Hi parents! I’m Ashton, the oldest of seven, so caregiving has always come naturally to me. Growing up, I was the built-in “little parent,” and that early experience sparked my passion for working with children. I’m currently completing my undergraduate degree in Human Development and Learning and preparing to begin my path toward becoming an Occupational Therapist. I also work as a paraprofessional at Easterseals, where I support children with ASD, IDD, and a wide range of developmental needs. This role has strengthened my patience, creativity, and ability to adapt to each child’s unique communication and learning style. Outside of school and work, I’ve spent years providing babysitting and dog-sitting for families, neighbors, and of course my own siblings. Whether it’s helping with routines, engaging in sensory-friendly play, or simply creating a safe and fun environment, I truly enjoy being part of a child’s day. I love games, dance parties, karaoke, arts & crafts, and tackling big puzzles, anything that helps kids explore, grow, and have fun. Parents tell me I bring calm energy, responsibility, and genuine connection to the kids I care for. I’d love to support your family in whatever way you need; whether it’s childcare, homework help, structured play, or a reliable extra set of hands. Looking forward to meeting you!

Hi families! My name is Bea, and I’m a warm, nurturing, and dependable individual with a genuine love for children. I believe every child deserves a safe, loving, and engaging environment to grow and thrive. With 4 years of experience caring for little ones of all ages through the Chicago Park District, I bring patience, creativity, and a strong sense of responsibility. Whether it’s crafting, reading stories, outdoor play, or simply sharing giggles, I cherish every moment spent helping children learn and feel loved. I'm here to support your family with kindness, trust, and a big heart.

I am a grandmother and have watched my two grandchildren in Tennessee for more than 15 years. Recently I have moved to the Chicago area so I could help with my grandchildren here. They are ages 3 and 10. I have also helped out friends and family with their dogs while they are on vacation.

Hello! My name is Julia, and I am currently a senior at Dominican University majoring in Fashion Merchandising with a minor in Marketing. I’m originally from Ohio, and over the summers I’ve worked at the Cleveland Guardians baseball stadium in the Kids Clubhouse, where I gained hands-on experience working with children in a fun, fast-paced environment. I love staying active and in my free time I enjoy going for walks, hiking, reading, exploring new places, and spending time with family and friends. I adore both pets and kids, and I’ve been babysitting for about six years. I am also Red Cross certified, so safety is always a top priority for me 😊
