I grew up taking care of my little cousins and dogs! I used to work in a nursing home as a wait staff. I am going into nursing for pediatrics. I now own a little black cat named Jasper. I enjoy doing art, reading, and playing outside with kids!

Hello! My name is Talia and I'm currently a sophomore at UIC majoring in Industrial Design. I'm glad to offer child care, senior care, pet care, and household services. I love babysitting and have taken care of my cousins and elderly family for as long as I can remember. I love painting and playing with my younger cousins as well as encouraging them to pursue their passions. My responsibilities included driving to/from school and parks, crafts, tutoring, and even Spanish lessons. I dog walked for over a year and even taught tricks! I've worked as a household/personal assistant before and can cook, clean, organize -- you name it.

rebecca $25 per hour for 1 child

Hi, I'm Rebecca. I've spent the past 10 years providing therapy to children with autism in clinical and in-home settings. While I'm still in clinics part-time, I would love to provide childcare as well for those in my community as I finish my Master's Degree in Applied Behavior Analysis. I've been a pet sitter for the last 6 years with Rover/Wag as well. I love to help! I take a very empathetic and whole-child approach to childcare that allows me to build meaningful relationships with clients and their caregivers, as well as trust. My experience with children has allowed me to very effectively multi-task, remain calm under pressure, and use creative problem solving in all situations. I'm happy to cook, clean, or run errands as necessary as well. All pets are a bonus!

Lily $18 per hour for 1 child

Hi! My name is Lily and I have been babysitting for over 12 years! I love hanging out with kids whether that includes arts & crafts or playing soccer. I have worked as a overnight camp counselor for middle school aged children, where I developed emotional support skills. I have also been a regular babysitter for babies, toddlers, and more. I aim to provide a fun and comforting experience for the kids while also making sure the parents come home to a clean house:)
