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.

I have worked with families with children between ages 2 to 11! I am being extremely safe with COVID as I live with my parents, and would love to help your family out in any way I can!

My name is Hinda, and I offer childcare services for newborns, infants, toddlers, and young children, as well as senior care and assistance with running errands. I am a caring, patient, and reliable caregiver with hands-on experience supporting families in both everyday and high-needs situations. I have worked with children of different ages and have strong experience with newborn and infant care. I am also a parent myself and spent several months closely involved in hospital care alongside doctors, nurses, and specialists, which gave me a deep understanding of infant safety, routines, and medical awareness. My responsibilities have included feeding, diapering, sleep routines, playtime, developmental activities, and maintaining a safe and nurturing environment. I am CPR and First Aid trained and always prioritize children’s well-being and comfort. I also provide attentive care for seniors and can assist with errands, appointments, and daily tasks as needed. I am comfortable following family routines, communicating clearly with parents, and providing dependable care. I take pride in being calm, attentive, and supportive, and I truly enjoy helping children and seniors feel safe, happy, and cared for. I look forward to working with families who value trust, communication, and compassionate care.
