“Maura was amazing today with our 10 month old baby! He is going through stranger anxiety, separation anxiety, teething, AND wasn't feeling the best today, and despite all of that, he really enjoyed spending time with Maura and felt comfortable almost immediately. That almost never happens! Maura was so sweet with him, kept him engaged and happy, and even loaded/unloaded our dishwasher & straightened up during his nap and before leaving for the day. He had a really fun day! We are very excited to have Maura back as our regular part-time nanny and sitter!”
Panmela $25 per hour for 1 child
I'm a loving, joyful, and energetic person with a strong drive and a true passion for childcare. I have experience with children of all ages, including three experiences caring for baby twins and one experience with older twins. I'm responsible, patient, and always attentive to the unique needs of each child. Whether it's playtime, homework help, or bedtime routines, I bring positivity and dedication to every moment. I also have a reliable car, which allows me to manage school runs, extracurricular activities, and family errands efficiently. I'm currently majoring in Nursing, which has strengthened my knowledge of child development, health, safety, and patient care. I'm fully committed to providing a safe, fun, and nurturing environment for your children.

Lilly $20 per hour for 1 child
Hi, I am Lilly. I attended Saint Louis University for Nursing school and graduated in 2022. I work at Rush University Hospital as a medical-surgical nurse. Throughout high school and college, I worked at Kumon. Kumon is a tutoring center for toddlers-high schoolers for math and reading. Also, I babysat newborns to middle schoolers for church. I love babysitting because children was full of life and positivity. Caregiving is loving and warm. A fun fact about me is my spiritual animal is a Beluga whale.

Booked by 1 family in River Forest, IL
Hello! My name is Talia and I'm currently a sophomore at UIC majoring in Industrial Design. I'm glad to offer child care, senior care, pet care, and household services. I love babysitting and have taken care of my cousins and elderly family for as long as I can remember. I love painting and playing with my younger cousins as well as encouraging them to pursue their passions. My responsibilities included driving to/from school and parks, crafts, tutoring, and even Spanish lessons. I dog walked for over a year and even taught tricks! I've worked as a household/personal assistant before and can cook, clean, organize -- you name it.
