Hello! My name is De'ja, and I'm a Chicago native with six years of hands-on experience in childcare. I've worked with children ranging from infants to elementary aged. I have experience with Montessori and Reggio Emilia approaches, incorporating art, loose parts, and imaginative play into daily activities. I enjoy creating engaging, play-based learning experiences that support academic and social development. I've also worked in programs that emphasize nature-based play, including outdoor exploration and community adventures, which is something I truly enjoy. I hold an Associate's degree in Art with coursework in Early Childhood Education, and I'm currently pursuing my BA in an asynchronous online program for Psychology with a focus on child development. I enjoy staying active, art, books, and games!

Very careful, responsible and attentive in each recommended task, very affectionate with the little ones at home and above all very patient. I have a very cordial and friendly personality with children. Since I was little, I have liked taking care of children. I volunteer at a school helping children who have difficulty learning or are a little behind.

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.

I’ve been babysitting for awhile now mostly through family or friends of friends. I worked at a swim school and taught children as young as 6 months old to 12 years old. I grew up in a very large family and cared for all of the children. I think that’s it’s a given to clean up and do household tasks while I am in someone else’s space.
