Hi, my name is Miya and I am going into my second year at the University of Chicago! I am from Washington, DC and am living in Chicago over the summer. I love theater, reading, hiking, and fun arts and crafts. I am offering child, senior, and pet care. I have been babysitting and petsitting since I was 14 years old. While babysitting, my responsibilities have included cooking, cleaning, and tutoring, as well as leading activities for kids like crafting and dance/music lessons. My favorite experience has been teaching one of my kids ballet! I am also happy to walk and feed pets; I have 2 dogs and 3 turtles of my own so I am very comfortable with animals. I also have experience with senior care. I have grown up with my grandparents in the house and have spent a lot of time looking after them. Additionally, I worked at Grand Oaks Assisted Living Facility for 2 years. At Grand Oaks, I spent a lot of time taking care of residents as well as playing the piano for and forming genuine connections with the residents. I am very flexible this summer and am willing to dedicate many hours to working. I also would love to continue working throughout the school year this year, although my hours would slightly change then.

Hi, my name is Jennifer and I am a Hispanic babysitter with over 3 years of experience working with children. In my first year, I had the joy of taking care of a 6-month-old from 7 am to 5 pm for a duration of 3 months. The following year, I looked after a 6-year-old from 6 pm to 10 pm for 5 months while balancing my morning college classes. Lastly, in my third year, I watched my neighbor's 3-year-old daughter for a couple of weeks from 9 am to 5 pm. With my diverse experience, I have worked with children of various age groups. From infants to toddlers and elementary school-aged children, I am comfortable and confident in providing quality care for each stage of development. When it comes to activities, I enjoy engaging children in educational and entertaining endeavors. Whether it's reading books, playing games, or exploring nature, I believe in fostering their curiosity and creativity. In addition to my babysitting skills, I am also a certified lifeguard with 4 years of experience. Through this role, I have obtained certifications in CPR and first aid. I have also honed my teaching abilities by providing swim lessons to children aged 4-13. Moving on to pet care, I have a range of experience with various pets and breeds. Whether it is walking dogs, feeding pets, or engaging in playtime, I am capable of providing the necessary care for your furry friends. I am comfortable with large animals and have no issues with animals that shed. Overall, I am a reliable and responsible babysitter with a passion for working with children. My experience, certifications, and abilities make me a well-rounded caregiver who is committed to ensuring both the safety and happiness of your little ones.
