"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."

Zoey $20 per hour for 1 child
Hi! My name is Zoey and I'm 18 years old. I'm a freshman in college looking for extra jobs to pick up and I figured babysitting would be the best for me! I currently have a job already but I am trying to get my first car and the hours there just isn't enough so I feel like babysitting could make me extra money while do something I like! I do have more experience with pets specifically dogs than people but I have babysat children in the past and it was something I enjoyed doing so I think this is a good fit. I have one dog now and she is a Presa Canaria and I love and cherish her very much. I did have a Maltese poo but he just recently passed at 14 years old so I've had him since I was little. I went to high school at Whitney Young here in Chicago and my current career path is to become an aesthetic nurse practitioner to eventually open my own medspa. I think that I like caregiving because I'm a very patient and humble person already, a lot of people I know describes me to be laid back but observant of my surroundings which I think is important when it comes to kids or pets because anything can happen in a very short amount of time with them whether is big or small so you just have to be sure to pay attention but keep a calm spirit because I've learned that when you're not calm they also aren't. Overall, I'm looking forward to start this position of caregiving!

I have worked with children from all backgrounds. I have learned basic Spanish and will enjoy creating fun experiences with your family.
