Hi! I have worked with children of all ages for over 10 years. My mother established her career in early childhood in the 90's and has successfully stayed in business for over 20 years. I have worked in the early childhood field since 2016. I have also worked in the legal field supporting lawyers who specialize in the safety and upbringing of children (GAL). I have cared for all age groups. I am also a university graduate. I teach and lead with love, and because of it, I still have beautiful relationships with all of the children who have been in my care, many now teenagers andyoung adults! My experience as a child care provider has included caring for children at hotels while their parents went out for a night on the town (and bringing something fun to help the transition be easier for parents and their children). I love kids because they are JUST awesome! Also, I am always up for negotiating when it comes to cost of childcare.
I am a young professional available for weekend babysitting in the Chicago area. I love kids and have had several nanny jobs while in college. I love to draw and do creative activities with kids!
My name is MaryRose. I am graduate of the University of Michigan's School of Social Work where I focused on practice with Children, Youth, and Families and received certification as a School Social Worker. I am also bilingual (English/Spanish)! I work full time as a social worker with Mondays off and availability Thursdays after 4:00 as well as weekends.
Hi! My name is Paul and I’m currently a sophomore at Miami University. I offer babysitting, pet care, and house care services. I've always enjoyed spending time with children, whether it's with cousins or other family members—and I'm great at making sure they’re entertained and safe! I'm happy to help with all kinds of activities, including games, reading, and bedtime routines. I also love animals and can provide care for any of your furry friends, including feeding, walks, and playtime. If you need help around the house—cleaning, organizing, or running errands—I’d be happy to assist. I’ll be heading back to school at the end of the summer, but I’m available to help whenever I can before then. Feel free to reach out if you think I’d be a good fit for your family!
I am recently retired from a lengthy career in advertising sales. I currently have two part-time jobs and am looking to pet sit on the side for extra cash. I am frienly and outgoing and most people and animals like me. Regarding pets they must be friendly with me and other pets. I will need to visit a few days prior to see if your pet responds to me. I had to turn down a petsitting job because the dog did not take a liking to me and nipped at my calf muscle twice. I do have references. I do need to schedule petsitting gigs around my part-time jobs and I am available for overnight stays depending on my schedule. I am mature and you do not have to worrry about me inviting guests into your home. That will never happen with me.
