Hi! I’m Timiah, and I have over 10 years of experience working with children. I’ve cared for infants, toddlers, preschoolers, and school-aged children in both classroom settings and one-on-one care. Throughout my career, I’ve focused on creating a safe, loving, and fun environment where children can learn, explore, and feel comfortable being themselves. Working with children has always been my passion. I love watching them reach new milestones, build confidence, and discover the world around them. Whether we’re reading books, doing crafts, playing outside, or working on early learning activities, I enjoy making every day meaningful and fun. I’m also a proud mom of four, so I understand how important it is to find someone you can trust with your children. I know firsthand that parents want someone who is dependable, patient, and caring, and that’s exactly what I strive to be. After spending many years working in childcare centers, I’ve decided to work independently so I can give families more personalized care and build lasting relationships with the children I care for. My goal is to become someone your children look forward to seeing and someone you can feel completely confident leaving them with. I would love the opportunity to support your family and provide a safe, nurturing, and engaging environment where your little ones can thrive.

I have 2 years of nannying experience. I have cared for kids ages 5 months to 9 years old. My responsibilities nannying have included transportation, cleaning, cooking, and helping with homework. With nannying I have found a love for encouraging playing, learning, and exploring curiosity. My primary experience working with kids comes from coaching gymnastics. I have coached gymnastics for over 6 years and I have coached gymnasts from ages 2 to 18. Through coaching I have gained experience with dealing with injuries, discipline, and comforting kids. In addition, volunteered at a program for at risk youth for over 3 years. This has given me a lot of experience with working with teens, substance abuse, and de-escalation. I also have experience with working with special needs kids. I have spent time babysitting kids with Down’s syndrome and Williams syndrome. In addition, I have grown up with dogs so I have a lot of experience with walking them, feeding them and picking up after them. I have also lived with various animals so I am well versed in taking care of them as well. As far as personality traits, I would consider myself to be a hard worker who is passionate about helping others. I love working with kids and Helping them have fun and grow as human beings.

Hi! My name’s Izzy and this is my first time using an app to be a caregiver! I am a Registered Nurse with Swedish Medical and have been nursing for over 5 years. I work primarily with the geriatric population and am ACLS/CPR certified, but completed a semester of pediatric nursing and did have my PALS certification (now expired). Growing up I babysat intermittently for over a decade (2 y.o. to 12 y.o.), ran summer camps through my local church (school age children), and nannied (3 y.o. and 6 y.o.) for two summers. I am comfortable around all animals and have always owned a dog, am knowledgeable in caring for them, as well as administering medications to them if needed. I do work full time as a nurse three days a week, but am looking to make a little extra spending money for an upcoming vacation. Please let me know if you have any questions! I would love to get to know you and your family!

Hello! My name is Karen and don't worry I am a nice Karen . I am originally from Indiana but needed a change after retiring from teaching and moved here to continue working for Levy Restaurants and enjoy living by Lake Michigan . After college, I was a live in nanny for 2 families. The first family lived in New York city, and the second family lived in Hollywood, California. The last 30 years I have dedicated myself to teaching children. First, I was an Assistant Director of a child care center that was located in High School for staff and teen parents for 5 years, Next, I was a Developmental Therapist and did home visits for children birth to age 3 who had developmental delays and did parent education as well for 6 years. Then, I taught Kindergarten for 17 years and retired on May 27, 2021. Lastly, I have worked at Notre Dame University for the past 9 years and Wrigley field for 4 years which helped supplement my teaching income while my 2 boys were in college. I enjoy spending time with my 3 year old grandson and bringing him to the city to enjoy all of the playgrounds , museums , and bookstores . I am a big believer in children learning through play, reading to kids, and encouraging children to love the outdoors . I do go back to Indiana to visit my grandson and work at Notre Dame often so just looking for part time jobs . I am happy to do some cleaning and walking dogs too . Though, I am allergic to cats so I will have to pass if you have a cat. Thank you, Karen

I like to describe myself as a caring person who’s always connected well with kids. I have experience babysitting infants and school-aged children where I’ve helped them work on crafts, homework, gone on walks, playtime, and creating a fun, safe environment. I’ve also cared for pets for several years, including cat sitting and caring for my own two dogs; I’m very comfortable helping with feeding, walks, playtime, and general pet care. I’m organized, responsible, and happy to assist with light housekeeping, errands, and keeping things running smoothly around the house. I enjoy helping others, staying positive, and making sure both children and families feel comfortable, supported, and cared for.
