Hello! I’m an outgoing childcare expert who taught global policy to middle school and high school students for six years. In this role, I received ongoing training in childhood education and development. Currently I am working on writing and publishing a memoir. I’m a graduate of Northwestern University, where I majored in Economics and Political Science, and last year I completed my masters in Political Sociology at the London School of Economics and Political Science. I come from a large family, and I enjoy working with children. My childcare experience includes infants through high school age. I have also tutored extensively on many levels, including grade school math, high school English, and college economics. For fun I like to cook and play Ultimate Frisbee. Thank you for your consideration, and I hope to meet some of you soon. :)

Olyvia was absolutely amazing! From the moment she walked in, my kids gravitated to her immediately. I honestly expected them to be a little standoffish since she was a new face, but they were comfortable with her right away and stayed by her side the entire evening. She kept them engaged, was incredibly kind, patient, and accommodating, and made us feel completely at ease while we were out. The biggest sign of how great she was? My 2-year-old actually cried when it was time for Olyvia to leave! That alone speaks volumes about the connection she built with my kids in just one evening. I would absolutely book Olyvia again and highly recommend her to any family looking for a trustworthy, caring, and engaging sitter. She exceeded every expectation we had!

Hi my name is Keisha I’m 26 years old I have 7 years experience in babysitting and nannying exclusively. I have worked for infants as young as 4 months old and children as old as 12 years old. I’m very passionate in working with children and infants I feel it is important to have positive role models to influence children’s behavior in a positive way and I really strive to be that positive role model. I don’t mind cleaning or doing light housework. Looking for something long term.

Keisha was absolutely fantastic and my two boys loved her!! We will definitely ask her to babysit again.

I am a mother to three beautiful girls ages 13, 22, and 26. I also have an adorable 1.5 yr old grandson whom I spend a lot of time with. I have been working as a caregiver for seniors for the past two years. I love working with and helping people of all ages. I practice patience, kindness, and love in everything I do ❤️ I provide care for a senior on Mondays and Fridays, so my availability is limited to Tuesdays, Wednesdays, and Thursdays. I am currently booked with a family through May, but will be available to additional families beginning in June.

Suzanne is thoughtful and comes with a plan for the day . She is organized and it’s been a joy to work with her
