"Miracle Jones was a great babysitter employer for me for my granddaughter Kaylee. She was so good to where I never wanted another babysitter but unfortunately she had to leave us because she was in the process I believe of moving back to her home town. She always made sure Kaylee was fed which was perfect for us because she loves to eat. I really loved that Miracle was never lazy with my granddaughter because usually people never want to Play or even put there full focus on Kids but I have a ADP camera and will always see them interacting. I loved that she learned what Kaylee liked to where she could buy things if her interest to bring in for her to play with or read or eat . Her smile brights the room very bubbly personality She’s young But very intelligent For her age. I can say I miss her and she’s fit for anything because she is really a miracle."

"We were lucky enough to have Deja as one of our teacher's in daycare - she was sweet and knowledgeable in the classroom. I immediately could tell she cared deeply for her students and their growth - helping identify and achieve key milestones like first teeth, rolling, crawling and walking! We were delighted she was open to also babysitting in our home - She is trustworthy and loves on our kiddo, even picking him up from school and walking him home to babysit. I would highly recommend Deja for babysitting without question!"

A little bit about me

Hi!

My name is Rosa. I'm 24 years old and live in Wicker Park. I'm looking for a part or full-time position. I will be attending classes in the fall. I charge between $16-20/HR unless you have a specific rate that's fine by me.

As a nanny and babysitter for about seven years, I have plenty of experience. In the past, I've taken care of newborns, infants, toddlers, and school-age. The most I have experience and references would be toddlers and school-age. Some duties I had were monitoring children, helping with homework, dressing children, changing diapers, communicating with children's parents about daily activities, behaviors, and any issues, and preparing food. I have many skills like being responsible, creativity, communication, food prep, leadership, potty training, patience, and monitoring. I also have many references.

If you would like to know more about my babysitting experience, please message me.

Thanks!
