I grew up in an in-home childcare that my mother ran for about 12 years. I have four younger siblings as well. I started babysitting at 15 for the neighbors and by the time I was 19 I was doing overnights with a 3 month old baby girl, a two year old and ten year old. It was a lot but we did it! I’ve had a few other families over the years but it’s been some time as I am now a hairstylist and have worked in restaurants for the last 10-13 years. I am currently 37 years old and have my own 10 month old little boy who will be with me most of the time. He’s a very good, smart little guy and loves big kids. He has lots of older cousins he loves to play with. If you’re worried about it being too much for me to handle, please don’t. I am with him all day every day, we like to go outside and do things if you are comfortable with that. I am great with children.

Hello, my name is Kristina! I am a 24 year old professional nanny and piano teacher. I have a DTA in Music and a real estate license. My qualifications include a CPR certification, specialized Child Development training, and a food handler permit. I offer extensive childcare experience and excel in providing comprehensive household services. These include pet care, laundry, meal preparation, homework assistance, efficient errand management, and facilitating transportation for children's activities. Rest assured, my genuine enthusiasm for working with children and pets translates into top-notch care and support you can count on. My background entails a range of impactful roles, including serving as a kids' choir director, a summer camp leader, and a piano instructor catering to both kids and adults. In addition, I have a notable tenure as a preschool teacher at UCIC. My experience extends to being entrusted as a nanny for multiple families, where I've adeptly cared for babies, toddlers, kids, teens and special needs children. My responsibilities have also included skillfully managing households with children and pets during parents' business trips. Driven by an authentic passion for nurturing children's growth and well-being, I'm dedicated to making a positive impact on all the families I serve.

Kristina is incredible. I was so beyond stressed to leave my 2 year old daughter to go to work for the first time and Kristina was so good with her it put me totally at ease. She is honest, thoughtful, kind, compassionate and trustworthy. I would recommend her without any hesitation. I feel so incredibly lucky to have found her and know my daughter is taken care of while I’m at work.

$30 per hour for 1 child

Hi my name is Rebecca! I currently nanny for a family after school so my afternoons and evenings are usually booked. I am looking for a family to work with in the mornings through early afternoon as well as Friday and weekend babysitting opportunities! I have 11+ years of experience working with children of all ages, including infants, toddlers, preschoolers, school-age children, and teens. I’ve worked as a teacher in infant–pre-K classrooms and as a nanny for various families. Most recently, I’ve cared for children ages 1–4 and 6–9, with additional infant and teen experience. I love getting on a child’s level and learning through play, exploration, and hands-on experiences. I have experience with Montessori, Reggio Emilia, and Waldorf-inspired approaches and enjoy outings, parks, and activities that encourage discovery. Safety is my top priority. I’m calm, kind, patient, and attentive, with a focus on social-emotional development and age-appropriate boundaries. I have experience with neurodivergent children and adapt my approach to each child’s individual needs. I value open communication and working closely with parents as a team. I’m seeking a long-term morning position ending by 1:30 PM. For positions over one month, I require payroll.

I have always babysat and loved it. I mostly did family friends and neighbors but had work with people that I just met, too. I am too soft for my own good. It is good for the kids though. I have done services ranging from babysitting to cleaning houses. I always do my best to ensure a good experience to the one I’m caring for. I do love babies specifically and hope to get more experience with newborns.

"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!"
