Hello, I am currently in college and pursuing a degree in teaching. I absolutely love working with kids and have had lots of experience. I am currently a volunteer working in my churches kindergarten classroom and I have also worked with ages 0-12 at my church. I also dog/pet sit. I enjoy playing and planning activities to do with the children. Going for walks, doing chalk, and playing games are just a few things I enjoy. I have also worked at a summer camp at a park district last summer. I am willing to cook, clean, do laundry and run errands.
“Hannah was wonderful with our 3 year old. He said he had a lot of fun with her. She’s very good with kids and will make an amazing teacher one day. ”
Hi! My name is Nadiia and I am a mom of a 5-year-old boy. I have real experience taking care of children every day as a parent, and I understand how important it is to keep kids safe, happy, and busy. In the past, I also helped take care of my grandmother, so I am very patient and responsible. I love animals, so pets are never a problem. I am looking for part-time morning jobs where I can help families with babysitting, light play, meals, or just making sure your child feels comfortable and cared for. Parents describe me as kind, caring, and reliable. I would be happy to meet your family!

I’d love to take care of your little ones!🩷
Coming from a family with 6 children, and me bring the second oldest I’m already familiar with lots of children around me. Also I am a mother myself now and that also makes me love being around children too. I used to work as a babysitter for some lovely families. Now I have a part time office job, very flexible and u could use some extra work.
I'm and experience seater, I have three older kids on my own. I worked as a teacher assistant in an elementary school for 5 yrs and I'm currently working at a High school. I love working with kids of any age.

"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
"Hannah was awesome. Went above & beyond to help me with a last minute emergency. She was really sweet & great with my 16mo old. Highly recommend!!"
Lauren D., parent
