Akie $22 per hour for 1 child

Hi - My name is Akie and I'm a music educator and youth development/arts nonprofit professional. I have been babysitting and tutoring since I was 12 years old! I am happy to help with tutoring, running around to sports practices/music lessons, and even give some flute or piano lessons! I am a licensed K-12 music educator. I currently teach early childhood music at Merit School of Music and in home private piano and flute lessons. I also used to be a chef at avec so I am happy to whip up a healthy meal for the kiddos or the whole family! I have been a caretaker for my own parents and grandparents and am comfortable with senior and palliative care.

Hi! My name is Becca :) I am a current Child Family Therapist looking for occasional evening and weekend babysitting gigs. I have 10 years of paid child-care experience- everything from date-night babysitting to full-time and summer nannying to working as a camp counselor. I also work with children and families in a therapeutic capacity as a professional social worker. I have the most experience with the 0-5 age range. I love to read books with kids, engage in imaginative play, color, do puzzles, and go for walks! I am CPR/First Aid certified, comfortable with pets, have access to reliable transportation, and am happy to provide references as requested. Excited to hopefully connect!

Booked by 1 family in Lake Bluff, IL

I am a sophomore in college at Case Western Reserve University in Cleveland, Ohio. I have years of experience working with all ages. My younger sister is 13 years my junior and I have cared for her since she was born. I was a youth leader with the Neighborhood Boys and Girls Clubs in Chicago and a camp counselor and daycare worker with JCYS. I have been a full time summer nanny for a family with two children under the ages of 6 for the past two years. I have babysit for around 20 families throughout my babysitting career! I am looking for babysitting jobs in Cleveland during the school year and Chicago during Holidays and summers.

“Ava is a wonderful babysitter. She kept my daughter active, having fun and learning while doing things! My daughter LOVES Ava and gets so excited when she is babysitting. I recommend Ava without hesitation. You and your kiddos will love her.”
