Savannah $20 per hour for 1 child

Compassionate and dependable caregiver, specializing in creative and recreational caregiving, with experience supporting children, adults with disabilities, and elders. A graduate of the School of the Art Institute of Chicago, I bring a creative approach to caregiving, incorporating activities that engage, stimulate, and inspire those I support. I bring experience working in a preschool with children aged 2-4 years old. I also have experience in bilingual classrooms with children aged 3–10, supporting learning, engagement, and individualized attention to meet students’ diverse needs. These experiences have strengthened my patience, adaptability, and communication skills, allowing me to connect with individuals of all ages and abilities. Additionally, in my part-time role at Renewal Memory, I provide companionship and meaningful engagement for adults with Alzheimer’s, assisting with daily routines and creating a supportive, positive environment. I am also a volunteer at Arts of Life, where I help support professional artists with disabilities by offering guidance, assistance, and encouragement in their daily work. I also have hands-on experience in household management and organization, maintaining structured environments, managing schedules, and supporting daily tasks to keep routines running smoothly. My combination of caregiving expertise, creative approach, and organizational skills allows me to provide meaningful, engaging, and well-rounded care for those I support.

Margarita $20 per hour for 1 child

I am a very extraverted, fun, loving, caring, welcoming, outgoing, and faith filled mother of 5 children. I have 29 years of experience in taking care of kids. I currently am taking care of a 5 year old boy and have been taking care of him since he was 2. I spend time playing with him, singing with him, making crafts with him, and make sure the time he spends with me is a fun one! I personally potty trained him, and my current responsibilities are to feed, clothe, and bathe him. I have taken him with me to do outdoor activities and can keep a very watchful eye on kids. Before taking care of him I watched two other young boys from a married couple. I kept them very preoccupied with various activities. I was responsible for feeding them breakfast and lunch, as well as making sure to clothe them and making sure they went to the bathroom. Before I left the house I kept it very clean. I have a wide variety of cooking skills which makes it easier on parents to have their kids eat what they would like them to eat. If you're looking for someone to clean your home I am a very thorough cleaner. I am open to watching any small pets since I use to own a Cocker Spaniel Poodle and a cat. I am open to watching anyone that is elderly and perform basic tasks. I am willing to open up my home for watching anyone as well as travel to your home. Whatever is most convenient. If your looking for a mother's touch, that is definitely me.

Morgan $20 per hour for 1 child

Hi! My name is Morgan offering childcare with pet and household services if needed during that time as well. I am super fun and energetic and strive to be the babysitter your kiddo asks to come back again and again! I have enjoyed working with children for the past 7 years - including several babysitting and nannying jobs with children newborn - 12 years old, working as a camp counselor for 4-12 year olds and as a behavioral therapist for children 2-10 years old and I am CPR and safety care certified. I really like all animals and I am happy to help with anything that is needed around the house whether that is cleaning, helping with a meal time (kiddo or animal!), helping with homework, or simply any random task that might need to be done while I am there and could have the time to do!
