Hi! My name is Zoey and I'm 18 years old. I'm a freshman in college looking for extra jobs to pick up and I figured babysitting would be the best for me! I currently have a job already but I am trying to get my first car and the hours there just isn't enough so I feel like babysitting could make me extra money while do something I like! I do have more experience with pets specifically dogs than people but I have babysat children in the past and it was something I enjoyed doing so I think this is a good fit. I have one dog now and she is a Presa Canaria and I love and cherish her very much. I did have a Maltese poo but he just recently passed at 14 years old so I've had him since I was little. I went to high school at Whitney Young here in Chicago and my current career path is to become an aesthetic nurse practitioner to eventually open my own medspa. I think that I like caregiving because I'm a very patient and humble person already, a lot of people I know describes me to be laid back but observant of my surroundings which I think is important when it comes to kids or pets because anything can happen in a very short amount of time with them whether is big or small so you just have to be sure to pay attention but keep a calm spirit because I've learned that when you're not calm they also aren't. Overall, I'm looking forward to start this position of caregiving!
Hello! My name is Julia and I am so excited to help you care for your little ones. I specialize in newborns and I am currently a registered nurse in the NICU. I have experience as a nurse in Labor & Delivery, specializing in postpartum care for mom and baby. I can help with many of your postpartum needs for you and your newborn. I am certified in CPR and Neonatal Resuscitation, and I am trained in developmentally appropriate care for infants. I am looking for part time hours on my off days with families with a newborn who are immediately postpartum, on parental leave, or getting ready to return to work after maternity/parental leave. I can also help families with a stay-at-home parent to watch baby while they run errands or need a self-care day. I can help with feedings, diaper changes, sleep schedules, laundry, cleaning bottles/pump parts, and bathing baby. I support breastfeeding and am comfortable bringing baby to mom for feedings. I have 5 years of total experience as a nanny with children of all ages, from 3mos - 10yrs. I have been a occasional babysitter, mother's helper, and summer nanny. I am great with kids of all ages! *While I am a registered nurse, I cannot offer medical care for you or your family members. I CAN offer an unmatched sense of security and safety for you, your baby, and your other children.

I truly enjoy building meaningful relationships with families and being someone they can count on. I'm also comfortable around pets and happy to assist with their care if needed. I look forward to connecting with you and providing the best care possible for your family!

It would be my pleasure to have an opportunity to speak with you/ & meet w/ your family, vía a video call, or, in person. Thank you in advance! JC
