Liana $20 per hour for 1 child

Hi! I am a current MBA student at Northwestern Kellogg looking to make some extra money while in school. I'm originally from California and, prior to Kellogg, was working as a clinical researcher at Stanford for over 8 years running clinical trials for Type 1 diabetes technology. My working role involves working with children of all ages (as young as 3 and up) in a healthcare setting, requiring 24/7 oversight for safety. Much of the research I do involve multi-day studies to oversee how new medical devices perform; I’m essentially serving as a babysitter and creating/overseeing activities to do (it’s hard to explain, but I’m more than happy to do so if you’d like more details about what this means!). I have my BS in human development from UC Davis. Aside from my current role, I have multiple years of experience working with children during college in classroom settings, through various baby sitting gigs, and even teaching piano. I love puzzles, baking, playing with my pup (and generally all dogs), and being outside and active as much as possible! I most recently spent a quarter abroad in Australia and was fortunate enough to complete a few multi day backpacking trips around Australia and New Zealand I love being creative and am happy to do arts and crafts and supervised baking projects with your child! I have been CPR/First Aid trained and certified multiple times in the past (including toddler/infant) for my job, though that has since expired. That said, I am confident in my abilities to address emergency situations from my past trainings.

Kayla $25 per hour for 1 child

Hello! My name is Kayla, and I'm currently a union electrical apprentice that works full time and goes to school. I grew up and currently live in Libertyville with my fiancé and 3 cats. In my free time I love to ski and ride my motorcycle. I'm currently a part time nanny and am looking for other part time nanny work and or occasional babysitting gigs. **Fun babysitting is my specialty** I'm not a "turn the TV on and play on my phone" sitter. If your kids are playing a game or running around, I'm doing it with them, not just watching. I love spending time with kids and I can't wait to meet yours! :)
