Hello there 👋🏻 I'm Kimberly I’m studying Disability and Human Development at UIC. I offer child care, senior care, and household help. I’ve been caring for kids of all ages and seniors, including those with Alzheimer’s and dementia, for over 10 years. I enjoy creating a safe and fun environment for kids with crafts, games, and storytime. I’ve also helped with schoolwork through my internship at Chicago HOPES for Kids. In addition to babysitting, I can help with cooking, cleaning, and errands. I’m available for occasional babysitting, including last-minute needs!
Jennah $16 per hour for 1 child
My name is Jennah! I am very friendly and easygoing. I like to be stern when needed. I enjoy creating schedules for the day, but if there is one in place as well, I am ready to follow it! :) I love working with young children and joining them on exploring their creativity. I love to cook simple meals and incorporating new things for them to try. I can help with all homework up to high school level. I have worked with multiple kids before for several years. I have a car and can perform all household duties/functions if needed! I currently do not have my own cleaning supplies to bring, but I will in a few months. If I am working with pets that require walking, I have worked with large dogs and am good to handle them on walks.
