Hi! My name is Jawariya, but you can call me J. I’m a 28-year-old marketing professional with 11 years of hands-on babysitting experience. I’ve cared for children of all ages, from infants to pre-teens, and have worked with families both regularly and on an as-needed basis for evenings, weekends, and special occasions. My background includes years of consistent babysitting, as well as early experience through high school and college. I’m confident in my ability to multitask, keep children engaged, and maintain a safe, nurturing environment. Fun fact- I was in nursing school for 3 years and made a career change to marketing during COVID! I’m reliable, flexible with scheduling, and happy to provide references upon request. Feel free to reach out with any questions.

I am a 31 year old working and living in chicago. I enjoy being around children; their creativity and curiosity inspire me! Being the oldest of four siblings I understand the concern parents have for quality child care. I can offer transportation to or from school and activities. I am also happy to help with homework and prepare a meal. I am also cpr certified. I look forward to meeting you and your children!

Liana $20 per hour for 1 child

Hi! I am a current MBA student at Northwestern Kellogg looking to make some extra money while in school. I'm originally from California and, prior to Kellogg, was working as a clinical researcher at Stanford for over 8 years running clinical trials for Type 1 diabetes technology. My working role involves working with children of all ages (as young as 3 and up) in a healthcare setting, requiring 24/7 oversight for safety. Much of the research I do involve multi-day studies to oversee how new medical devices perform; I’m essentially serving as a babysitter and creating/overseeing activities to do (it’s hard to explain, but I’m more than happy to do so if you’d like more details about what this means!). I have my BS in human development from UC Davis. Aside from my current role, I have multiple years of experience working with children during college in classroom settings, through various baby sitting gigs, and even teaching piano. I love puzzles, baking, playing with my pup (and generally all dogs), and being outside and active as much as possible! I most recently spent a quarter abroad in Australia and was fortunate enough to complete a few multi day backpacking trips around Australia and New Zealand I love being creative and am happy to do arts and crafts and supervised baking projects with your child! I have been CPR/First Aid trained and certified multiple times in the past (including toddler/infant) for my job, though that has since expired. That said, I am confident in my abilities to address emergency situations from my past trainings.

"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!"
