Katherine $25 per hour for 1 child

I am a responsible and caring nanny. Spanish is my native language, and I understand English very well. I am currently improving my English speaking skills to become more fluent. I am reliable, attentive, and committed to my work. I respect parents’ instructions and routines, but I also like being proactive and bringing new ideas and activities that children can enjoy, including creative and hands-on play, not only technology-based activities. I enjoy seeing them learning, grow and the capacity to discover new things. I like to support their creativity providing a safe, caring and positive environment, where they can feel happy, confident and comfortable. A little about my personality: I can be quiet and reserved at first, but I am very sweet, caring, and enjoy building connections with children. I take my responsibilities seriously and always try to create a warm and positive environment for the families I work with. I also love animals, so I feel very comfortable in homes with pets.

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!

Becca $25 per hour for 1 child

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!
