Cameron $18 per hour for 1 child

I’m a patient, friendly, and dependable person who loves working with kids and pets. I’ve spent time in camps, classrooms, and special education settings, so I’m comfortable helping with all kinds of needs and personalities. I focus on creating a safe, positive space where kids feel supported, have fun, and can be themselves. I’m easy to work with, communicate well, and always bring a fun energy.

Monica $20 per hour for 1 child

Hello! I've been working in healthcare since 2020 as a home care aide and rehabilitation aide. I have been a CNA in Illinois within the hospital setting since 2023. Most of my experience is with neonatal, pediatric, and geriatric populations. I have a background in dance, with many years spent devoted to ballet training. I began caretaking with my grandparents and that influenced my decision to enter healthcare. My bachelor's degree is in kinesiology. I'm currently enrolled in a Master of Science in Nursing program.

Hi, I’m Azucena! I’m 18 and looking for a babysitting job! Helping, taking care of, and working along side children is a passion of mine. Im enrolled in college to become a middle/high school history teacher! I may not have a lot of experience but I do have experiences in lesson/activity planning, I’ve taken child care classes all throughout High school, I’ve babysat before, I’ve done school visits and would interact with students from the ages of 3-17. I can keep a child engaged and entertained, I can cook if needed, communication skills, lots of patience, problem solving, and lastly, I know how to have fun!

I've been babysitting my whole life and really enjoy spending time with children. They are genuine, inventive and energetic and a welcome change from the adults I spend most of my time with! I'd love to meet to see if I would be a good fit for you. I began babysitting when I was 12 and haven't stopped since. My youngest sister was born when I was 14 so I have day-to-day experience caring for a young child in my own family. I babysat my way through college, for individual families and for a few churches in a daycare setting. During the summer I worked day camp for school age children and also did respite work with handicapped children. After college I worked full time in the infant and toddler rooms of an Athletic center in Denver for a year - also privately babysitting for several of those families.
