I am a fun, flexible 26 year old who loves kids! I have babysat boys and girls ages 2 and up since I was 12 and have always really enjoyed it. I have a car so am available for transporting kids to school, camps, etc.
Hi, I am Lilly. I attended Saint Louis University for Nursing school and graduated in 2022. I work at Rush University Hospital as a medical-surgical nurse. Throughout high school and college, I worked at Kumon. Kumon is a tutoring center for toddlers-high schoolers for math and reading. Also, I babysat newborns to middle schoolers for church. I love babysitting because children was full of life and positivity. Caregiving is loving and warm. A fun fact about me is my spiritual animal is a Beluga whale.
I am a current grad student at UIC in the physical therapy program! I’ve completed my bachelor’s degree in Exercise Science at Illinois State University in May 2024. I worked as a caregiver for 2 summers in a row during my undergrad at a memory care assisted living facility in Elmhurst, IL. I also worked as a rehab tech at Shirley Ryan AbilityLab Pediatric Outpatient clinic in Glenview, IL from May 2024-July 2025. I have a passion for helping and caring for people in any capacity. I’m also experienced in childcare from babysitting my nieces/nephews when called to help my family!
Hello Everyone, my name is Melina, I am 30 years old. I have been married for 5 years and live in the Franklin Park area. I am a religious person, have strong moral values, and am very trustworthy. I have been caring for infants and toddlers for 5 years now. I have a strong love for children and their well being. I have worked at a Montessori school and assistant in a classroom.

Hi! My name is Julieta. I am a 23 year old college student, studying Nutrition and applying to Medical School this upcoming May. I have experience with babysitting since I was in middle school and leading after school clubs with younger kids who are learning how to read or teaching them Spanish and culture. I also have worked at a Children's museum for almost two years. As well as, making kids comfortable while working in the ER as a tech. I love to have fun with kids by interacting with any activity they love to do whether its joining in on their imagination, games, crafts, or going outside to play! I am a huge believer in exercise, being outdoors, and staying healthy so I am open to going to parks or simply playing outside. In addition, I am super informed about allergies and food sensitivities so I would love to know what I can do to ensure safety. Been to many medical emergency/CPR trainings as well. I am a great communicator whether it is through the phone or texting so I can keep you updated! My focus is to make you as parents and the kids as comfortable as possible. As of pets I grew up always around animals whether it was having a 160 pound Newfoundland dog to a mini Australian Shepard and a elderly cat or even having a bearded dragon once! I love to take dogs on a walks or simply playing with them. I have a cat of my own and our favorite thing to do together is take naps :)

"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!"
