A little bit about me

Hey there! I’m Maria, a Texas native currently living in Chicago and studying Political Science and Africana Studies. I love diving into big ideas, but I’m just as passionate about getting things done and connecting with people. My background is a bit of a mix—everything from managing communications and organizing recruitment to handling regulatory details. On top of my academic and professional projects, I also spent a lot of time working as a nanny for a family with three awesome kids (ages 3, 7, and 9.) If you can successfully manage the schedules, moods, and daily chaos of three kids in completely different age groups, you can pretty much handle any fast-paced environment thrown at you. It taught me how to stay incredibly organized, communicate clearly, and think on my feet.

Nyema C. - Seeking Work in Chicago

Babysitter Available in Chicago, IL: Nyema C.

Hi! I’m Nyema, a nursing student, who genuinely loves working with children. As the oldest child in a large family, caring for younger kids has always been a natural part of my life. I started babysitting during the pandemic when families needed reliable childcare, and over the years I’ve been trusted by relatives, family friends, and referrals to care for children of different ages. I love reading stories, doing arts and crafts, painting, dancing, going on walks, playing games, or coming up with new creative projects, I love helping children learn, explore, and have fun. I’m CPR certified, trained in Stop the Bleed, and volunteer in a hospital. In the future, I hope to work in pediatric mental health because supporting and caring for children is something I’m truly passionate about. My goal is always to create a safe, positive, and encouraging environment where children feel comfortable being themselves and parents feel the best leaving them in my care.
