Hiiiii! My name is Francisca. I love kids and babysitting, I tend to have a lot of patience with kids and my love kids and taking care of them is something that I find natural and easy to do I’ve been babysitting since I was 10 years old. I took care of my younger siblings when my parents went to work and basically I was their mom because my parents were very busy. My responsibilities, I can bath kids, help with assignments and even dance lessons. I also work as a household assistant and can cook, clean, and run errands. I have been a caretaker for my own dad. I can cook, I have a car and a valid driver’s license. I have a cat and I’ll be happy to work with families with dogs and cats.
“Genuinely a kind person at heart. Love the kids and came with her own toys to entertain the kids. Spent quality time with the kids by drawing, coloring, painting and resorting to screen time last. I recommend her to any family! ”

Hello! My name is Joanna ! I am 28 years old with a bachelors degree in Early Childhood Education. I have been babysitting since I was about 13 years old for teachers from my elementary school to my high school teachers. I have always been interested in children which is why I persuaded my degree and currently a second grade teacher within CPS! I love spending time with children and seeing them smile! Making them smile and me being the reason makes me happy.
Growing up my grandma owned a daycare and I would help her take care of kids and plan arts and crafts time for them. I also have recent experience over the past 2 summers of working at a stay away camp looking over multiple different age groups of kids over the age of 6 full time. After my first summer I was promoted to leader of my cabin group and have learned to keep things together, better my communication, and still keep kids happy! Pets wise, I have 3 cats and a dog so I know how to manage!
Hi, I'm Marci! I bring nurture, patience, reliability, and a fun-loving demeanor. I enjoy going for walks, organizational projects, spending time with family, and exploring the city. I welcome collaboration, open communication, and friendly demeanors of all. I nanny part-time during the day. I help foster environments and routines for children and families. My favorite part of the job is building connections with the children. I've cared for children from infant to preteen, however my care of focus has centered around children age 2 and younger. My experience is in elementary education, tutoring/homework help, private care, and live-out nanny. I create and foster consistent routines of learning and development through age-appropriate activities. Parents choose me as I’m direct in approach, proactive in planning, and prepared to jump in for a smooth transition for everyone. Children thrive in my care because I am attentive, patient, consistent, and use firm, but gentle boundaries. Safety is my focus. Spaces used are maintained. References available at request.
“Marci helped us out when we needed childcare last minute. We traveled into town and both myself and my husband needed to work which is tough with a highly active jet lagged baby. Marci was lovely she even had a few of her own things to amuse our son. She was great about communication and safety. I would 100% book her again. ”

"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!"
