Hi! I’m a student at the University of Illinois Urbana-Champaign with experience in both childcare and pet care. I’ve been tutoring and babysitting since my freshman year of high school and have worked with youth programs, where I learned to create a safe, structured, and engaging environment for kids. I also have experience caring for pets and enjoy providing reliable care including walks, feeding, playtime, and companionship while maintaining their routines. I’m responsible, patient, and easy to communicate with, and I take pride in being dependable and attentive. With a background in lifeguarding, also serving in the national guard, I’m very safety-focused and calm in any situation. My goal is to give families peace of mind knowing their children and pets are well cared for.
Greetings! I am First Aid and CPR Certified, and 37 years old. I have raised and trained two dogs, cared for seniors experiencing dementia and have 20 years experience caring for children of all ages. My strategy with kids (and seniors) is to slow down, answer all questions and give them options. As big sister to three boys, my entire childhood and young adulthood involved caring for kids. Once I left home, I became a certified post-partum doula, then went on to nanny full time. I became more curious about teaching kids, so became a theater teacher for kids ages 3-11 for 6 years. I am looking to build some caretaking relationships for children, pets and seniors.
“Emily is an empathetic, creative, and compassionate caregiver. I feel completely at peace when she spends time with my son, because I know that her attention is on him fully, and she is so playful and engaging. Her patience is enviable and it is obvious she has spent much of her life around little ones- keeping them safe and encouraging play. I know this, because I have had the joy of watching them interact, and I see how focused she is on him and very tuned into how he likes to interact with the world; but also because my son begs to spend time with her. I would be delighted to speak with anyone who is considering hiring her.”
Hi - My name is Akie and I'm a music educator and youth development/arts nonprofit professional. I have been babysitting and tutoring since I was 12 years old! I am happy to help with tutoring, running around to sports practices/music lessons, and even give some flute or piano lessons! I am a licensed K-12 music educator. I currently teach early childhood music at Merit School of Music and in home private piano and flute lessons. I also used to be a chef at avec so I am happy to whip up a healthy meal for the kiddos or the whole family! I have been a caretaker for my own parents and grandparents and am comfortable with senior and palliative care.
I have 13 years experience in childcare, from babysitting/nannying, being a youth programs/summer camp staff, to currently working in a preschool. I love making kids happy and doing what ever they want to do!
I am a responsible and caring nanny. Spanish is my native language, and I understand English very well. I am currently improving my English speaking skills to become more fluent. I am patient, reliable, and committed to my work. I enjoy planning fun and educational activities for children, including creative and hands-on play, not only technology-based activities. I also love pets and feel comfortable in homes with animals. I like to follow parents instructions and routines carefully, while also being proactive and suggesting positive ideas and activities for the kids. I enjoy seeing them learning, grow and the capacity to discover new things. I like to support their creativity providing a safe, caring and positive environment, where they can feel happy, confident and comfortable. One thing families should know about me is that I am respectful and I can be serious when needed, but I am also very sweet, caring, and enjoy connecting with children.

"Caitlin was awesome and jumped right in to chaperone four girls (10, 9, 8 and 6) at a family wedding (they were bridesmaids) and she was very helpful with the event as well as taking them home and putting them to bed."
Lila P., parent

"McKenna was great with our 3 year old son! She came prepared with a box of fun activities and handled playing, dinner, and bedtime seamlessly... and it was all at our hotel while we were in town for a wedding. Thank you McKenna!"
