Migle is a professional babysitter. You can tell she has a large amount of experience babysitting and enjoys what she does. She is easy to communicate with and always arrives on time. My children have easily adjusted to her. When she arrived the first time and I was explaining procedures, she asked questions I hadn't even thought of. That made be feel assured I had picked the right babysitter for my children. They are always eager for her to babysit.

Archana S. provided excellent care for our children. We have a 2 year old and a nearly 4 year old, and Archana has given care for both at once, and one-on-one. She is thorough, dependable, thoughtful and - above all - fun! The kids really enjoyed having her as a caregiver. I will hire her again, and recommend her to you and your children without reservation!
Valerie M.

Hi, I’m Valerie — a caregiver with over 25 years of professional childcare experience, offering calm, attentive, and emotionally intelligent care for children and families. I currently run a childcare program for children ages infant–6 years at Lakeview Presbyterian Church in Lakeview and am an educator with Irving Park Homeschool Group. My work centers on creating safe, nurturing, and thoughtfully structured environments where children feel secure, respected, and genuinely cared for. My approach is rooted in conscious parenting principles: emotional attunement, respectful communication, clear and loving boundaries, and supporting children’s nervous systems so they feel safe to explore, learn, and grow. I pay close attention not only to physical safety, but also to children’s emotional and psychological well-being — the details that truly set high-quality care apart. In my personal life, I’m a homeschooling mother of two pre-teens and an organizer of educational experiences for a homeschool community of approximately 60 families. Managing group dynamics, individual needs, and smooth transitions is second nature to me. I have extensive experience with infants and toddlers bringing a grounded, confident presence to those tender early years. I also enjoy incorporating creative projects, imaginative play, and hands-on learning into the day in a way that feels natural and fun. I’m also very comfortable in homes with pets and consider furry family members an extra bonus. Families who work with me are typically looking for reliable, thoughtful, high-trust care and value experience, professionalism, and emotional intelligence. If that sounds like what you’re seeking, I’d love to connect. Warmly, Valerie

Valerie was wonderful...the boys instantly felt comfortable with her which is rare. My oldest son the next morning woke up telling me how much fun he had with Valerie and reported that she read him 3 books before bed which he was so excited about! Both boys were clearly in caring hands and I came home to a spotless house - a wonderful experience from beginning to end!
