Hi! My name is Ally and I'm a School Social Worker at an elementary school. I work primarily with students who are PreK-2nd grade. I am offering child care and pet care. I love spending time with kids and have been babysitting various ages since I was 15 years old. I enjoy doing anything (games, crafts, helping with homework, driving to activities, etc)! I am CPR certified and have taken many courses for my career related to social emotional skills and regulation. I have also watched both pets since I was 13 years old. I love dogs and cats, and am comfortable with any breed or size. I have a German Shepherd, so I’m also used to hair :)

Hi! I am experienced in long term and occasional sitter jobs and am willing to be flexible with necessary tasks. I am happy to help out with late nights or overnights as well with over 500 hours of experience in overnight care. I feel most comfortable being with children but can also can help out with homework, playtime, meals, light housework, and piano practice if applicable. Pets are perfectly fine, and I have over 100 hours of animal shelter expertise. I am currently a pre-medical student at Loyola studying Biology and am looking to pick up a few shifts throughout my semester. Proof of vaccination can be shown as well as my student ID from Loyola.

Important notice: I will not be available until December 23rd. I won’t be available for any bookings until then. Hello.

Booked by 6 families in Berwyn, IL

I have been working as a Babysiiter/Nanny for about 11 years. I worked in the early childhood center in my college freshmen year with Infants through the age of 4 years old. I worked with a wonderful family for about 5 years. I had many more families I worked with for a couple of years as well, and date nights. I like to inform the parents on how their children are doing. I love children, I also enjoy playing with them and teaching them how to learn new things such as reading doing math problems and much more. I am responsible, honest, friendly and have great communication with parents.

“Elizabeth responded quickly, was prompt and interacted well with our children. I would gladly use her again.”
