Hi everyone! My name is Jacqueline but you can call me Jacqui. I am a student at DePaul University located in Lincoln Park, Chicago. I am offering childcare, Pet Care, and household services. I have been babysitting/pet sitting for over 6 years for infants, toddlers, children, and pets since I was 14! I love being able to work with children and help parents with their day-to-day lives! I am CPR AND FIRST AID CERTIFIED! Some of my responsibilities have included help with homework, crafts, reading, helping with nighttime routines, a driving to and from wherever needed be. I do not have a car with me but I do have a license and clean driving record so if a vehicle is provided I would definitely be able to help more. Some household tasks I would help with is cleaning, cooking, and running errands if needed. I have been taking care of pets my entire life including large/small dogs, cats, birds, and reptiles. I would be happy to help families that need any of these services and look forward to meeting with you!
Hi! My name is Jessica and I’m a Board Certified Behavior Analyst that specializes in kids with autism. As I transition into a remote role, I’d love to continue spending some of my free time doing what I’ve always enjoyed—working with children and supporting families. Let’s connect!
Hi! My name is Hana and I recently moved to the Lincoln Park area for my job as a data analyst downtown, post my graduation from UW-Madison in May 2024. I am looking for some occasional or part time babysitting gigs, as I absolutely love working with and spending time with children and would like to spend more of my free time doing so. I have experience babysitting infants all the way up to 15 year olds, and have been babysitting since my freshman year of high school (about 9 years). I also have my CPR certification and my own car here! Please reach out with any other questions!

"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!"
