Hi! I have been babysitting since my senior year of high school and throughout college as well. I got into babysitting after volunteering in the special education program at my high school my senior year. I have always loved the interactions and watching the growth of the kids I have cared for. I have also worked at a daycare and cared for 10 toddlers at a time with the help of 2 other coworkers! I have 2 nieces I babysit occasionally as well. I would love to help a family find reliable childcare! I have a very bubbly personality and have yet to care for a child that did not enjoy the time we interacted! :) I am very reliable, can do light chores, make meals, not afraid to change a blowout lol, will have dance parties and do karaoke, and be the first call you can make when life happens and you need childcare last minute! I look forwarding to meeting you and caring for your babies like theyβre my own!

Hi! My name is Alexis, and I have over 8 years of experience working with children of all ages, from newborns to teenagers. Caring for and supporting youth has always been something Iβm passionate about, and I take pride in creating a safe, fun, and nurturing environment where children can learn, grow, and feel comfortable.For five years, I worked as a Day Camp Counselor with the Chicago Park District, where I supervised groups of children, planned engaging activities, ensured their safety, and built positive relationships with both children and their families. I also spent two years working with the Boys & Girls Club, mentoring youth, leading activities, and helping create a supportive environment that encouraged personal growth and confidence.In addition, I worked as a full-time nanny for a family with twin infants for a year. In that role, I was responsible for feeding, diaper changes, naps, playtime, maintaining routines, and providing attentive, individualized care while supporting the familyβs daily needs.I have experience caring for children ranging from newborns to teenagers and understand that every child has unique needs and personalities. Iβm patient, dependable, energetic, and committed to providing exceptional care while giving parents peace of mind. Whether itβs helping with homework, planning creative activities, preparing meals, or simply being a trusted caregiver, Iβm dedicated to making every child feel safe, supported, and valued.
