I've spent the past few years working with babies and have always loved caring for little ones. As one of the oldest in my family, I helped take care of my younger siblings whenever needed, which gave me a lot of hands-on experience.I'm CPR certified, have great references, and completed training while working at BDLC, where I cared for infants as young as 2-3 months up to about 18 months old. I currently have availability three days a week since I'm doing an internship on the other two days.I'd love the chance to help out and care for your little ones!

My name is D'era. Iβm from Chicago, IL. Iβm a mom of 2 boys, ages 2 and 10. I'm currently a nursing student with aΒ goal of working in NICU when I graduate 2025. Iβm currently working at The University of Chicago Medicine Hospital doing CNA work, but it's becoming too much to juggle. Iβm in a position where part time babysitting would be a perfect fit for me! Iβve babysat for friends, coworkers, and family. Iβve babysat children from the age ranges of 3 months up to 11 years old. I've been babysitting for close loved ones for 4 years now. I love working with children and getting to know them and their individual personalities. Some of my hobbies include reading, spending time with my family and friends, non-stop playdates with my kids, and super hard studying! However, I am a very flexible person and I love to try new things. As a caretaker for your children I believe safety is my number one priority. I believe a quality babysitter puts children as their first priority, especially their safety! I aspire to be a positive role model, and assist the children in coming up with fun and exciting activities so the night is a fun and positive experience! I look forward to establishing positive relationships with you and your family! For occasional and "One Time" positions, please do not hesitate to contact me! Although I'm most available in the evening and over nights, I'm flexible for mornings! I just would need to know prior the preferred time and dates! I'm always open to talk and sort things out to accommodate you in the best way.
