Booked by 1 family in Alden, IL

I am a sophomore in college at Case Western Reserve University in Cleveland, Ohio. I have years of experience working with all ages. My younger sister is 13 years my junior and I have cared for her since she was born. I was a youth leader with the Neighborhood Boys and Girls Clubs in Chicago and a camp counselor and daycare worker with JCYS. I have been a full time summer nanny for a family with two children under the ages of 6 for the past two years. I have babysit for around 20 families throughout my babysitting career! I am looking for babysitting jobs in Cleveland during the school year and Chicago during Holidays and summers.

Ava is a wonderful babysitter. She kept my daughter active, having fun and learning while doing things! My daughter LOVES Ava and gets so excited when she is babysitting. I recommend Ava without hesitation. You and your kiddos will love her.

I am a nanny with 15 years experience in childcare. I value open communication between myself as the caregiver and parents to best meet and support children's changing needs. I have most recently worked with infants and toddlers and I am knowledgeable of developmental milestones and engaging play. I have also worked with preschool and school age children as a babysitter, swim instructor and dance instructor. I am a patient, mindful and creative person who loves to be active and outdoors with children of all ages and foster a safe, loving and engaging environment. I am CPR/First Aid certified and have references available. *** haven’t been able to change my availability but available for date nights :) **** Friday & Saturday nights :) *** also available during the day for the next month!! M (anytime) T (afternoon/evening) W (anytime) F (afternoon/evening)

Maura was amazing today with our 10 month old baby! He is going through stranger anxiety, separation anxiety, teething, AND wasn't feeling the best today, and despite all of that, he really enjoyed spending time with Maura and felt comfortable almost immediately. That almost never happens! Maura was so sweet with him, kept him engaged and happy, and even loaded/unloaded our dishwasher & straightened up during his nap and before leaving for the day. He had a really fun day! We are very excited to have Maura back as our regular part-time nanny and sitter!

"We were incredibly grateful that Maya was able to help us out with a last-minute childcare emergency. She matched our 9-year-old's energy with arts & crafts, some quiet reading, and a walk around the neighborhood. We'd have Maya back in a heartbeat!"
