Hi - My name is Corey and I'm currently a nanny. I love being a babysitter and have been watching newborns, infants, toddlers, and kids (including twins!) since I was 15 years old. My responsibilities have included driving to/from school, crafts, tutoring, and even dance lessons. I also work as a household assistant and can cook, clean, and run errands. I have been a caretaker for my own grandparents and am comfortable with senior care. I can cook, drive to appointments, or do other tasks.

Greetings! I’m Alliesha, a sunshine-loving Floridian who recently planted roots in Illinois in May 2024. While I’m currently pursuing my passion to become a Dentist, my heart has always been drawn to caring for children. With over 4 years of experience as a dedicated nanny and babysitter. Whether it’s crafting, educational activities, ensuring their safety during outings, or simply being a supportive presence, I am committed to being the best possible assistant to parents’ needs. I am CPR and first aid certified, equipped to handle any situation that may arise. My experience includes caring for children with special needs, allowing me to adapt and provide personalized care tailored to each child’s unique requirements. From newborns to teenagers, I’ve had the privilege of working with a diverse range of ages, each bringing its own joys!

Hi! I'm Debbie. I am a pediatric occupational therapist that specializes in providing services in English, Spanish or a mix of both. I am founder and owner of Estrellita OT. For over 13 years, I have worked with children and youth in a variety of capacities such as: camp counselor, babysitter, museum educator, tutor, and health educator. I absolutely love working with children and teens, and am seeking to support young people in a caretaking position as supplemental income. With my educational & professional experience, I have an in-depth understanding of child development and research-backed childcare methods. With my experience as an occupational therapist, I have expertise in understanding how a child's daily routines and meaningful activities have an impact on their individual wellbeing, which significantly informs the way I provide childcare. For example, I strategically use educational play ( a child's meaningful activity) to engage them in their daily routines such as during meals or bedtime. My favorite occupation is play! I love table-top games like Jenga, UNO, or checkers. I also enjoy creative projects like painting, drawing, and making friendship bracelets. I have tutoring experience in grades K-5th grade. I specialize in reading and writing, but can also support with basic mathematics skills. As a native Spanish speaker, I can teach your children how to read, write, and speak in a second language. In my free time, I love making art, reading graphic novels, and exploring this amazing city. Looking forward to meeting you and your family!
