"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 Ayesha and I’m a responsible college student with 2–3 years of experience caring for younger children, including family members. I help with homework, playtime, meals, and bedtime routines while keeping a safe and positive environment. I’m patient, reliable, and very organized, and I also offer light housekeeping such as dishes, laundry, and general tidying to make your day easier. I’m great at following routines, staying off my phone while working, and making sure kids feel comfortable and supported. I’m available after school, evenings, and weekends and am open to last-minute bookings.

Hello! My name is Talia and I'm currently a sophomore at UIC majoring in Industrial Design. I'm glad to offer child care, senior care, pet care, and household services. I love babysitting and have taken care of my cousins and elderly family for as long as I can remember. I love painting and playing with my younger cousins as well as encouraging them to pursue their passions. My responsibilities included driving to/from school and parks, crafts, tutoring, and even Spanish lessons. I dog walked for over a year and even taught tricks! I've worked as a household/personal assistant before and can cook, clean, organize -- you name it.
