Trusted, Caring & Dependable Childcare for Children of All Ages. Finding someone you can truly trust with your children is important. I provide attentive, nurturing care for children of all ages, with a strong focus on their safety, comfort, and individual needs. I currently babysit occasionally and have years of hands-on experience caring for children. As a mother of two adult daughters, I understand the importance of patience, consistency, and creating a positive environment where children feel comfortable and cared for. I’m respectful of each family’s routines and parenting preferences. I also have excellent references, reliable transportation, and flexible availability with advance notice. My goal is simple: to give parents peace of mind while their children are in my care. I’d be happy to connect and learn more about your childcare needs.

Diaw is great, very helpful taking care of infants and toddlers!

I am a former CNA. Currently I am a certified Pediatric Phlebotomist and EKG technician in a hospital. I speak English and Spanish fluently and have plenty of experience working with babies and children. I have worked independently with clients with Alzheimer's disease as well. Activities I engage with children include reading time, arts and crafts, coloring, playing, going for walks, visiting museums or zoo, etc.

Hi! I am a current MBA student at Northwestern Kellogg looking to make some extra money while in school. I'm originally from California and, prior to Kellogg, was working as a clinical researcher at Stanford for over 8 years running clinical trials for Type 1 diabetes technology. My working role involves working with children of all ages (as young as 3 and up) in a healthcare setting, requiring 24/7 oversight for safety. Much of the research I do involve multi-day studies to oversee how new medical devices perform; I’m essentially serving as a babysitter and creating/overseeing activities to do (it’s hard to explain, but I’m more than happy to do so if you’d like more details about what this means!). I have my BS in human development from UC Davis. Aside from my current role, I have multiple years of experience working with children during college in classroom settings, through various baby sitting gigs, and even teaching piano. I love puzzles, baking, playing with my pup (and generally all dogs), and being outside and active as much as possible! I most recently spent a quarter abroad in Australia and was fortunate enough to complete a few multi day backpacking trips around Australia and New Zealand I love being creative and am happy to do arts and crafts and supervised baking projects with your child! I have been CPR/First Aid trained and certified multiple times in the past (including toddler/infant) for my job, though that has since expired. That said, I am confident in my abilities to address emergency situations from my past trainings.

My name is Reilly, I have been babysitting since I was 13 years old, and I love kids! Some things I do in my free time include reading, playing sports, and knitting.

Reilly is a fantastic babysitter: reliable, super caring and loving to my kids, and there for us when we need her! My wife and I can’t recommend her enough.
