Hi! My name is becca and I am a 23 year incoming first year medical student. I have been babysitting since I was 10, starting with my youngest brother being born, and continued watching toddlers and school aged children throughout high school and college over weekends and summers. I love engaging in games and crafts, and can help out with meals and clean up. I myself have a 2 year old French bulldog, giving me much experience and care in high maintenance dogs. Before starting medical school, I have had jobs as a Certified Nurse Assistant on a cardiology and observation floor, college biology and chemistry tutor, clinical volunteer for senior patients, and participated in clinical research with a focus on pregnancy. Currently I am a medical assistant at a dermatology clinic.
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:)
Hi! My name is Maria. I am 24 years old and looking for occasional babysitting opportunities. I have numerous years of babysitting experience.

Hi! My name is Lilah. I am a certified Direct Support Professional, and am also certified in CPR, First Aid, AED, and Safety Care. I spent the last year and half working professionally with people of all ages who have Intellectual and Developmental Disabilities. I am well equipped with the skills to handle anything that goes on in a relaxed or wild household! I am a laid-back and creative person who has always loved working with and getting to know kids. I was a babysitter for 4 years and worked with kids of all ages- which I absolutely loved. I am a big animal person as well, and am not afraid of any messes. I actually really like to clean! I would be happy to care for kids of any ages, cats or dogs, or assist with any errands or household tasks.
Hey everyone, My name is Daniella and currently I am an MBA student who also works in financial services. Born and raised in Chicago. I am outgoing, friendly, reliable, and trustworthy. I find joy in being a positive mentor in a child’s life. My childcare experience expands across all age groups including special needs. I love doing arts and crafts, teaching (as I currently have an accounting degree), and music. I am excited to work with you and your family and carry a positive impact through care, attention, and fun! Excited to be working with you!
