Jennah $16 per hour for 1 child

My name is Jennah! I am very friendly and easygoing. I like to be stern when needed. I enjoy creating schedules for the day, but if there is one in place as well, I am ready to follow it! :) I love working with young children and joining them on exploring their creativity. I love to cook simple meals and incorporating new things for them to try. I can help with all homework up to high school level. I have worked with multiple kids before for several years. I have a car and can perform all household duties/functions if needed! I currently do not have my own cleaning supplies to bring, but I will in a few months. If I am working with pets that require walking, I have worked with large dogs and am good to handle them on walks.

Natalie $19 per hour for 1 child

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.

Amy Jane $20 per hour for 1 child

Hi there, I'm Amy! I am a licensed educator and lover of the outdoors. I'm licensed to teach English Language Arts grades 5-12, but have spent the last school year subbing in classrooms ranging from Pre-K-12th grade. I've nannied and babysat for families in the past with kids of all ages and abilities. My duties as a nanny included transportation to and from school and appointments, snack and meal prep, light house cleaning, arts and crafts, fun outings, dog and cat care, homework help, and nighttime routines. Working in schools every day means learning all kinds of ways to get kids thinking and engaged in meaningful ways. I have lots of patience when it comes to skill-building and activities with kids, and enjoy designing activities, playing games, and getting outdoors. During college I worked for two years in a senior living community with seniors ranging in age (55-100+) and varying ability levels. My duties ranged from nutrition and meal monitoring to caretaking and quality time. I also have 5+ years experience house sitting. I've taken care of landscaping, cleaning, and mail/package pick-up as well as pet and plant care.
