Part-Time Babysitter/Nanny Available

I started babysitting at a very young age, I knew how to change a diaper by the time I was 6 years old. I have watched 7 kids for an entire summer. They are ages 1, 3, 7, 9, 10, 12, and 15. During the summer, I was in charge of taking them to anything such as soccer practice, play dates, music lessons, to the park, and getting them through the daily routines which would include making sure they are dressed, cleaned, fed, and happy. At the end of every day, they would be dressed for bed and we would finish with a story. I have a lot of cousins as well and have had other babysitting jobs which allowed me to gain further experience. I have taken a babysitting class at the park district and have been certified in CPR since I was in girl scouts. I also worked at a preschool that was through my high school.

Very comfortable with meal prep, house cleaning and errands/activities.

Reviewed by Lisa R. Aug 2020 5/5 stars

We met Hattie when she was our kids' swimming instructor and quickly realized why she was everyone's favorite! We had several instructors after that, because Hattie's sessions were always full, and no one came close to how caring and attentive she was with our kids. She began babysitting for our daughter (age 8) and son (age 6) and quickly became one of our first calls. She is responsible, fun and great at lovingly setting firm boundaries with the kids. She walked our kids to and from school and swim and also easily handled meal responsibilities when asked. Our kids still ask for their hard boiled eggs "Hattie-style":) We moved to NC last year and miss her dearly!

I am a fun loving and engaging babysitter that is ready to play! I absolutely love taking care of children, and have been since high school and throughout most of my adult life. I started out babysitting the neighborhood kids in high school and eventually began taking a Child Development course during my Junior and Senior year. During that time, we ran a small daycare in our school for 3 and 4-year-olds, and I was able to create my own lesson plans, work on developmental skills, sing songs and play games, and learn a wealth of information that I take into every job that I do! Since then, I have been a Nanny both in New York and Chicago, so I have experience taking care of kids in a city environment and traveling through public transit! I also have worked with various families and babysitting agencies, and have loved every second of it. I hope to hear from you soon!

Aubrey is an incredible human being! I couldn't have asked for a better sitter to take care of my cat while I was out of town for a few weeks. After meeting with her initially, I knew that I would have nothing to worry about. She was extremely respectful of my place and went above and beyond. There were even times when Aubrey stayed longer than she had to just to hang out with my cat and make sure that she wasn't lonely. I never had to remind her of anything and was very communicative the entire time. You can tell that she really does love animals and will give your pet the love that they deserve. Overall amazing job, again thank you so much!

Hello lovely parents! Here's a little bit about me: for 3 years I worked for a family of five (two girls, one boy) and four (one girl, one boy) in San Antonio, TX. After wrapping up my undergrad in Theatre, I packed my bags and moved to Chicago in 2015 to continue working as a theater artist, youth mentor in the arts, and babysitter. Coming from an arts background, I enjoy playing games with children and encouraging them to use their imagination. I'm also very flexible about a parent's expectation of me in their home. Below are some of the responsibilities I've taken on in homes I've worked for in the past: cooking, light/heavy housekeeping, errands, grocery shopping, homework help/tutoring, Spanish lessons, pick up/drop off kids at school and/or activities, and play dates. Additionally, I am organized, detail oriented, and highly skilled in communication. I pride myself on being an emotionally intelligent, positive, caring and respectful individual.

Stefani W.|Chicago, IL

Former Early Childhood Teacher With 5 Years Of Experience

Hello everyone! I'm Stefani, and I moved to Chicago back in March. I have five years of early childhood education experience from working in a daycare setting through college and after graduating college. I mainly have experience working with infants and toddlers up to age 3, but I'm comfortable working with children up to age 7. I enjoy helping kids learn and coming up with fun, educational activities to foster healthy development. My background in early childhood education gave me the opportunity to see how different children learn and to create lesson plans and activities that help them to engage with the world around them and to learn through experience, observation, and play. Thanks for taking the time to view my profile!

Reviewed by Eric H. Feb 2021 5/5 stars

Stefani is amazing and I highly recommend her to anyone looking for a dependable, trustworthy, caring, and fun nanny! She started caring for our 9 month old who was going through a sleep regression and learning to crawl (so was a bit fussy) and handled it with ease! Our son absolutely loved her and even cried when she went home at the end of the day and always greeted her with a huge smile when she arrived in the morning. It was evident that she cared about him just as much and that she always had his best interest at heart. She spent the day playing with him, singing with him, taking him for walks, and working on a nap schedule and developmental milestones that were important to us. I trust her completely and her experience with infants was evident. My husband and I both worked from home and she fit in perfectly with our family from day one! We often heard our son giggling with her. We highly recommend Stefanie for your children no matter what age. She will take great care of them!
