Hello! My name is Lauren and I am a graduate student at Northwestern offering child care and household services. I’m currently studying to be come a physician assistant so I have an ever changing but flexible schedule until graduation — and a lot more availability post grad! I grew up babysitting family friends and neighbors starting as a teenager, and I have watched a variety of ages from around 3/4 to 12 years old! My prior responsibilities have included household errands, dropping off/picking up at school, and tutoring. I’m also comfortable cleaning and running any errands if need be. I have no allergies and love animals, so I’m happy to work with families who have pets of any kind!
Hi families, My name is Briana and I now live in Oak Park, IL! I have two years of experience working with ages 0-5 years in a daycare setting, and am looking to work intimately with a family in a babysitter/nannying role! I love to clean, organize, wash/fold laundry (no, seriously) and bake! I am very hands on and love to serve in any way I can. I believe that in any work setting, we are there to make your life easier so I would love to help out with these things if needed :) What makes me a great caregiver is that I always desire to be excellent in anything I am given. So that means asking questions, taking initiative and jumping in, finding ways to help out with the children or around the house, etc. I believe a great worker is a worker that never gives up!
Hello! My name is Morgan, and I am 25 years old and live in the Old Town area. I will soon be moving to Logan Square. I am a law student in my third year of school, and looking for a part time/occasional position! I have experience with kids aged 4-12. I love kids, and plan to pursue a career in child protection law. I can make meals, help with homework, and love arts and crafts! I have a car, and am able to drive the kids around locally. I also love animals, and would be comfortable in a home with animals/helping with animal care.
Hi! My name is becca and I am a 23 year incoming first year medical student. I have been babysitting since I was 10, starting with my youngest brother being born, and continued watching toddlers and school aged children throughout high school and college over weekends and summers. I love engaging in games and crafts, and can help out with meals and clean up. I myself have a 2 year old French bulldog, giving me much experience and care in high maintenance dogs. Before starting medical school, I have had jobs as a Certified Nurse Assistant on a cardiology and observation floor, college biology and chemistry tutor, clinical volunteer for senior patients, and participated in clinical research with a focus on pregnancy. Currently I am a medical assistant at a dermatology clinic.

"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!"
