Hana $20 per hour for 1 child

Hi! My name is Hana and I recently moved to the Lincoln Park area for my job as a data analyst downtown, post my graduation from UW-Madison in May 2024. I am looking for some occasional or part time babysitting gigs, as I absolutely love working with and spending time with children and would like to spend more of my free time doing so. I have experience babysitting infants all the way up to 15 year olds, and have been babysitting since my freshman year of high school (about 9 years). I also have my CPR certification and my own car here! Please reach out with any other questions!

Hello! My name is Olivia. I am a 30 year old Special Education teacher. I am looking for a family who needs an occasional sitter on evenings, weekends or in the summer (date night, last minute, etc).

"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!"
