The laughter that a toddler makes when they have discovered something new is one of the best sounds that you could ever hear. My experience covers a range of care for infants to high schoolers. I've worked in daycare settings as the lead and assistant teacher for infants to Pre-Kindergarten. I chose to branch out, and worked in professional settings after receiving my bachelor's degree. I have worked as a family liaison for a Tindley Genesis Academy in Indianapolis, Indiana and have been a Site based Program Manager for Big Brothers Big Sisters of Metro Chicago. **** I currently prefer to work with ages 2 and younger. ***

Vanessa
Hi, I’m Vanessa! Childcare is my passion, and I love helping kids learn and grow. I’m currently studying Early Childhood Education at Moraine Valley and hold a Level 1 ECE Credential, which I earned through hands‑on experience as an ECE intern at Reavis High School working directly in a Pre‑K classroom for 2 years. I have great hands-on classroom experience, and I’m still learning new creative ideas every day through my college classes. I’ll always make sure our days are safe, structured, and fun. A few quick facts about me: I’m fully bilingual (English/Spanish), a safe driver with my own car, and very organized with daily routines.

Destiny
Hi! My name is Destiny and I am a 22 year old college student currently taking prerequisites for a career in healthcare. I am newer to babysitting, but I am very responsible, patient, punctual and genuinely enjoy caring for children.

Zephaniah
Hi, my name is Zephaniah Haynes! I’m 19 years old, have my own reliable transportation. While I’m new to babysitting through this app, I have plenty of hands-on experience caring for friends’ and family members’ children—always receiving positive feedback! I truly enjoy working with kids and making a difference in their lives. I’m respectful of every family’s rules and will always check in before making any decisions. I also love cooking (just let me know about any allergies), playing games, keeping kids entertained, and helping with homework. Plus, I don’t mind tidying up to make things easier for parents. Caring for children is something I’m passionate about, and I look forward to bringing a fun, safe, and supportive environment to every family I work with!

Emahni
Hello ! I am the oldest of 3 siblings. I also took on the roll of babysitter for a family friend and her son. I also worked at the ymca as the preschool age daycare teacher for a year. I then moved on to work in Hawaii as an infant and toddler assistant teacher for 2 years. Later, once moving back to Illinois I became qualified to work as an RBT, (Registered Behavior Technician) with kids ranging from 3 to 7 years of age. I have worked with families from all backgrounds and kids with different ranges of learning abilities ! It brings me great joy to be of service to the village it takes in the upbringing of children!

Kamaya
Hi families! My name is KaMaya, and I have experience as a live-in nanny, which taught me how to handle everything from daily routines to creating fun, safe activities for kids. I’m currently in school studying to become a teacher, so working with children is truly my passion. I’m also CPR certified, so safety is always my top priority. I’d love to bring my experience, patience, and energy to support your family!

Hi, my name is Rokyah Hamilton I’m 23 years old. I have a career, but I want to do something that I love most as a part time job. I am not a mother yet but I have two handsome nephews that I love dearly. The love I have for children is unconditional to the point that I pray that one day I’m able to leave my career to make my own daycare a full time job.
