Michelle alexandra $20 per hour for 1 child

Hi! I’m Michelle, a nursing student currently completing my prerequisites with the goal of becoming a registered nurse. My background in healthcare and education has given me a strong foundation in safety, responsibility, and caring for others. I’m also CNA-trained and certified in CPR/BLS. I have several years of experience working with children of different ages. I previously worked as a support teacher with first-grade students, including children with neurodivergent needs, and as a camp counselor with young children. I also have experience caring for toddlers and creating age-appropriate activities such as crafts, baking, games, and outdoor play. I’m comfortable following routines, preparing simple meals, helping with bedtime, and keeping children engaged in a safe and positive environment. I love caregiving because I enjoy being someone children can feel comfortable and safe around while also helping them learn, explore, and become more independent. I’m patient, attentive, and dependable, and I understand how important it is for parents to have someone they can trust. A little about me: I’m originally from Mexico and speak both English and Spanish. I recently moved to Chicago and love exploring the city, trying new foods, crocheting, baking, and spending time outdoors. I’m currently balancing school with childcare work, so I’m especially interested in part-time and recurring opportunities that fit around my class schedule.

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!
