My name is Olli Hamilton, and I am a second-year student at Loyola University-Chicago. Currently, I am offering childcare and house-sitting services. I have worked with children for the past seven years, primarily in summer camp environments. In these roles, I was responsible for ensuring children between 3 and 12 years of age were entertained and having fun, while also prioritizing safety and cleanliness. As a babysitter, I believe it is important that children have a choice in the activities that we are doing, but it is my responsibility to enhance their experience and make sure that they are having a fun time. In my free time, I love to try new things, be outside, and make crafts. This means that as a babysitter, I avoid screens at all costs. I would rather play in the rain than play a movie. These pastimes also uniquely qualify me to work with children, as I have craft materials to experiment with, and lead children to try new things.

Hello! my name is Jameila :)

I'm 21 years old and am planning to go back into school soon for psychology. I'd ideally like to do babysitting jobs for children above the age of 7 as well as pet-sitting jobs for cats. I've owned many cats throughout my life since I was a child and I believe I have good knowledge of how to take care of them. I don't have experience working with children but I really want to! I think children are amazing and it'd be fun to hang around them and bring them enjoyment through cooking something nice, reading to them or playing games together, etc. I can also help with homework and whatnot as well. Through my experience working at cafes and different jobs, I have both learned how to clean up well and how to problem-solve/understand others well.
