Hi! I’m ZoΓ« and I’d love to sit for you or nanny! I’m a student at the University of Illinois Urbana Champaign but my hometown is Glen Ellyn so I’m available to help out in either area! I have experience with all age ranges and I’m well experienced with dietary restrictions and special needs. I can also run errands, do housework, pet care, meal prep, and tutor if you need! I have my own car so I can commute but also provide transportation. I have never been in an accident or gotten a ticket. Lastly, I’m fully vaccinated and uphold a pretty healthy lifestyle as I am active and do not smoke!

Hi! I’ve been working with kids since I was certified in the babysitting course at 13. I’m used to babysitting since I’m the oldest of 3, and have babysat for neighbors, families through lifeguarding, and others I’ve met locally. I am certified in first aid, CPR, AED, and trained in the heimlich maneuver through Red Cross, and have had those renewed twice. I have a pretty open schedule since I just finished my Rad Tech seminar and hope to make some connections sitter-wise since I just recently moved here!
