Hi all! My name is America (named after a Mexican soccer team haha) and I am excited to provide child care, pet care, and household services. I currently work as a nanny Mon-Fri. I have been with this family for the last three years. I also work as a host at a restaurant on the weekends. I need to be busy! I love to work. I have been babysitting my entire life. I am the eldest daughter and eldest cousin in my family. Due to that luxury, I've taken care of newborns, infants, and toddlers for most of my life. Professionally, I have worked at a daycare as an assistant teacher. I occassionally spent time in the littles classrooms (1-3), though most of my time was spent with the Preschools kids (4+). Currently, I work with a family whose children are older (10+). I am very flexible working with many different ages due to my experience. I've worked with a range of kids with different personalities. I am flexible. I adapt to the child's needs as well as the parents. I am here to work with you and for you. I graduated with a BA in Psychology from NPU. A lot of my course-load was in personality, lifespan development, and behavior. I feel these classes have helped me become a better caregiver. I really love dogs and cats! My roommates and I have a dog and three cats. So much time is spent at home cuddling. I can also provide household services. I worked at a gym for some time and learned how to clean every nook and cranny. I can also run errands, those are typically my favorite because I love marking off lists. Happy to answer any questions you have for me. I am typically available Mon-Fri after my nanny shift (ends at/arouns 6). I am willing to work late into the night and can negotiate hourly fee/overnight fee if needed.
I’m a caring, dependable mother of two with home care experience. I’m patient, attentive, organized, and dedicated to providing children with a safe, nurturing, and happy environment.
Hi! My name is Blessed and I am a current first grade teacher assistant as well as a masters student at Loyola University. I got my undergraduate degrees in Art History and Community Education and adore children. I love being a teacher and have been watching toddlers and kids since I was 15 years old. I am also CPR Certified as well.
Hello! I am Maya! I am currently a sophomore at NEIU (Northeastern Illinois University). Currently I am offering child and animal care. I work at the Child Care Center at my college ! I work with 1-5 years olds. I’m a very caring and loving person. I have experience taking care of many children. I also used to be a lifeguard so I am trained in CPR and first aid! I love to cook and bake many things. I have one dog named Felix. I love to explore around Chicago and go on new adventures. I love doing art crafts as well. I used to be in the art program in my high school. I’m a very goal oriented girl!
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.

"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!"
Hillary S., parent
"We used Tania for a last minute emergency. She responded very quickly. My daughter seemed to enjoy herself. My son napped most of the time. I enjoyed how she kept me updated by text."
Theresa M., parent
