Yesenia $21 per hour for 1 child
I am a current grad student at UIC in the physical therapy program! I’ve completed my bachelor’s degree in Exercise Science at Illinois State University in May 2024. I worked as a caregiver for 2 summers in a row during my undergrad at a memory care assisted living facility in Elmhurst, IL. I also worked as a rehab tech at Shirley Ryan AbilityLab Pediatric Outpatient clinic in Glenview, IL from May 2024-July 2025. I have a passion for helping and caring for people in any capacity. I’m also experienced in childcare from babysitting my nieces/nephews when called to help my family!
Freddie $18 per hour for 1 child
I am currently a freshman at Elmhurst University in Illinois, and play for the volleyball team. I am studying marketing. I grew up in Las Vegas and attend Bishop Gorman High School. I come to Vegas during school breaks and work there as well as in Elmhurst. My older sister has two kids that I have been helping with since I was 11. They are now the ages of 7 and 1. I drive now so I take them to their extracurricular activities and entertain them with fun activities including crocheting, knitting, painting, coloring, playing outside, as well as cooking. I am super comfortable helping with running errands and cleaning around the house. I have 2 cats and 3 dogs so working with animals is no problem! I love playing with animals as well as taking them out for walks!
Ava $15 per hour for 1 child
I am a second-year medical student at Loyola with a background in neuroscience and I am looking to help families, offering child and senior care. I have experience as a caregiver for my grandmother and for my autistic brother. I have also worked as a math tutor, so I am happy to help with tutoring or errands like driving to/from school and appointments. Ideally, I am hoping to house-sit and have time to study for my own school work alongside helping kids with their homework. I am allergic to animal dander, but I am a huge animal lover nevertheless! Other fun facts about me: I play the flute and piano, I used to play soccer and now rock climb, and I volunteer at the Field Museum!
Amber $20 per hour for 1 child
Hello! My name is Amber, and I am currently a college student working on her pre-nursing requirements and finishing an environmental science degree while maintaining a 3.48 GPA. I mention this only to say, yes. I can help with that pesky homework question. I have enjoyed providing a safe and friendly environment for toddlers to adults since middle school. I enjoy doing arts and crafts as well as losing at games and playing catch. I can provide light housekeeping with supplies provided and basic, healthy meals. I am certified in CPR as a licensed EMT-Basic and am pet-friendly and a non-smoker.
Melissa $20 per hour for 1 child
Booked by 1 family in Hillside, 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!
