Hi! My name is Yazzy and I’m currently a regent graduate from Columbia College Chicago. I am offering childcare services & pet services. I love being a babysitter and I’ve worked as a nursery worker until recently so I have several experiences with newborns, infants, and toddlers since I was 15 years old. My responsibilities have included crafts, tutoring, and meal prep. I also work as a photography assistant and can take your family portraits! I have four dogs of my own and I’m very comfortable around all pets & will treat your fur-babies as one of my own.

Ava $15 per hour for 1 child

I am a second-year medical student at Loyola with a background in neuroscience and I am looking to help families, offering child and senior care. I have experience as a caregiver for my grandmother and for my autistic brother. I have also worked as a math tutor, so I am happy to help with tutoring or errands like driving to/from school and appointments. Ideally, I am hoping to house-sit and have time to study for my own school work alongside helping kids with their homework. I am allergic to animal dander, but I am a huge animal lover nevertheless! Other fun facts about me: I play the flute and piano, I used to play soccer and now rock climb, and I volunteer at the Field Museum!
