Nadiia $19 per hour for 1 child

Hi! My name is Nadiia and I am a mom of a 5-year-old boy. I have real experience taking care of children every day as a parent, and I understand how important it is to keep kids safe, happy, and busy. In the past, I also helped take care of my grandmother, so I am very patient and responsible. I love animals, so pets are never a problem. I am looking for part-time morning jobs where I can help families with babysitting, light play, meals, or just making sure your child feels comfortable and cared for. Parents describe me as kind, caring, and reliable. I would be happy to meet your family!

Ligia $35 per hour for 1 child

Coming from a family with 6 children, and me bring the second oldest I’m already familiar with lots of children around me. Also I am a mother myself now and that also makes me love being around children too. I used to work as a babysitter for some lovely families. Now I have a part time office job, very flexible and u could use some extra work.

Natalie $19 per hour for 1 child

Hi! I’m a student at the University of Illinois Urbana-Champaign with experience in both childcare and pet care. I’ve been tutoring and babysitting since my freshman year of high school and have worked with youth programs, where I learned to create a safe, structured, and engaging environment for kids. I also have experience caring for pets and enjoy providing reliable care including walks, feeding, playtime, and companionship while maintaining their routines. I’m responsible, patient, and easy to communicate with, and I take pride in being dependable and attentive. With a background in lifeguarding, also serving in the national guard, I’m very safety-focused and calm in any situation. My goal is to give families peace of mind knowing their children and pets are well cared for.

"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!"
