I am a current grad student at UIC in the physical therapy program! I’ve completed my bachelor’s degree in Exercise Science at Illinois State University in May 2024. I worked as a caregiver for 2 summers in a row during my undergrad at a memory care assisted living facility in Elmhurst, IL. I also worked as a rehab tech at Shirley Ryan AbilityLab Pediatric Outpatient clinic in Glenview, IL from May 2024-July 2025. I have a passion for helping and caring for people in any capacity.

Margarita $20 per hour for 1 child
I am a very extraverted, fun, loving, caring, welcoming, outgoing, and faith filled mother of 5 children. I have 29 years of experience in taking care of kids. I currently am taking care of a 5 year old boy and have been taking care of him since he was 2. I spend time playing with him, singing with him, making crafts with him, and make sure the time he spends with me is a fun one! I personally potty trained him, and my current responsibilities are to feed, clothe, and bathe him. I have taken him with me to do outdoor activities and can keep a very watchful eye on kids. Before taking care of him I watched two other young boys from a married couple. I kept them very preoccupied with various activities. I was responsible for feeding them breakfast and lunch, as well as making sure to clothe them and making sure they went to the bathroom. Before I left the house I kept it very clean. I have a wide variety of cooking skills which makes it easier on parents to have their kids eat what they would like them to eat. If you're looking for someone to clean your home I am a very thorough cleaner. I am open to watching any small pets since I use to own a Cocker Spaniel Poodle and a cat. I am open to watching anyone that is elderly and perform basic tasks. I am willing to open up my home for watching anyone as well as travel to your home. Whatever is most convenient. If your looking for a mother's touch, that is definitely me.
Freddie $18 per hour for 1 child
I am currently a freshman at Elmhurst University in Illinois, and play for the volleyball team. I am studying marketing. I grew up in Las Vegas and attend Bishop Gorman High School. I come to Vegas during school breaks and work there as well as in Elmhurst. My older sister has two kids that I have been helping with since I was 11. They are now the ages of 7 and 1. I drive now so I take them to their extracurricular activities and entertain them with fun activities including crocheting, knitting, painting, coloring, playing outside, as well as cooking. I am super comfortable helping with running errands and cleaning around the house. I have 2 cats and 3 dogs so working with animals is no problem! I love playing with animals as well as taking them out for walks!

Booked by 1 family in Itasca, IL
Hi, I'm Brooklyn! I am a junior at the University of Kentucky studying Clinical Leadership and Management, and I am back in the Chicago suburbs for the summer. Those who know me would describe me as responsible, friendly, and hard working. I love working with kids because I enjoy watching them learn and grow, and providing a nurturing space for them to do so. I am fulfilled by helping others, and when I see that a child is happy, it makes me happy. I am also an animal lover and am more than willing to help out with your furry friends! I'm looking for a job that offers flexible hours and a comfortable environment. In addition to caring for children and pets, I am also willing to help with minor household duties and provide transportation. I have had experience with children of all ages since I was about 13, but growing up as an older sister, I have had the opportunity to care for children nearly my whole life and find it incredibly rewarding. I look forward to helping your family in any way that I can!
“Brooklyn is great with our daughter. We’ve loved having her watch our daughter. She is warm, dependable, and completely engaged—our daughter looks forward to every visit. Brooklyn is great with routines, playtime, and communication, and we always feel at ease knowing she’s in good hands. Highly recommend!”
