I am a current grad student at UIC in the physical therapy program! I’ve completed my bachelor’s degree in Exercise Science at Illinois State University in May 2024.

I also worked as a rehab tech at Shirley Ryan AbilityLab Pediatric Outpatient clinic in Glenview, IL from May 2024-July 2025. I have a passion for helping and caring for people in any capacity.

Isabella $19 per hour for 1 child

Hii my names Isabella ! I’m a 20 year old currently studying Biology with a focus on Genetics. I’m in my final year and excited to be just one year away from earning my bachelor’s degree. I’ve always been passionate about science and the way it helps us understand life on a deeper level, especially in the field of genetics. I’ve also always had a natural connection with kids I love spending time with them, learning from their curiosity, and helping them grow. Growing up, my family worked in household roles like housekeeping and house management, and they often took me along. So from a young age, I got to see what it means to be responsible, organized, and attentive to others’ needs. That experience really shaped the way I carry myself today. Outside of school and work, I love being outdoors, trying new foods, and finding little adventures around the city. Whether it’s going to a street market, spending time with family, or just relaxing with a good movie, I like to stay balanced and appreciate the small things in life.

Hello, my name is Monica. I am a caring, dependable, and experienced caregiver offering child care, senior/adult care, pet care, and household assistance.

As a nanny, my responsibilities have included: * Caring for infants and young children throughout the day * Preparing snacks and simple meals * Helping with nap and bedtime routines * School drop-off and pick-up * Driving children to activities, appointments, and outings * Library trips, playground visits, and other fun adventures * Arts and crafts, games, reading, and imaginative play * Helping with homework * Keeping children’s play areas and belongings tidy * Providing plenty of patience, encouragement, and positive attention I also have senior/adult caregiving experience and have appreciation for the importance of compassionate, respectful care. I’m happy to assist with companionship, light household tasks, errands, meal preparation, transportation, and other day-to-day support as needed. I’ve been providing petsitting services for around 15 years and absolutely love animals! I’m comfortable caring for dogs, cats, and other types of animals. I follow feeding schedules, provide walks and playtime, give lots of pets (if they want them), and maintain their usual routines. I am CPR and First Aid certified.

Freddie $18 per hour for 1 child

I am currently a freshman at Elmhurst University in Illinois, and play for the volleyball team. I am studying marketing. I grew up in Las Vegas and attend Bishop Gorman High School. I come to Vegas during school breaks and work there as well as in Elmhurst. My older sister has two kids that I have been helping with since I was 11. They are now the ages of 7 and 1. I drive now so I take them to their extracurricular activities and entertain them with fun activities including crocheting, knitting, painting, coloring, playing outside, as well as cooking. I am super comfortable helping with running errands and cleaning around the house. I have 2 cats and 3 dogs so working with animals is no problem! I love playing with animals as well as taking them out for walks!

"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!"
