I started babysitting when I was eight years old around my Chicago neighborhood. I have cared for every age in my 11 years of childcare. I have nannied full time for toddlers and teenagers. As well as occasional babysitting. I usually worked by referrals as I was a popular sitter at home. The past year I have been caring for my grandfather who is undergoing chemo.I am well versed in senior care and handling. I am very organized and love to help around the house. I will make sure to leave your home cleaner than you left it. I value punctuality and manage time well. I am happy to transport your kids to any after school activities etc. I can also care for your pets of any kind! I have had any pet you can name and have been responsible for others in the past. I am a very patient and caring person who is studying to be a child psychologist. Please consider me for any sort of care.
Hello Family! I am currently a House Mom at one of the UMN sororities. I’d love to help out your family in my free time! Child care, cleaning, pets, meal prep/cook, errand running, yard work, organizing, personal assisting, etc. I am a mom of 4 grown children and I have been professionally employed in the Domestic Arts for decades, with impeccable references. I am represented by one of Albuquerque’s premier Nanny agencies. My love for children & pets, plus my natural level of high energy and attention to detail make this field a joy for me. I’d love to meet and see if we are a good match! Thank you for considering me!
“She is punctual and great communication through out the whole care. When we came back at night, our son is asleep after shower brushing teeth and fed. She made every minute filled with fun activities like drawing, painting and play playdough. Not to mention how organized she is! Big big thank you to you Mercedes! It has been a great pleasure to meet you and have my son in your care.”
I have several years of experience caring for children of different ages, especially infants and toddlers. I’ve worked as a lead toddler teacher and completed internships in elementary and middle schools. I love doing art projects, sensory activities, reading, and finding fun ways to help children learn through play. I’m patient, dependable, caring, and laid-back, and I always try to accommodate each family’s routines and needs. I also have early childhood education coursework and childcare training.
Hi, my name is Erin. I am an enthusiastic young lady who loves to work with kids on fun activities, crafts, and learning experiments, as well as cleaning and organizing whenever I can. The experience I have working with kids is in specific areas. One was an afterschool instructor where my responsibilities were making curriculum for the kids to do during the afterschool program and coming up with fun crafts and activities for the kids to do during program hours. On top of that, I also had to maintain a clean and professional work environment while also staying fun and engaging with the kids. My second area of work experience is as a registered behavioral technician specifically working with kids with autism, with this experience, I am comfortable working with kids that has developmental disabilities and I’m excited to show love and care to the kids and families that I work for. I have been working with pets since I was 12 years old when I was given more responsibility of caring for our family pets as well as having the wonderful opportunity of house/pet sitting for a variety of friends and family. I love being able to help families when they’re not able to take their pets with them on vacation business trip or any other occasions that would require me to come and help. I do have experience with administering oral medicine both with cats and dogs, as well as being able to bathe both cats and dogs if the occasion requires it.
“Erin is super sweet and did amazing with my boys. She was professional, attentive, and reliable. The boys enjoyed being around her!”
