Chicago Babysitters

I am a nanny here in Chicago. The two kiddos I watch are almost 5-year-old and 7 years old and I have been with them for almost 3 years now. As the youngest is almost 5 years old, she will be starting school full time in the Fall and I will be looking for another job. I have experience with infants as well. I was a nanny to a little girl in Portland from when she was around 4 months old-21 months old. I have babysat for other infants as well. I do have someone who is interested in a potential nanny share as well so if that is something you would be willing to consider it could definitely be discussed. I will still be in school but I am looking to take evening classes that don't start until 6:30 p.m. a couple days a week as well as online classes. As long as I can leave by about 5:45 p.m. a couple times a week the schedule would work out nicely. I hope to hear from you!

My name is Bethann, and I am 40 years old. I have worked with every age group throughout my life. I started babysitting when I was 12. I received my CDA, (Child Development Associate), certificate in 2000 after working in daycare as an assistant teacher for three years. While working in day care I learned a lot about child development. I worked in the daycare setting for about 10 years. While working at different centers, I also offered my babysitting services to the parents. I became close with many of the families, but have since lost contact. Since then I have been babysitting off and on for family and friends. My most recent job was watching my friends one and a half year old from 12-3:15 M-F, I did this from Feb-June. I am now an online student at Aurora University, majoring in Social Work, I have approximately two years until I graduate. I am very creative, kind, loving, and dependable. I am excited about working with you and your family!

Hi parents! My name is Ana and I live in West Town. I help families to take care of kids in Chicago ( and near by) and would love to meet with your kids as well. I will be glad to provide date night babysitting, also very flexible with schedule on weekends and last minute help. I have been babysitting for two years, and it has been the best experience of my life. I used to take children toddlers, but I can take any age you can think. I found the best way to spend my days and learn from them, kids are pretty awesome tiny humans. They are honest, funny, affectionate, and help me get out of my head for a while. I can indulge in the movies, books, and games I loved as a child.

I'm a clinical psychology PhD student here in Chicago with some extra free time coming up, and I'm hoping to do something that I love in the meantime: babysitting! I can currently commit to about 8-16 hours of work a week, as I am just working on my dissertation and my schedule is very flexible. I also spent a past summer as a full-time nanny. I love working with kids, and I am a patient, outgoing, and responsible person. Additionally, as a former Division-I college varsity swimmer and lifeguard for six years, I am very comfortable with kids around the water. I also give swim lessons! Looking for a part-time babysitter or someone to watch the kids on evenings and weekends? Seems like we will be a great fit!

Hello, my name is Batoul. Im a Nanny and Housekeeper with 20 years experience. In addition I have occasionally worked with senior citizens who suffer from dementia. I am certified in CPR. I have excellent references and don't mind working around and cleaning after pets (meow, ruff, tweet). I speak and read English, Arabic, and some Spanish. Thank you for considering me.

I have been interested in childcare from an early age. My earliest memories are of playing with my baby dolls and caring for them as I saw my mom do. When I reached the age of 11, I applied for and graduated from the American Red Cross babysitting course. After obtaining my certification my parents allowed me to babysit children in our neighborhood, providing that they would be available in the case that I needed assistance. As I became older and my childcare skills increased I was selected by multiple families to provide weekly care for their children when they were away. A few of the families were: a family with 6 children, ages 4 months to 11 years, another family had 4 children, ages 6 to 12 years. the next family had 5 children including triplets, ages 3 months to 6 years, and also another family with 3 children, ages 1 to 6 years old. I have been a nanny, as well as the occasional sitter when mom and dad are looking for a kid-free night out! In high school while my other friends worked at a food chain restaurant, or clothing stores, I continued to provide childcare for these families, and as well as being recommended to others. I have developed a deep, fun, loving relationship with the all the kids I babysit, and have previously babysat, as well as a trusting relationship with their parents. I don't intend for those relationships to slip away, as I adore all these families! Unfortunately, all grow older, and many of the little people I used to watch, are now old enough to care for themselves and their siblings, but they remain as brothers and sisters to me. They call me when they need to talk, they want advice, they want me to come watch their sporting or dance event, they have something funny to tell me, or simply because they have a new phone, and want to prank call Miss Karlyn! Currently, I am an undergrad student, studying pre-med with the intent of heading off to medical school in the next few years! I am also a certified cosmetology educator, and can cut/color/style hair, so the kids are guaranteed to look their best at all times.

I have had experience caring for children for the past 8-10 years. This includes church nursery, Sunday school and other church events, babysitting, camp counseling, and family members. The most children I have watched by myself is seven children, ages nine to 3 months old. I have also had experience with infant twins. The oldest children I have worked with are around the ages of 11 and 12. I enjoy working creatively with children, whether it's with their homework from school or games in their homes. Playing outside or taking walks to the park are also some of the activities that I greatly enjoy with the kids that I work with. I've also tutored children in the past, so if this is a need or a desire I can help to the best of my abilities. It is my hope that when working with the children, I am able to build a true relationship with them. I would love to work with families in a long-term position, but being on a "as needed" basis is also great.

My experience and abilities are outlined as follows: *Group Leader from August 2012-February 2015. I loved this job. I helped with homework, created and planned activities and games, taught swimming, and really enjoyed mentoring and being around the children! *Assistant Teacher April 2015-June 2015. I was a floater and a school age assistant teacher. I worked with all groups during the day and had the school aged classroom in the after noon. *I nannied for a family with one 7-year-old child from June 2015 - October 2015 and then began dropping him off and picking him for school and other scheduled activities. Over the summer we went places like the library, Navy Pier and Museum. *I was given the opportunity to be a live in nanny from October 2015 - February 2016 in Boston.

I am 22yrs old, currently studying psychology at University! I have 9 years of hands on experience with children ranging from infants- 12yrs of age! I am loving, caring, hard working, and responsible! I also have my own reliable car, a clean driving record and great references!

Hello, my name is Arianna and I have experience with babysitting since I was 12 and I have been a nanny since I was 16 for two twin girls during the summers. I currently study Early Childhood Education at Lawrence University and work at a Childcare center. I have also worked at the Boys and Girls club and have taught youth dance classes. I like to encourage creativity so I often have art projects or different activities that involve imagination planned. As much as possible, I try to limit "screen time" and make sure the kids stay active and engaged.
