a 3 year old nephew that I love watching and babysitting on the weekends for my sister and I have a goddaughter/ niece that is about to turn one this year that I have helped take care of and watch. I have babysat children of the ages between 2 months up to 13 years old! I love being able to help take the stress away with work life and home life, it can be very stressful so having help always makes it seem a little less stressful. I am also a cheerleader at my college, but my practices are in the morning and my schedule is pretty flexible for my classes.

Getting a babysitter can be scary, and I want to help. Through connecting with the child in their interests to keeping constant communication with the parent, I hope to ensure your child's safety and happiness when in my care.

Hi! Iβm 19 years old, Iβve been babysitting kids from newborn to age 3 for about a year now, mostly for family, but Iβm ready to branch out and meet new families. Iβm super patient and really good with little ones, I genuinely enjoy it. Iβm also a big animal lover, so pets are never an issue with me. Right now Iβm in school for medical assisting, so I take care and safety seriously. Would love to help watch your little one!
