A little bit about me

Hi there! I'm a student in my last year at Loyola and live in a apartment in Rogers Park. I have been babysitting and nannying on and off since high school and enjoy my time with kids of all ages. While I am very childlike myself, I am very responsible and put the child's care before anything else. I am willing to help out with kids and around the house including with pets and such. I have two dogs and two cats back home in Texas and have been a a part of Wag and Rover for years. While none of my babysitting or nannying experience has been longterm so far, I am hoping to have the opportunity for it now. Hope to hear from you soon!

A little bit about me

Hi! My name is WD (they/them). I love working with children of all ages, but I have a soft spot for the early years. A former caregiver to disabled adults and a future occupational therapy student, I'm especially interested in working with children with developmental disabilities.

I work well with families who are growth-oriented and direct in their communication. My approach to childcare is warm and attachment-based; I view the caregiver’s receptivity and ability to set and hold boundaries as the foundations of a strong child-caregiver relationship. I’m a strong organizer and planner and an excellent vegetarian cook; I love cooking with/for kids and am happy to take on household management duties for appropriate compensation. I believe that children need routines, and I enjoy planning activities with “the whole child” in mind, creating opportunities to explore across social, emotional, cognitive, sensory, fine- and gross-motor, and linguistic domains of development..

A little bit about me

Hi there! I'm Emcat, I'm 27 and I moved to Chicago four years ago. I pride myself on being very crafty, reliable in an emergency, a good cook, an even better baker, and someone who tries to keep in touch with their inner child. I've always been passionate about working with kids and making them feel seen in a world that often overlooks their value. Looking back at my own childhood, I wish I had more adults in my life that understood that, despite my age, I still deserved a seat at the table. Now whenever I work with kids I commit myself to never allowing them to feel unseen or unheard. I'm a big believer in instilling creativity, emotional intelligence, and critical thinking in young minds. My ultimate goal in working with kids is to create a kind, compassionate environment for them to flourish in!
