Asia
Hi! My name is Asia, and I’m an experienced and dependable babysitter who genuinely enjoys working with children. While attending college in Atlanta, I gained experience caring for children with different personalities, ages, and needs, including children who are nonverbal. I’m patient, attentive, and always make sure children feel safe, comfortable, and cared for while in my care. Now that I’m back in Chicago, I’m looking to connect with local families who need part-time or one-time babysitting. Whether you need care for a few hours, a date night, an event, or occasional help throughout the week, I’m happy to help. I’m responsible, caring, and committed to creating a safe, fun, and positive environment for every child I care for.

Stacy
Hi, I'm Stacy and I love to care for children. I’m new to Sittercity, but NOT new to caring for children. I have more than 5 years experience as a teacher and also more than 10 years experience as a professional Nanny. I’m CPR certified and first aid trained, and I have cared for newborns on up to high school aged kiddos and I have loved it all! Additionally, I have 2 degrees in Education. What else ? I know how to cook and do meal preparation, my vaccinations are current and I’m comfortable with pets. I'm a native English speaker and I know Spanish as well. I love teaching children the Spanish words for animals and shapes and colors and numbers and everyday items. I have worked with children of all ages and I have loved it all. Additionally, I can pass a background check, I have my own car and I have a clean driving record. I am comfortable with pets and I do not smoke. ++Please note that I do not provide my references to a potential family until you and I are very sure that we're a match. (sorry to be harsh but I can not burn out my references from getting calls from families that aren't very serious about hiring me. I'm sure you understand this). I like to start with one or two short interviews and if we feel that we be match, then perhaps a few working interviews, during which, we can see in real time,if we are a fit.
