Irene Chicago
$13 per hour for 1 child

Hi - My name is Irene and I'm currently a professional that is working in between jobs. I am offering child care, senior care, pet care and household services. I love being a babysitter and have been watching newborns, infants, toddlers, and kids since I was 12 years old. My responsibilities have included driving to/from school, crafts, tutoring, and even dance parties. :) I also work as a household assistant and can cook, clean, and run errands. I have been a caretaker for my own grandparents and mother and am comfortable with senior care. I can cook, clean up and keep them company. I love all animals and would be a happy caretaker to them!!

I am a certified New York State teacher with certifications in childhood education grades K-6, special education K-6 and art education K-12. I taught first grade for the past three years at an international school and I just moved to Chicago to begin graduate school. I can create lessons to teach your children or help assist with what they are learning in school. I know virtual learning is challenging, but I am here to help make it easier and more exciting for you and your kids!

"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!"
