Victoria $15 per hour for 1 child

I’m currently a student at the University of Illinois, studying elementary education with about two years of childcare experience. I’ve helped raise my 3-year-old nephew while his mom balances work and school, and I also work in my local church’s Sunday school, gaining hands-on experience with children of all ages. While I enjoy working with kids of all ages, I especially love caring for toddlers and elementary-aged children. In addition to childcare, I can assist with household chores and errands. I also have extensive pet care experience, having worked at a pet daycare and boarding center and volunteered at a veterinary clinic. Although not completely fluent, I am familiar with Spanish and American Sign Language. My availability is very flexible, and I have my own car. I’m dedicated to creating safe, engaging, and nurturing environments for children and pets alike. Please feel free to reach out if you’d like to set something up!

Hello my name is Deanna. I am a mother of 4. I have worked at Sugar Creek Baptist and Elsik Ninth Grade Center in the past. I have 18+ years of experience working with children. The keys to successful relationships with children is encouraging/guiding them, modeling good behavior and listening to them. I am also an experienced caregiver as I have cared for my own Father and Mother. I believe everyone is deserving of respect and I have experience working with people of all different cultures, religion, and ages.

“Amazing sitter. Positive and uplifting energy with very high morals. Not only did she help me with taking care of my child while I was recovering from my procedure, she was wonderful and very caring helping take care of me as well. My child connected well with her as well.”

Timiah 2 reviews
$19 per hour for 1 child

Hi! I’m Timiah, and I have over 10 years of experience working with children. I’ve cared for infants, toddlers, preschoolers, and school-aged children in both classroom settings and one-on-one care. Throughout my career, I’ve focused on creating a safe, loving, and fun environment where children can learn, explore, and feel comfortable being themselves. Working with children has always been my passion. I love watching them reach new milestones, build confidence, and discover the world around them. Whether we’re reading books, doing crafts, playing outside, or working on early learning activities, I enjoy making every day meaningful and fun. I’m also a proud mom of four, so I understand how important it is to find someone you can trust with your children. I know firsthand that parents want someone who is dependable, patient, and caring, and that’s exactly what I strive to be. After spending many years working in childcare centers, I’ve decided to work independently so I can give families more personalized care and build lasting relationships with the children I care for. My goal is to become someone your children look forward to seeing and someone you can feel completely confident leaving them with. I would love the opportunity to support your family and provide a safe, nurturing, and engaging environment where your little ones can thrive.

“Great and reliable. My son loves her so much. Professional and caring. Your kids would fall in love with her. Overall 10 out of 10”

"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!"
