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.

Karen $22 per hour for 1 child

Hi – My name is Karen, and I’m currently on a gap year from the University of Michigan. I’m using this time to work and save up before returning to finish my degree. I love working with kids and making sure they feel safe, happy, and cared for. I’ve helped my aunt with her nanny job and also worked at a home daycare, caring for children of different ages. I’ve also cared for my nieces, so I’m used to keeping things fun, patient, and organized. I can cook, help with light cleaning, and assist with household tasks. I don’t drive, but I’m reliable, always on time, and prefer families nearby or accessible by public transit. I’m also comfortable working with dogs and enjoy creating a warm, positive environment for families.

Ruby $20 per hour for 1 child

Hi, my names Ruby, I used to babysit a lot in high school before I moved and thought it was so fun! I mostly worked with two kids aged 2 and 4, and babysat them for almost a year. I’m a first year college student so babysitting is a great way for me to make money while still having time to focus on school work. I’m also an artist although I’m still working towards making a living off that. But if your kids enjoy to draw I’ll probably end up teaching them a thing or two too!

"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!"
