Hi! I am experienced in long term and occasional sitter jobs and am willing to be flexible with necessary tasks. I am happy to help out with late nights or overnights as well with over 500 hours of experience in overnight care. I feel most comfortable being with children but can also can help out with homework, playtime, meals, light housework, and piano practice if applicable. Pets are perfectly fine, and I have over 100 hours of animal shelter expertise. I am currently a pre-medical student at Loyola studying Biology and am looking to pick up a few shifts throughout my semester. Proof of vaccination can be shown as well as my student ID from Loyola.

β€œEmma was so professional, well-prepared, and absolutely wonderful with my twin girls! She kept them entertained and happy all day long, and I couldn’t recommend her more.”

Important notice: I will not be available until December 23rd. I won’t be available for any bookings until then. Hello. My name is Jenn, and I am a former K-3rd grade Art teacher and currently an English teacher in Spain. I will be back in Chicago soon and would love to continue connecting with families. I have worked with children of various ages and love keeping them active and engaged in fun activities. I speak both English and Spanish and have experience teaching Spanish as well.

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
