Victoria $15 per hour for 1 child

I’m currently a student at the University of Illinois, studying elementary education with about two years of childcare experience. I’ve helped raise my 3-year-old nephew while his mom balances work and school, and I also work in my local church’s Sunday school, gaining hands-on experience with children of all ages. While I enjoy working with kids of all ages, I especially love caring for toddlers and elementary-aged children. In addition to childcare, I can assist with household chores and errands. I also have extensive pet care experience, having worked at a pet daycare and boarding center and volunteered at a veterinary clinic. Although not completely fluent, I am familiar with Spanish and American Sign Language. My availability is very flexible, and I have my own car. I’m dedicated to creating safe, engaging, and nurturing environments for children and pets alike. Please feel free to reach out if you’d like to set something up!

Her years of teaching experience really show in the way she interacts with our children. She is wonderful at handling my kids. What I appreciate most is how she encourages discipline and independence in such a positive and nurturing way.

Timiah 2 reviews
$19 per hour for 1 child

Hi! I’m Timiah, and I have over 10 years of experience working with children. I’ve cared for infants, toddlers, preschoolers, and school-aged children in both classroom settings and one-on-one care. Throughout my career, I’ve focused on creating a safe, loving, and fun environment where children can learn, explore, and feel comfortable being themselves. Working with children has always been my passion. I love watching them reach new milestones, build confidence, and discover the world around them. Whether we’re reading books, doing crafts, playing outside, or working on early learning activities, I enjoy making every day meaningful and fun. I’m also a proud mom of four, so I understand how important it is to find someone you can trust with your children. I know firsthand that parents want someone who is dependable, patient, and caring, and that’s exactly what I strive to be. After spending many years working in childcare centers, I’ve decided to work independently so I can give families more personalized care and build lasting relationships with the children I care for. My goal is to become someone your children look forward to seeing and someone you can feel completely confident leaving them with. I would love the opportunity to support your family and provide a safe, nurturing, and engaging environment where your little ones can thrive.

“Great and reliable. My son loves her so much. Professional and caring. Your kids would fall in love with her. Overall 10 out of 10”

While I do not have formal professional caregiving experience, I have many years of hands-on experience. I come from a large family and have cared for over 15 nieces and nephews, ranging from newborns to teenagers. I have been the go-to babysitter for my family, so I am comfortable with diapers, bottles, feeding, bedtime routines, keeping children entertained, and all the everyday responsibilities that come with caring for little ones. When it comes to pets, I am a huge animal lover! I have my own little “mini zoo” at home with 4 dogs and 3 cats. They are my babies, and I understand how important it is to trust someone with your pets. I would want anyone caring for my pets to treat them with the same love, patience, and attention that I do, and I bring that same level of care to other’s fur babies. I am also comfortable around reptiles and other types of animals. I would describe myself as caring, patient, dependable, attentive, and responsible. I am also a perfectionist when it comes to providing my best work. If you give me your preferred routine and standard of care, I will follow it closely and make sure your loved ones receive the attention and care you expect. My goal is for you to feel comfortable and confident knowing that your children, pets, and home are in good hands. If you need pictures or updates through the job, just ask!
