Hi! My name is Catie, and I'm a dedicated caregiver with a passion for supporting children's development. I'm 23 years old with a Bachelor's degree in Psychology from Carleton College and am preparing to pursue a doctorate in Clinical Psychology in August. Currently, I work at a therapeutic preschool for children with developmental disabilities, where I've gained hands-on experience and skills in providing personalized support. With about four years of childcare experience, including one year with children on the Autism spectrum, I bring a compassionate, informed approach to caregiving. I'm CPR and First-Aid Certified and trained as an EMT, ensuring a safe environment for your child. Although I work weekdays from 8:30 a.m. to 5:00 pm, I'm available for babysitting on weekends or weekday evenings. I look forward to connecting with your family and helping create a nurturing, engaging experience for your child!
Hello my name is Shannon or Shan. During the school year I am a program manager for before and after school programs at a CPS grade school. I work with all ages from Pre K to seventh grade in the program. I have many years experience babysitting for infants and toddlers. My schedule is currently very open for the summer so I have a lot of flexibility. I love all animals, I myself have two cats, and also have several years experience pet sitting, mainly dogs and cats.
I am a 22-year-old Boston University graduate who majored in psychology. I am offering child care, pet care, and household services. I have been working with children since my first job at the age of 13. In high school, I was a camp counselor for 3 and 4-year-olds. During that time, I babysat for many families I met while working at summer camp. Once I went to college, I worked in a child development lab where I worked with school-age children. I am CPR-certified. I have been surrounded by pets my whole life and feel very comfortable taking care of any pets whether they be cats, dogs, hamsters, etc.
Hello! I’m Kaeley. I am looking to babysit on the evenings and weekends. I work M-F 9-5pm, and am looking to get back into babysitting, which is something I have done since I was 15. I nannied full time for a family with 3 boys (3yrs, 5yrs, and 8yrs) for 8 months during the pandemic. I also spent one summer in college as a mother’s helper for a newborn and 2 toddlers. I babysat weekly throughout high school and regularly throughout college. I have also worked as an EMT, a lifeguard and swim instructor, and as a Home Health Aide. I love kids and I love to play and foster learning. I myself like to play sports, read, and spend time outdoors. I have a college degree and have lived in Chicago for 4 years.
Hi! I'm Lizzie, and I am a current social work master's student at UChicago's Crown School who has always loved serving as a mentor and working with children. I am offering child care, pet care, and household services. I have worked with and cared for toddlers and kids in a variety of settings including in-home babysitting, elementary schools, and women and children's shelters. (I've seen it all!) I have tutored, taught social and emotional skills, led craft activities, and am up to date on all things Bluey. As a household assistant, I can cook, bake, clean, and run needed errands. Pets are also no problem! I am extremely comfortable caring for both dogs and cats.
