Celestine $16 per hour for 1 child
Hi! My name is Celestine. I am looking for babysitting jobs while I am home from college until mid January. I grew up with my mom running an in-home daycare and I have cared for the many toddlers and children in my family, so I have lots of experience and love for children! I also have experience caring for pets. I am enthusiastic, dependable, caring, and responsible. In addition to caring for children, I am happy to complete household responsibilities, pet care, rides to/from activities, and help with errands. I look forward to meeting you and your little ones!
Melissa $20 per hour for 1 child
Booked by 1 family in Darien, IL
I'm a loving aunt to several nieces and nephews, as well as a big animal lover with two cats of my own! I love engaging with children's curiosity and interests. More than that, I love teaching them about all sorts of things, and learning from them in return. I particularly enjoy cooking and baking. I'm happy to meet with you and your family to find out if I'm a good fit for you!
