A little bit about me
Hi! My name is Claire Janowski.
I’m 19 years old and originally from Lima, Ohio, but I’m currently living in Chicago while studying Advertising and Public Relations at Loyola University Chicago. Back home, I spent a lot of time babysitting, and I’ve grown to really enjoy working with kids of all ages.
Families can count on me to be reliable, responsible, and understanding—qualities that help me connect with children and make homework time a little easier. I’m also happy to help with cooking, light cleaning, and keeping your home running smoothly.
Outside of childcare, I love staying active—I play tennis, enjoy swimming, and spend as much time outdoors as possible. I bring that same energy into babysitting, whether it’s keeping kids engaged with fun activities, encouraging play, or helping with schoolwork.
I’d love the opportunity to support your family and provide safe, dependable, and caring childcare.
