Hello! My name is Talia and I'm currently a sophomore at UIC majoring in Industrial Design. I'm glad to offer child care, senior care, pet care, and household services. I love babysitting and have taken care of my cousins and elderly family for as long as I can remember. I love painting and playing with my younger cousins as well as encouraging them to pursue their passions. My responsibilities included driving to/from school and parks, crafts, tutoring, and even Spanish lessons. I dog walked for over a year and even taught tricks! I've worked as a household/personal assistant before and can cook, clean, organize -- you name it.
I am a very extraverted, fun, loving, caring, welcoming, outgoing, and faith filled mother of 5 children. I have 29 years of experience in taking care of kids. I currently am taking care of a 5 year old boy and have been taking care of him since he was 2. I spend time playing with him, singing with him, making crafts with him, and make sure the time he spends with me is a fun one! I personally potty trained him, and my current responsibilities are to feed, clothe, and bathe him. I have taken him with me to do outdoor activities and can keep a very watchful eye on kids. Before taking care of him I watched two other young boys from a married couple. I kept them very preoccupied with various activities. I was responsible for feeding them breakfast and lunch, as well as making sure to clothe them and making sure they went to the bathroom. Before I left the house I kept it very clean. I have a wide variety of cooking skills which makes it easier on parents to have their kids eat what they would like them to eat. If you're looking for someone to clean your home I am a very thorough cleaner. I am open to watching any small pets since I use to own a Cocker Spaniel Poodle and a cat. I am open to watching anyone that is elderly and perform basic tasks. I am willing to open up my home for watching anyone as well as travel to your home. Whatever is most convenient. If your looking for a mother's touch, that is definitely me.
Reliable, attentive sitter providing calm, high-quality care. Detail-oriented, punctual, and respectful of routines and homes.
Hello! My name is Kevin and I am a newcomer when it comes to nannying. I graduated from DePaul University (2019) with a Bachelors in Communications Studies. I live in Chicago but work in Deerfield. I have also done several dog walks and house sitting on Rover for several years. If I'm not at home, I love to shop or run/work out! The only experience I have with children is as a Sunday school teacher for about a year
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!"
