Hello! My name is Joanna ! I am 28 years old with a bachelors degree in Early Childhood Education.

Hi my name is Keisha I’m 26 years old I have 7 years experience in babysitting and nannying exclusively. I have worked for infants as young as 4 months old and children as old as 12 years old. I’m very passionate in working with children and infants I feel it is important to have positive role models to influence children’s behavior in a positive way and I really strive to be that positive role model. I don’t mind cleaning or doing light housework. Looking for something long term.

Keisha was absolutely fantastic and my two boys loved her!! We will definitely ask her to babysit again.

Booked by 3 families in New Lenox, IL

I am a mother to three beautiful girls ages 13, 22, and 26. I also have an adorable 1.5 yr old grandson whom I spend a lot of time with. I have been working as a caregiver for seniors for the past two years. I love working with and helping people of all ages. I practice patience, kindness, and love in everything I do ❤️ I provide care for a senior on Mondays and Fridays, so my availability is limited to Tuesdays, Wednesdays, and Thursdays. I am currently booked with a family through May, but will be available to additional families beginning in June.

100/10! I wish we could have Suzanne here everyday! She is so attentive with the kids, and comes ready with activities to keep them engaged for the day! They are already asking for Miss Suzanne to come over 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!"
