Chicago baby sitter services?

I'm a Houston nestie coming into town for a no kids wedding next weekend and our baby sitter lead just fell through.  Does anyone know of a good sitter service?  I'd prefer one that does background checks and screens their sitters since I don't have a personal recommendation from someone I know.  Thanks!

Re: Chicago baby sitter services?

  • sittercity.com is a good place to go--you can meet and screen your sitter before you hire them. It's the only service I know of.

    What hotel are you staying at? They might have references or be able to give you a recommendation based on where they're located.

  • Call Adrienne at Village Nannies.  (847) 256-6162

    I used to babysit through her service quite a bit in the past.  She requires criminal background checks and references for all of her babysitters.  She can send a babysitter to hotels or anywhere else near the city.

  • I second sittercity.com. ?I used to be a nanny and found jobs through there. ?They do have a pretty extensive profile and have background checks and stuff, but be prepared to sort through probably some crappy apps. ?Also, you may need to pay to get access to the sitters' contact info. ?I would totally offer to do it if I didn't have company in town!
