"Amina came and helped us out when our babysitter canceled last minute. She was great with our kids. Even our 11 month old son who has stranger anxiety warmed up to her."

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!”

Krystal $19 per hour for 1 child
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!
