Arianna $22 per hour for 1 child

Hi-my name is Arianna and I’m a Chicago native! I’ve been working in childcare since I was an early teenager, from volunteer work to nannying in recent years. I have experience from neonatal care all the way to school age children, but have a soft spot for infants. As a medical assistant, I’m trained and certified in BLS and CPR and have a vast knowledge on medical conditions and treatments. I can administer medications and provide wound care when medically indicated. I’m also available for household errands and have my own car and have never been in an accident. I’m more than flexible to help meet your needs!

Booked by 1 family in River Grove, 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!

Nadiia $19 per hour for 1 child

Hi! My name is Nadiia and I am a mom of a 5-year-old boy. I have real experience taking care of children every day as a parent, and I understand how important it is to keep kids safe, happy, and busy. In the past, I also helped take care of my grandmother, so I am very patient and responsible. I love animals, so pets are never a problem. I am looking for part-time morning jobs where I can help families with babysitting, light play, meals, or just making sure your child feels comfortable and cared for. Parents describe me as kind, caring, and reliable. I would be happy to meet your family!

Gisele $20 per hour for 1 child

Hi - My name is Gisele and I'm currently a nursing student going for my masters degree while finding my passion and future specialty. I am offering child care, senior care, and household services. I am open to taking care of pets in addition, as long as the animal is trained and low maintenance. As the 4th in a line of 5 siblings I have extensive experience with toddlers and young children. As a caregiver, my grandmother was my 1st client. I begged my mother to pull her out of the nursing home (after seeing how she was treated there) and to allow me to take care of her full time while I finished high school via homeschooling. I received proper training and several certifications from Help at Home, SEIU for HSP, and many other certifications that have contributed to my over all success as a caregiver giver over the cumulative 6 year time span. Additionally, I have experience with dementia, Alzheimer's and Parkinson’s. My duties as a caregiver have included (but not limited to) escort shifts (doctor’s appts / running errands), medication reminders and management, as well as household management. My specialty with children as well as senior clients are centered around enrichment and mental development. I am CPR certified, have my own vehicle and have a fingerprint record in the IL registry. As previously mentioned I can also function as a household assistant or manager. I ran a department for a South Suburban township for 5 years. This role required me to create and maintain tracking software, track application invoices, scheduling across 4 different calendars, run reports and administer training. On top of conducting intake for my own clients. While my employment history is colorful, I do believe my experience makes me uniquely suited for a multitude of tasks. Needless to say I can handle anything throw at me and am always willing to learn something new. All clients are considered family!! Lets keep building it together!

Jessica $25 per hour for 1 child

Hi there! My name is Jessica and I am a high school teacher within Chicago Public Schools. I majored in history education and went on to earn my Master's in Instructional Design, along with an additional certification in special education. I have a wealth of experience working with young people in many capacities, including teaching, tutoring, babysitting, nannying, and coaching varsity volleyball. I am truly passionate about helping children and teens learn, grow, and have fun! Because of my background, I am highly skilled in helping kids manage their behavior and emotions in a positive way that includes them in the process. A little more about me: I am originally from Ohio and have been living and teaching here in Chicago for the past seven years. When I'm not in the classroom or babysitting, my hobbies include hiking, rock climbing, reading, and spending quality time with my dog, Peanut! I look forward to meeting your family!
