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.

My last job was at Jaslin Hotel as a front desk receptionist.

Hi! I’m Abby, and I am a freshman at UIC studying Political Science! I’ve been babysitting and nannying for the past six years and have worked with kids ranging from 18 months to 14 years old. While I’m comfortable with all ages, my favorite age group is 3-12 because I love how active, curious, and fun they are. Whether we’re playing outside, doing crafts, baking, helping with homework, or just hanging out, I enjoy keeping kids engaged and making sure they feel safe and supported. I’m happy to help with light housekeeping, cleaning up after the kids, dishes, laundry, meal prep, and keeping things organized so parents can come home to a tidy house. I’m reliable, patient, and easy to communicate with, and I always do my best to make life a little easier for families while making sure their kids have a great time

Welcome message:

Hi Parent(s) I am very excited to start working again. Since 2019, I have babysat for family members and have taken care of my 9 & 4 yr. old cousins. During my second semester in college in 2022, I started to work as a nanny for a family that had a 1 & 2 yr. old and then worked with a different family later that year where I took care of a 2yr. old. I have most experience with younger children but can't wait to have different experience with children of all ages. I am currently majoring in Early Childhood Education and will graduate in about a year. I love to try and get kids away from the screen and be outside. I do love arts and crafts with kids and singing along to whatever song they are favoriting at the moment.

Top 10 Tips For Hiring A Pet Sitter

Follow these handy tips for hiring a pet sitter to ensure your furry family members are safe, happy, and cared for while you’re away.

1. Check Experience

Ask how long they’ve been pet sitting and what types of pets they’ve cared for. Experience with your specific type or breed is a big plus.

2. Verify Credentials

Look for pet CPR/first aid certification, pet care training, or memberships in professional pet-sitting associations.

3. Ask for References

Speak with past clients to confirm reliability, trustworthiness, and quality of care.

4. Meet in Person

Schedule a meet-and-greet to see how your pet reacts to the sitter and ensure a comfortable connection.

5. Discuss Duties Clearly

Define whether they’ll walk, feed, administer medication, groom, or provide other services. Be specific about expectations.

6. Check Availability

Ensure the sitter can meet your schedule, including holidays, weekends, or overnight needs.

7. Understand Rates & Payment

Clarify fees, overtime charges, and any additional costs (like travel, supplies, or emergency care).

8. Review Emergency Plans

Ask how they handle medical issues, accidents, or other emergencies, including access to your vet.

9. Communication Style

Confirm how often and in what form they’ll provide updates—texts, photos, or reports.

10. Start with a Trial

Consider a short test visit or day before leaving for an extended period to see how your pet responds and assess the sitter’s reliability.
