Hello, I’m Ene. I truly enjoy working with children and have experience caring for kids of different ages. I can help with homework, creative activities, meal preparation, bedtime routines, and keeping children engaged in a safe and positive environment. In addition to childcare, I also provide household support such as light cleaning, organizing, laundry, and running errands. I’m dependable, patient, and responsible. I am also comfortable assisting with senior care, including companionship, meal prep, transportation to appointments, and help with daily tasks.I’m reliable, communicative, and committed to creating a safe and supportive environment for every family I work with.

Ene was great! We hired her for home cleaning and organizing baby clothes. She helped so much!

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!

Michelle $18 per hour for 1 child

Hi! I’m Michelle, a responsible and dependable college student who enjoys working with children. My childcare experience comes from helping care for my younger brother and babysitting for family friends, where I’ve learned the importance of creating a safe, fun, and supportive environment. I graduated as my high school’s valedictorian and am happy to help with homework and learning activities. I’m also involved with Northwestern University’s Supplies for Dreams, an organization that supports Chicago Public Schools through school supply drives, field trips, and one-on-one student mentorship. Whether it’s playing games, reading stories, or sticking to your family’s routine, I’ll make sure your children are well cared for and engaged.
