Hello! I am Erica, a sophomore in college studying English and Business Management, and I’ve spent years working with children through summer camps, youth nonprofits, and babysitting. I’ve cared for kiddos from 7 months to 14 years old, so I’m just as comfortable with bottles and bedtime routines as I am with homework help and keeping older kids entertained. I’m big on creating a fun, safe, and positive environment. Whether that means crafts, games, outdoor time, or just making sure your child feels heard and cared for. I’m also CPR/First Aid certified, trained in Mental Health First Aid, and a mandated reporter in both Illinois and Florida, so your child’s safety and wellbeing are always my top priority. Parents would describe me as reliable, patient, and easy to communicate with and kids usually just say I'm relatable. Thank you for taking the time to read this, I’d love to be a helping hand for your family!

Hi, I’m Sarah! I’ve spent several years caring for my nieces and nephews, which gave me an early foundation in childcare. For the past four years, I’ve also gained professional experience providing childcare for families outside of my own.I’ve cared for children of various ages, from infants to school-aged children, and have experience caring for multiple children at a time. I’m comfortable assisting with meals, daily routines, playtime, activities, naps, bedtime, and other day-to-day needs.I genuinely enjoy working with children and getting to know their personalities. I’m happy to follow each family’s routines and preferences and keep parents updated, with the goal of making sure both the children and their parents feel comfortable and at ease.

Hi my name is Yomari & I have been babysitting for 4+ years now. I am the second youngest of 5. I’m 20 years old. my experience with babysitting has been so great. i love the children, they are so silly & i genuinely enjoy when they’re talking, they have so much to say. I dont drive at the moment but i dont mind doing picks up or drop offs that are walking distance. I always ask the parents what are their rules for me & anything that we can do, as in going outside or the park. I don’t mind having to cook or shower kids, bottle feeding or any expectations the parents have for me, im glad to do it.
