I am the oldest of seven kids and have extensive experience caring for children from birth to age 13, including helping to raise three of my younger siblings. With a solid background in child care, I'm well-equipped to support families in creating a happy and healthy environment. Let me assist with everyday tasks, so you can focus your time and energy on your family and enjoy more quality moments together.

I spent two years as an au pair, where I developed strong skills in childcare, household management, and building meaningful connections with families. After that, I became a certified CNA and have worked in caregiving for the past year, providing patient-centered support in both home and facility settings. My strengths lie in empathy, communication, and creating a safe, nurturing environment for those in my care. have spent the past year working as a caregiver, which has deepened my skills in safety, patience, and compassionate care. I bring a calm, reliable presence and genuinely enjoy helping children thrive in safe and loving environments. I’m confident caring for kids of all ages and happy to help with light housekeeping, meal prep, and creating engaging activities.

Hi! I’m Abi — a recent college grad with a strong background in childcare. I’ve spent the last few years working as a camp counselor and babysitter, and I bring both professional experience (3+ years) and a lifetime of family caretaking to the table. I’m also certified in Adult + Infant CPR and First Aid. I have always felt like working with kids has been my calling - I grew up taking care of a brother who was 12 years younger than me, which gave me hands-on experience with every stage of childhood. As a camp counselor at Steve and Kate's Camp, I learned to take care of kids between the ages of 4-12, and I was promoted to Youngest Camper Lead after my first summer, which put every child between the ages of 4-6 (typically around 15-20 per day) under my care! I am well-practiced with emotional management and conflict resolution with young kids, and I have a lot of experience summoning the kind of energy that it takes to both entertain and care for a room full of littles! I love kids of all ages and have always found it pretty easy to get along with all kinds of personalities. I have experience with and would love to work with children between the ages of 1-10 years old. I would love to connect and see if we could be a good match!

Hi- My name is Dary and I am a spanish speaker only, currently working as a spanish teacher at Living The Language. I am offering child care, and household services. I love being a babysitter and have been watching newborns, infants, toddlers, and kids, since I was 25 years old. My responsibilities have included driving to/from school, crafts, tutoring, and even dance lessons. I also have ample experience as a household assistant and can cook, and clean or do other tasks. I am happy to work with families with pets.

Hi there, My name is Nydia. I'm a transplant from California and attended SFSU to become a teacher. I've worked with Jumpstart in Hunters Point, SF and focused on helping elementary students catch up on their literacy proficiency. I later worked with the YMCA's after school programs. I moved to Chicago in 2011 and worked at Urban Child Academy as an assistant as well as part of the Spanish Immersion program (I am bilingual in Spanish). I began the Day Of The Dead ofrenda there and also helped young minds feel comfortable being in a school setting before they ventured off to kindergarten. Although I am no longer in education, I valued my time in all of the vast settings and learned that each child is different and caring for them is never a one size fits all task. I volunteer at One Tail At a Time and in the past with Alive Rescue. I had the privilege of adopting a sweet street pup I named Walter and had him for 8 years before he passed of old age last September. I hope to be a relief to a family a few days a week and offer my help. I live in Logan Square but do have a car and have lived in Chicago for 15 Winters so I definitely feel comfortable and confident in any neighborhood. I work in hospitality during the evening but with advance notice can also be available for date nights. Thank you for reading my blurb and hope to be of help to a family !
