Hello there! I'm Camila, a 27 year-old passionate about childcare and babysitting. With over 6 years of experience working with babies and toddlers here in America, I've developed a deep love for spending time with little ones and nurturing their development. In addition to childcare, I'm also happy to lend a hand with cooking, cleaning, or any other household chores that need to be taken care of. Being pet-friendly, I'm comfortable around dogs and cats. If you're in need of a responsible and caring childcare provider who will treat your little onesβ€”and furry friendsβ€”with love and attention, I'd love to chat further. Let's create a safe and happy environment for your family together! Looking forward to hearing from you soon! Best, Camila

Hello, my name is Pia and am currently in school for ultrasound tech. I am offering child care and household services. I have 4 years of experience as a daycare assistant watching over infants, toddlers, and kids (pre-k to 6th grade). I have also been babysitting different families ever since I was 16 years old. I enjoy my responsibilities of taking the kids to the park or the library, driving to/from school, tutoring, making art and crafts, or sing and dance to some music. I also offer light housekeeping services such as cooking, cleaning, laundry, and occasional grocery shopping. If you would like to add more housekeeping services, just let me know-- I will be flexible!

Booked by 4 families in Chicago, IL

I am from the west side of Chicago and I have been taking care of children since I was a young teenager. I have worked with a company for a little over 2 years, working with kids who attend school. I can help with chores around the household, homework, or any other tasks that will create a comfortable space. I own a dog and know why or how a task involving a dog will be handled. If I have questions I communicate well with the guardians and able to figure out the situation.

β€œVery good and patient ”
