Hi, I’m Fadzai! I offer childcare, senior care, and household services. I have a background in healthcare and hands-on caregiving experience with individuals of different ages and needs. In addition to babysitting and caregiving, I’m happy to help with cooking, cleaning, household organization, errands, and transportation to and from appointments. I consider myself patient, compassionate, dependable, and adaptable. I understand that every individual and family has unique needs, and I strive to provide a safe, comfortable, and supportive environment. I’m new to this platform and look forward to connecting with families and providing the support they need!

I have a bachelor's degree in psychology and have over 10 years of experience with babysitting children of all ages from infancy to 10 years old of age. I also have experience nannying and teaching children. During Covid, I nannied and tutored two preschool/kindergarten children 5 days per several weeks and had created a preschool like atmosphere in their home while I came up with lesson plans, circle time, and various of other fun activities and crafts. I have 2 years of experience being a lead teacher aide in a home-based daycare. For the last 5 years I have worked as a Case Manager for individuals with developmental disabilities and am a certified Qualified Intellectual Disabilities Professional (QIDP). I'm also certified in adult and infant CPR and first Aid. I recently I have decided to make a career change, and during this time of transition I am offering my qualified services of babysitting, pet care and senior care. I also have a couple years of experience in professional Caregiving for seniors. I have experience in dog sitting and cat sitting as well. I am passionate about helping others and the educational value of understanding the different stages of child development and its impact it has on adulthood and well-being. A bit about me...I studied cinematography as an undergraduate at Southern Illinois University where I directed and edited short films and later transferred to Flagler College in St. Augustine, FL to obtain my Bachelor of Arts degree in psychology. I am creative, fun-loving, responsible, and kind spirited. I have travelled around the world, love to paint and write, and am very family oriented. Please reach out with any questions or to discuss further details to see if we make a good fit! Thank you so much, and I hope to hear from you soon. (I am also available short notice when in need:)

I'm Nadia, 30, Chicagoland born & raised. 10+ yrs experience- everything from babysitting to PT mothers helper to a FT live-in Nanny/House Manager. My caregiver style is very much a "family assistant" type, I do well in those roles, as that's what I've mostly done (as a HM). I own my own (reliable) vehicle, seats 5, and have a clean driving record. I've worked with almost all ages- ranging from 3 months to 17yrs old & I have cared for up to 4 children in one household. Vaccinated. Pet friendly (love animals!). Have my CNA, & CPR certified. Non-smoker/drinker. PT online student, child development + future RN. No issue with a background check/providing references! Flexible on pretty much all things like schedule, days, hours, & no issues with commuting or traveling with the family whatsoever. Open to both PT/FT. Feel free to ask away if there's anything you'd like to know/hear more about that I didn't cover. Hope to hear from you!

I am a mother of four. They are all grown up now, but I’ve had a lifetime of caring for children and children have remained my passion. Outside of my own, I come from a large family, and I have cared for kids of friends’ as well. I’m looking to care for a couple of children from my home in Westchester. I’m understanding and knowledgeable of the growth and fundamental stages of children from infant through school age. I look forward to connecting with you and building a thriving relationship that focuses on the concern and wellbeing of your family.
