Zaria W.
- 8 years paid experience
- 14 miles
Hi there! My name is Zaria and I’m a childcare professional with over eight years of experience working with children of all ages, from infants to teens. My background includes working as a professional babysitter, full-time nanny, and Registered Behavior Technician (RBT), giving me the skills to support children of all ages and a wide range of personalities and learning styles. I’ve had the joy of caring for children in home and classroom settings, including those with special needs. My time as an RBT gave me valuable experience supporting children with developmental, behavioral, and sensory differences, and it taught me how to create a calm, safe, and positive environment for every child. I approach each day with patience, empathy, and creativity, meeting kids where they are and helping them thrive in their own unique ways. I believe that every child deserves to feel seen, heard, and supported, and I work intentionally to provide a nurturing and inclusive environment. My caregiving philosophy centers on intentional and mindful interactions that help to build trust through empathy, active listening, and positive reinforcement. I believe kids do best when they feel safe, heard, and understood. I also love helping families feel confident that their children are in caring, capable hands. I’ve taken coursework in Child Development, Child Psychology, and Applied Behavior Analysis, which gives me a strong foundation in how children think, learn, and grow. When I’m not working, you can usually find me cooking, reading, writing, singing, or painting. I love bringing those hobbies into my childcare time, whether it’s through baking cookies together, singing songs, or making creative art projects. Overall, I’m passionate about helping children grow into their best selves and I look forward to partnering with families who value intentional, compassionate care.

Devanta I.
- 3 years paid experience

I’m Devanta (Deva), born and raised in Italy. I’ve been babysitter right from when I was 10 till my last summer before I joined the military. After a year and some change of settling in the military life, I’m deciding to reconnect with my past interest. And babysitting is one of them, as it has always been a wonderful experience for me and it keeps me aware of how much of an impact we adults can be to them but also them to us. The age range of children I’ve watched over goes from 08 mo - 5 years old. It would be an honor to work for you

I have about 9-10 years of experience caring for children of all different ages and backgrounds. I have cared for all types of children from children that are on the spectrum to kids with behavioral disorders. I am not new to professional childcare, as I used to work in a daycare when I was in college studying for my business degree. I am very bubbly and have enough energy to keep up with all ages of children and I love to celebrate each child’s self-identity and growth. I love being a sitter because it allows me to show up with patience, warmth, and intention for children during some of their most important years. I have a genuine passion for caring for kids and helping them grow, learn, and feel safe being themselves as they develop. Working with children comes naturally to me, and a lot of that is thanks to my grandmother, who was a special education teacher and my biggest inspiration. Watching her care for children from many different backgrounds and with many different needs taught me empathy, adaptability, and the importance of meeting every child where they are. Her guidance shaped the way I care for children today, and it’s a big reason why working with kids feels so meaningful and fulfilling to me. I am CPR and First Aid trained and bring hands-on, professional experience caring for children of various ages. While in college earning my degree in business, I worked at a daycare, where I supported daily routines and development in a safe, nurturing environment. I am comfortable helping with homework, preparing snacks and meals, leading creative and educational activities and projects, and assisting with potty training as needed. In addition to my professional experience, I have also volunteered at a community youth center in the Illinois area, further strengthening my ability to engage with children positively, responsibly, and with genuine care.
