Babysitters in Cook County, IL

Hi- I’m a 21 year old college student with over 5 years total of babysitting experience. I have many younger siblings and cousins and started to take care of them from a young age. Throughout my life I’ve volunteered at vacation bible schools on the north side of Chicago. I’ve lived in Chicago my whole life and know the city and the transportation systems well. I love providing fun educational activities and making sure children have a safe environment to grow in.

I am now an empty nester and I am realizing how deafening the sound of “quiet" really is. I am a mother to 3 exceptional young adults, who are all succeeding in college. They are loving, empathetic, confident, self-sufficient, and engaging. However, I am missing sounds of the pitter patter of feet, the daily interactions, the giggles, dinners together, weekend brunches, the late night bake offs, helping with homework, driving and watching/supporting after school sports events, the sound of the TV from watching various movies/ shows, and the list goes on! Because of all the extra time I have now, I thought I would break the silence and post my skills, talents, and my hours in hopes to make myself useful to another family. I am a very hands on person, adventurous, I am extremely patient, I love to do activities together, and I can take good direction. Not only am I great mother, but also I am an excellent nurse with 20+ years of experience. I am ACLS/BLS certified. I have worked in both the clinical arena, as well as in the academia setting; having taught Maternal Child, Medical/Surgical, and Community Nursing with an emphasis on Home Health & Hospice in a baccalaureate program. I am ready for anything and I am comfortable with any age level. I have done a ton of babysitting when I was younger and was even a nanny, while I was in my undergrad. I have a clean driving record and an unencumbered nursing license. I do work full-time as a nurse, Monday through Fridays and I am usually finished around 3:00-3:15pm. I am flexible after work, in the evenings during the week, and totally available on the weekends!

Hi! My name is Theo and I'm an artist with a passion for working with kids. I first discovered this passion as a swim instructor. I began regularly babysitting and nannying for some of my students and have loved it ever since! Most of my students and families were infants and toddlers, but I also had a handful of elementary and middle school kiddos. I'm an upbeat and energetic person that loves to keep life playful. My favorite thing about working with kids is watching them learn and understand the world around them. I would love to support you and your family in creating a fun and safe space where your kids can grow into the best versions of themselves!
