Hi! I am a first year biology student at the UIC, I graduated in the top 10 percent of my class in highschool. I have spent the last 8 years caring for my little sister after school while my parents worked. From the time she was born when I was 11 to now she has been my favorite person ever and I found a love for child care in her. I have cared for her when she was sick and when she was healthy, when she was excited and when she was sad or angry, when she had free time and when she had homework to get done. I will care for your kids just as I would my own little sister because I understand that they're your little pipers and you love them just as much as I love her.

As a 20-something aspiring caregiver, I'm excited to provide a nurturing environment for children of all ages, from toddlers to teens. While I don't have professional experience yet, I'm a responsible, patient, and friendly individual who loves engaging kids through creative activities like drawing, reading, crafting, and music. I'm also happy to assist with homework and chores around the house. Although I don't have a car or driving license, I'm available to babysit in your home. I'm currently in college and look forward to applying my passion for childcare to support your family.

Hi, I'm Stacy and I love to care for children. I’m new to Sittercity, but NOT new to caring for children. I have more than 5 years experience as a teacher and also more than 10 years experience as a professional Nanny. I’m CPR certified and first aid trained, and I have cared for newborns on up to high school aged kiddos and I have loved it all! Additionally, I have 2 degrees in Education. What else ? I know how to cook and do meal preparation, my vaccinations are current and I’m comfortable with pets. I'm a native English speaker and I know Spanish as well. I love teaching children the Spanish words for animals and shapes and colors and numbers and everyday items. I have worked with children of all ages and I have loved it all. Additionally, I can pass a background check, I have my own car and I have a clean driving record. I am comfortable with pets and I do not smoke. ++Please note that I do not provide my references to a potential family until you and I are very sure that we're a match. (sorry to be harsh but I can not burn out my references from getting calls from families that aren't very serious about hiring me. I'm sure you understand this). I like to start with one or two short interviews and if we feel that we be match, then perhaps a few working interviews, during which, we can see in real time,if we are a fit.

Hi! My name is Vicky Vasquez, and I’m a passionate childcare professional with a background in early childhood and special education. I was born and raised in Chicago and have spent my entire life here, building strong roots in the numerous communities and working closely with children and families. I earned my degree in Early Childhood Education and Special Education and spent five amazing years working as a preschool/ special education teacher with Chicago Public Schools. During that time, I supported a diverse group of learners, created engaging lesson plans, and built nurturing environments where every child could thrive. Although I recently made a career shift into recruiting, I deeply miss working directly with children and being part of their daily growth and development. Babysitting allows me to stay connected to my passion by caring for and supporting young children in a meaningful way. I aim to bring a calm, patient, and positive energy to every family I work with. My teaching background helps me create fun, educational, and safe experiences for kids of all ages and kids with all needs! I would love the opportunity to support your family and provide your child(ren) with a caring, dependable, and engaging babysitter!
