Hi there! I'm Paula, a 29-year-old with over 10 years of experience caring for children of all ages. From looking after my own younger brother to working in a kindergarten back home, my love for children has always been a driving force in my life. I used to be an Au Pair for a lovely family, taking care of 3 kids during 4 years. And currently, I'm happily taking care to two wonderful boys aged 3 and 1. I've been with them since they were 3 months old and newborn respectively, ensuring their well-being and happiness every step of the way. Being around children brings me joy, and I believe that there's always something new to learn from them. I approach childcare with love and dedication, making sure that your little ones are safe and happy under my care -CPR and First Aid certified - Responsible, punctual - Multitasking - Comfortable with pets - Spanish speaker - Usually work without supervision - Experience with food allergies - Own transportation
Hi! My name is Ally and I'm a School Social Worker at an elementary school. I work primarily with students who are PreK-2nd grade. I am offering child care and pet care. I love spending time with kids and have been babysitting various ages since I was 15 years old. I enjoy doing anything (games, crafts, helping with homework, driving to activities, etc)! I am CPR certified and have taken many courses for my career related to social emotional skills and regulation. I have also watched both pets since I was 13 years old. I love dogs and cats, and am comfortable with any breed or size. I have a German Shepherd, so I’m also used to hair :)
Hi! I am a college student majoring in Accounting at the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign. I have been a swim instructor for kids under the age of 12 for a year and I have tutored children how to play piano for 2-3 years. I am very social, patient and fun and have loved my teaching jobs and would like to move onto babysitting kids and taking care of pets as well! I love arts and crafts, games, fun activities, teaching, animals and walks! I am also a fluent Spanish speaker and an intermediate German speaker. My mom has been a full time nanny for 15 years and I have learned a lot on how to be an excellent babysitter!
