Growing up my grandma owned a daycare and I would help her take care of kids and plan arts and crafts time for them. I also have recent experience over the past 2 summers of working at a stay away camp looking over multiple different age groups of kids over the age of 6 full time. After my first summer I was promoted to leader of my cabin group and have learned to keep things together, better my communication, and still keep kids happy! Pets wise, I have 3 cats and a dog so I know how to manage!

Hello, I’m Ene. I truly enjoy working with children and have experience caring for kids of different ages. I can help with homework, creative activities, meal preparation, bedtime routines, and keeping children engaged in a safe and positive environment. In addition to childcare, I also provide household support such as light cleaning, organizing, laundry, and running errands. I’m dependable, patient, and responsible. I am also comfortable assisting with senior care, including companionship, meal prep, transportation to appointments, and help with daily tasks.I’m reliable, communicative, and committed to creating a safe and supportive environment for every family I work with.

“Ene was great! We hired her for home cleaning and organizing baby clothes. She helped so much!”

Jada $23 per hour for 1 child

Hi families! I’m Jada! I’m currently a nanny in Plainfield and looking to connect with families who need occasional babysitting, date-night care, or just some extra help here and there! (Not seeking recurring jobs.) I have 8 years of professional childcare experience working with children from newborns through school age, including several years as a lead teacher. I also have my bachelor’s degree in Early Childhood Studies and am CPR/First Aid certified. I’d describe myself as bubbly, patient, dependable, and very hands on. I love getting the kids out of the house, going on walks, reading, doing crafts, playing outside, and finding fun things to do based on their age and interests. I’m definitely more of a play based caregiver and prefer keeping kids engaged rather than relying on screens. Yes I dress up in costumes and play the board games with every kid I care for! About me: I enjoy reading, getting coffee, doing crafts, and spending time outdoors. I’d love to connect with some local families who are looking for a reliable sitter they can reach out to whenever they need an extra set of hands!

Rachel $19 per hour for 1 child

I am a licensed teacher who loves kids and animals. Besides working my job as a full-time teacher, I have done a lot of tutoring in middle school math and middle and high school English. I can help high school students write their college essays, prepare for English AP exams, or write their junior theme papers. Animals: I have two dogs who are very friendly with other animals, and can look after well-behaved dogs while you are at work or on vacation. I also have a baby, so animals that are gentle and not aggressive is a must. I have done animal sitting for small dogs primarily, though am open to larger dogs if they are somewhat calm and well behaved.
