Brianna S.
- 10 years paid experience
- 15 miles
Hello! My name is Brianna and here’s a little intro about me. I have been in childcare for 10 years and I have been a nanny and babysitter for 8 years now. I do not babysit or nanny as a side gig, I’m very passionate about childcare and the safety and comfort of children. I myself had to stay in afterschool programs or with crappy sitters for years as a child and I remember what it’s like to miss mom and dad. So of course when you hire a sitter the last thing you want is someone who isn’t friendly and doesn’t make your child feel like their at home. I’m here to correct all of that and encourage your children to be who they are, be happy and have fun.

Availability I ask that all requests are made known 48-72 hour ahead of time. That way I can properly prepare myself, and accommodate the needs and wants for you and your family. I do not drive, I ride public transportation, so I will only commute for 45 minutes to 1 hour. I'm willing to travel a distance if you are willing to discuss Uber or Lyft expenses. I'm available 2-3 days out of a week from 9:00am- 6pm ( I'm willing to work earlier if you are close) and Saturdays from 4:00pm-10:00pm. Bookings/Request A phone interview is required for all requests made. During our phone discussion, I want to know important information regarding your child or children ( Kids names, age, interest, allergies/medications, disciplinary actions, daily routine, etc.). I will also share with you my 11 wonderful years caring for youth from Infancy-School age! I will send my resume and references via email after our phone discussion. Orientation After our phone discussion an orientation is required, please note that through Sittercity anyone can make an account. I've been with them for 7 years and I had my share of scammers. So I ask that we set a day and time for us to meet to get an idea of one another's personality, meeting your child or children, and giving me a tour around your home. Payment I charge 20/hourly and one dollar additional child. The only form of payment I will accept is PayPal or Venmo. I will not accept cash or check, I also expect to be paid once I've finished the sitting and kids are calm enough for the transaction to run smoothly. If you are late there is a sub charge of $25 dollars.

Victory N.
- 10 years paid experience
- 13 miles
Hi! My name is Victory (all my nanny families call me V!) and I'm 26 years old. Since moving to Chicago in 2021, I've made quite a few connections with different families, and I'm hoping that yours is next! In 2022, I graduated from the University of Chicago with a Masters in Sociology, where my research focus was the distinctive needs of children with marginalized identities within the American School System. Formerly, I was a Teacher and SEL (Social Emotional Learning) Specialist at a private school for neurodiverse learners. This means that I know that no two children are the same. I tailor my approach in a way that ensures every child feels like they can thrive exactly the way they are. As a babysitter, my primary goal is to provide a safe and nurturing environment for children to grow and develop as unique individuals. With 10 years of experience in childcare, I have honed my skills in managing the daily needs of children while fostering their emotional, social, and cognitive growth. As a sitter, I take pride in my ability to connect with children on a personal level, creating a bond of trust and respect that allows me to provide the highest level of care. I am skilled in engaging children in age-appropriate activities that promote their development, such as reading, playing games, and encouraging creative expression. I am also dedicated to working collaboratively with parents, ensuring that their child's needs and preferences are always taken into account. Whether it's coordinating schedules, managing meal times, or providing updates on their child's progress, I believe that open communication is essential to providing the best possible care. When I'm not babysitting, I love exploring hidden gems in the city, filling my apartment with massive plants, and spending time catching up with my friends and family! I also genuinely enjoy perfecting my craft and researching the most up-to-date child-rearing techniques and practices. Overall, I am a responsible, caring, and experienced babysitter who is committed to providing a safe and supportive environment for children to thrive. I’m excited to meet your family and make a difference in your child’s life, one day at a time!

hello! my name is silvana i’m 24 years old, i’ve been babysitting for as long as i could remember but started to actually get paid experience at 18. I had mostly gained experience babysitting my cousins and my parents friends kids. A little about myself, i’m a very bubbly person always smiling and laughing. i consider myself very respectful, my parents have taught me amazing manners. I was currently work as a waitress at texas roadhouse so working around people of all age rage and having to interact with hundreds of customers daily, learning to defuse situations come up with solutions and making sure people have a good experience. I love and adorable kids same goes for pets, I have a dog of my own he’s a 8 year old Maltese. The cutest little thing, his name is teddy. I speak english and spanish fluently as well as reading and writing of course. Im very family oriented, my mom is my best friend as well as my 19year old brother, he has my whole heart. We are inseparable I love that little boy to death. Although isn’t so little anymore as he is a new dad with my niece who is 2 months old, who knew being an aunt would bring so much joy in my life. The reason i’m interested in babysitting again after 1 year off is 1. Be around kids again I can’t wait to be a mom myself, being an aunt is already filing that partial role 2. i’m trying to earn money to hopefully go back to school 3. id love to help the parents most important, to get some weight/ stress off their chest.
