A little bit about me

Hi families! I’m Brooklynn, a senior at Glenbrook North High School and future Tulane University student. I have years of babysitting experience and have also worked with children and individuals with special needs. I’m patient, attentive, and love building meaningful connections with kids.

As a member of the Poms dance team and Student Board, I bring lots of energy, creativity, and responsibility to everything I do. I love planning fun activities — whether it’s crafts, baking, outdoor games, or dance parties!

When I’m not babysitting, I enjoy sewing, cooking, working out, and spending time with friends and family. I strive to create a safe, supportive, and fun environment where kids feel comfortable and excited to learn and play.

A little bit about me

Hi! My name is Sara, and I’m a sophomore at the University of Illinois Urbana-Champaign, majoring in Interdisciplinary Health Sciences. I’m offering childcare and can also help with light household tasks.

I have experience caring for children of different ages, from pre-K to middle school. I’ve worked in settings where I supervised kids, led activities, and helped create a fun, safe, and supportive environment. I’m patient, dependable, and always try to make sure kids feel comfortable and engaged.

I’m happy to help with everyday things like tidying up, running errands, or keeping kids on a routine. While my main focus is childcare, I can occasionally help with homework or provide extra support if needed.

I’m fluent in English and Farsi, speak some Spanish, and enjoy building positive, trusting relationships with both kids and families.

Hi! I'm Christine. I have been working as a nanny for about 3 years and have been babysitting/working with children since I was 13 years old.

I have experience in all age groups under 15 years old. I am a firm believer in the importance of incorporating learning into play time through games and crafts. Depending on the child's age I do try to come prepared with engaging and fun activities!

I have just recently relocated to the Lincoln Park/Wrigleyville area and am excited to create new networks around the Chicago area!
