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 there! I currently work a FT role in logistics for a large trucking company but childcare has always been a true passion for me. I am excited to connect with families that have part time babysitting requests. I graduated from University of Iowa in 2012 with a Communication Studies degree and a Certificate in Entrepreneurship. Working with children, whether it's babysitting or nanny positions has always been something I have thoroughly enjoyed and integrated in my free time. I would be more than happy to share my resume and references so you can learn a little more about myself. Over my high school and college summer breaks I have held a variety of nanny or part-time babysitting roles. My current availability is some weekday evenings and weekends! Please let me know what questions you might have. I look forward to connecting soon. Sarah

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!

Hi, my name is Christina and I'm currently a freshman in college. I've been working with kids since I was 13 and love it. I started by watching my godmother's two children, then began babysitting for a kid in my neighborhood. Over the last few years, I've worked primarily with toddlers and young children, but I love kids of all ages. If it's a nice day, I like to take the kids outside (to a park, zoo, playground, out for ice cream); but if it's not, I whip out my baking skills, crafts and puzzles :) I make it my priority to maintain a healthy and safe environment for the kids, and I establish a positive relationship with them through a variety of activities. In my free time, I love organizing, cooking, watching movies, and socializing with my friends. I'm energetic which allows me to keep up with your kids during their crazy moments! If you are looking for a fun, patient, trusting, and kind-hearted sitter for you children, look no further and contact me.

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.

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.

For two summers I nannied for 3 girls, all 16 months apart, and all under the age of 4. I have recently relocated back to the Chicago-land area and am looking to earn a little extra rent money. I have a full time job in the loop and live in Lincoln Park so I am looking for weeknights and weekend opportunities. I have my own car and can be available last minute. I have over 10 years of babysitting experience and am extremely reliable. Thank you for taking the time to read this.
