Hi, my name is Maritza! I am offering part-time and occasional child-care and pet care (dogs). I have loved being an early childhood education teacher for the past 10+ years and I am ready to leave the classroom and work with families and children more one on one. With me, you will get much more than just a sitter or someone to look after your precious ones. I would like to be a part of your family; someone you can trust, your babies can learn from, and your children can have fun with! I am willing to do light cooking/prepare snacks or do some light children's laundry. All my rates, location of services and times are ALL flexible and open for discussion!
“Maritza has been great since starting with us in 9/2024. She is always on time and great with my 3 kids. They adjusted with her very well. Highly recommend her!”
Hi, I'm Ms. Karen, a former Early Childhood Educator. I have over 17 years of experience teaching children ages 6 wks to 12 yrs old. Let me make your life a little easier by caring for your child while you run errands or go out for a night on the town. I am professional, nurturing, punctual and organized. I look forward to meeting you. By the way, I am allergic to cats and dogs!
Hello everyone! My name is Melinda! I am 24 years old and have worked with children for last going on almost four years! I absolutely enjoy interacting with children & contributing to their overall success. I hold my associates degree in Child Development & my bachelors in Educational Studies. I’m seeking to become an elementary school teacher very soon. I would love to chat more with you about providing care for your family! Thank you for reading!
Hi, I'm Marci! I bring nurture, patience, reliability, and a fun-loving demeanor. I enjoy going for walks, organizational projects, spending time with family, and exploring the city. I welcome collaboration, open communication, and friendly demeanors of all. I nanny part-time during the day. I help foster environments and routines for children and families. My favorite part of the job is building connections with the children. I've cared for children from infant to preteen, however my care of focus has centered around children age 2 and younger. My experience is in elementary education, tutoring/homework help, private care, and live-out nanny. I create and foster consistent routines of learning and development through age-appropriate activities. Parents choose me as I’m direct in approach, proactive in planning, and prepared to jump in for a smooth transition for everyone. Children thrive in my care because I am attentive, patient, consistent, and use firm, but gentle boundaries. Safety is my focus. Spaces used are maintained. References available at request.
“Marci helped us out when we needed childcare last minute. We traveled into town and both myself and my husband needed to work which is tough with a highly active jet lagged baby. Marci was lovely she even had a few of her own things to amuse our son. She was great about communication and safety. I would 100% book her again. ”
Hi! I’m currently pursuing a Bachelor of Science degree in Criminology at UIC. I have experience working with children through my work as a summer camp counselor and middle school assistant coach. I’ve supervised children, organized activities, helped create a safe and welcoming environment, and encouraged teamwork and positive behavior. I enjoy caregiving because I like helping children feel comfortable, supported, and engaged. I’m patient, responsible, and dependable, and I enjoy finding fun activities that match each child’s interests. Outside of work and school, I’m an animal lover and have a pet snake. I’m excited to provide families with reliable and caring support!
