A little bit about me
Hi! My names Maliha and I’m 21 years old. Graduated High-school and currently enrolled in community college as well as Western Illinois University for a PHD in Psychology. I love taking care of kids. I want to start saving up for college more and this seems the absolute best option. I get to earn my finance as I do what I enjoy and am best at. Taking care of kids. I’m open minded and very flexible when it comes to my schedule. Definitely happy to oblige with any rules given when taking care of ones child. I can only describe myself so much but if an interview is needed from me I’ll be more than happy to meet the parents. I’m as transparent as it gets and nothing matters but the caring of the child and their safety:)

A little bit about me
Hello Families! I am Cortney, I have raised two grown adults (one with special needs) So I have learned a lot about childhood development first hand. Besides that, I have been a nanny for the past two years to a lively little girl. I started with her since she was 3 months. I would consider myself warm, engaging, patient and energetic. I love arts and crafts and sports. I like to keep learning fun and simple. I focus on fine motor skills, cognitive development and language development. I am versed in many subjects and am attentive and catering. I love children and I believe the more love kids receive the better they'll be.

A little bit about me
Hi! I'm Amelia, a recent University of Minnesota graduate with a degree in biology. I'm on the pre-med track and am planning to apply to medical school next year. I've worked as a Personal Care Assistant, Certified Nursing Assistant, and Emergency Room Technician, so I'm comfortable caring for people of all ages and staying calm in busy situations.
I'm responsible, reliable, and easygoing. I enjoy staying active, spending time outside, doing crafts, baking, and helping with homework. I love getting to know each child's personality and creating a fun, safe environment where they can learn and grow.
I'd love the opportunity to help your family however I can!

A little bit about me
Hello! I’m a Benedictine graduate fluent in English and Spanish, currently learning Assyrian. I’m looking to babysit for more flexibility to pursue my passions. I have experience caring for three kids—a baby and two in grade school—for a non-related family, plus I grew up in a large family with 14 nieces and nephews. In my family, I am known as the babysitter!
From 2019 to 2022, I nannied two of my nieces while following my sister's preferences, like no TV and specific routines. I enjoy being creative, especially drawing, and I love fostering a positive, fun environment for kids. I also use a Montessori approach to support their individual development.
I’m transitioning from a dental administrative career, and babysitting will allow me to focus on my creative goals. I’m excited about the opportunity to work with your kids!
