"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 Tracy! I would like to introduce myself to you. First and most importantly, I am the mother of two wonderful college age children and have a wonderful husband. I am also currently an elementary teacher! I love my job and love working with children! I have a lot of patience and always have a positive attitude. Prior to teaching I worked at a daycare/preschool. I also babysat two infants daily in my home and watched them as they grew into toddlers. I am CPR and first aid certified as well. I also love interacting and helping seniors! I have helped and enjoy talking with seniors in my own family as well as neighbors. I love to care for seniors because they have lived such a long life and deserve to be treated with respect and kindness. Seniors are a great treasure with so much left to share! Another thing I love is dogs! I have two of my own currently. They bring so much joy! Thank you for your time!
“I hired Tracy for a senior sitting job to provide companionship to my mother in an assisted living facility 300 miles away from me. The bond they developed, the support Tracy provided to my mother, and the comfort she provided me exceeded all expectations. My mother received both social and mental stimulation, fresh air, periodic therapy, and a new friendship. Tracy also did several small tasks and brought occasional treats upon my request. She is responsible, thoughtful, compassionate, and kind. She truly is an angel!”

Hello, I have about 25 years of experience taking care of children from birth to 18 years old. Some of the following experiences include, diaper changing, feeding children, sleep routine, food preparation, laundry, car pool, doctor visits, homework/ project assistance, dishes, mopping, sweeping and vacuuming. I also have experience in helping the elderly, feeding, dressing, bathing, medication reminders and assist around with wheelchair/walker. I have more than 15 years of experience with dogs, feeding and cleaning. I received my high school diploma at Richard Daley College in Chicago. My family and I own three dogs, which I successfully potty trained myself! A fun fact, I managed to write and illustrate my own children’s (“Goldfish”) book. Yes, I do have a family of my own, but it has given me so much experience (and still does) that if its ok with you, I would be happy to help in any way that I can.
