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!

I am a patient, mindful and creative person who loves to be active and outdoors with children of all ages and foster a safe, loving and engaging environment.

“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!”

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.
