Hello! My name is Yuli and I am 28. I was a daycare teacher at Kids N’ Care from 2017-2020. I graduated from Alverno College with my Bachelor’s degree in social work and medical interpreting in May 2020. I was hired by Rogers Behavioral Health as a residential counselor and worked there for 1.5 years. I graduated from Concordia University in May 2023 with a Master's in Social Work. I worked as a licensed social worker for Child Protective Services in Waukesha County from 2021-2026. I am currently employed as a Medical Social Worker for Aurora! I have been caring for children for over 8 years now and I confidently say your children will be in great hands. Although I work full time, I like to babysit on the side for extra money (I’m now planning my wedding!) I am comfortable with all pets. I have a dog named Oliver and two cats named Leonidas and Tugboat. On my free time I enjoy hanging out with my fiancé or friends, going out for iced coffee or taking Oliver to the dog park. I am only available friday-sundays as I work full time. I tend to be available for last minute babysitting for date night/weddings, etc. I am only comfortable babysitting 3 children or less. Please reach out for any questions! I look forward to hearing from you. -Yuli M.

Hi I’m Claire! I graduated form UW-Madison in 2025 and am now a first year medical student at MCW. I am available nights and weekends starting now, and am looking for a family who will need me occasionally or regularly, and is able to be flexible around my school schedule. I worked as an EMT for 3 years (and plan to continue throughout school), so I have not only the training, but real world experience in CPR, first aid, and pediatric advanced life support. I started babysitting in middle school and am comfortable with all ages. I am especially experienced with infants, toddlers, and children with neurodivergent conditions (NVLD and autism specifically). I am here to help your family in any way, so I am more than happy to help with homework, cooking, driving, chores, pets, and any anything else that would lighten your load. My focus is making sure your kid(s) have a fun, safe environment in which to grow and learn. Please let me know if you’d like to call or meet. Thank you!

Claire was truly one of the best babysitters we have ever had. From the moment she arrived, she was completely present and engaged with our 4-year-old son. She was incredibly attentive, responsible, and genuinely invested in making his time with her both fun and meaningful. What impressed us most was how intentional she was. She was never distracted by her phone and instead spent her time interacting with him, encouraging his curiosity and helping him develop problem-solving skills. She created an obstacle course through our yard that he absolutely loved, and she consistently came up with creative, active ways to keep him engaged. Claire was also incredibly kind and respectful. She treated our dogs with so much affection, was thoughtful and helpful around the house, and always left us feeling confident that everything was being taken care of. She has a calm, dependable presence that immediately put us at ease. We trusted Claire completely and always looked forward to having her with our family. We are genuinely sad that she relocated, as we would have continued working with her every chance we could. We cannot recommend her highly enough to any family looking for an exceptional caregiver.

Hello! I have been in childcare since I graduated from high school in 2013. While in school for a Bachelors in History from UW Whitewater, I served as a nanny for three different families. After moving back home to attend Cardinal Stritch for an MA in Teaching, I took a position at the Boys & Girls Clubs of Washington County. From 2019 to fall of this past year, I was promoted three times, and ended my employment as a unit director there due to moving to Milwaukee. While there and in school, I became an expert in child development, activity planning, and implementation. I am also CPR and first aid certified. Since leaving the Clubs, I spent a year and a half in the daycare field. As a result of this, I have all my early education licensure. I have been back in private childcare for three years now because I love the personal aspect to it, and it aligns more with my life at the moment. I look forward to the opportunities provided here and forming relationships with all my families and kiddos!

Amazing sitter/nanny. Has watched my kiddos for many years. She is the highlight of my daughters days. From dance parties to "drivethru" games and kitchen play she always keeps my daughters playing and busy. So much fun and imaginative play. She is patient, kind, supportive and loves to go on adventures both through reading and in person. You can't go wrong with using Elizabeth to watch your sweet babies.

Hello! With over 16 years of professional childcare experience, I specialize as an Infant Care Specialist, supporting families through the important early stages of their child's development. My expertise includes infant care, healthy sleep foundations, feeding support, developmental milestones, establishing consistent routines, and creating customized schedules that help both infants and parents thrive. I have extensive experience working with both domestic and international families, providing discreet, professional, and personalized care. I am comfortable supporting dynamic household environments, maintaining confidentiality, collaborating with household staff, and adapting to each family's unique parenting style and lifestyle needs. In addition to infant care, I have significant experience caring for multiple children of varying ages. I excel at creating structure within busy households while ensuring each child receives individualized attention and developmentally appropriate support. My approach is warm, hands-on, and engaging. I encourage learning through play, creativity, outdoor exploration, music, art, cooking activities, and educational outings that foster confidence, curiosity, and independence. Throughout my career, I have accompanied families on domestic and international travel, ski holidays, weddings, hotel stays, seasonal relocations, and extended vacations. Whether providing overnight support, temporary full-time coverage, travel assistance, or short-term care while families search for a permanent caregiver, I offer flexible, reliable support tailored to each family's needs. My background includes leading children's art and theatre programs through YMCA programs in California and Wisconsin. Families consistently describe me as calm, dependable, adaptable, and genuinely invested in their children's well-being and development. I am also happy to assist with children's meal preparation, maintaining routines, bedtime support, and organizing children's spaces. Please note that I have a 5-hour booking minimum. Rates vary based on the age and number of children, scheduling requirements, evenings, overnights, and travel. If you are seeking an experienced Infant Care Specialist who brings warmth, expertise, discretion, and structure to your family, I would be delighted to connect with you.

Laylah was great with our kids. We have two boys (2 and 3.5 years old.. and they can be a handful). Laylah was supportive to them and was great at keeping them engaged. Highly recommend!

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ 5/5 – Absolutely Amazing Babysitter! We feel incredibly lucky to have found Rhodesia! From the moment she walked through the door, she brought a sense of calm, confidence, and warmth that immediately put both us and our child at ease. Rhodesia is not only professional and reliable, but she also has a natural way with kids that’s truly special. Our children adore her – she engages them with creative activities, encourages learning through play, and always ensures they're safe, happy, and well cared for. She communicates clearly and consistently, keeps us updated, and always arrives on time. It’s clear she genuinely enjoys being with children and takes her role seriously. We’ve had several babysitters over the years, and Rhodesia stands out as one of the very best. We trust her completely and highly recommend her to any family looking for someone dependable, nurturing, and simply wonderful with kids. Thank you, Rhodesia – you’re a gem!

Hi! My name is Sophia, and I’m a nursing student going into my senior year at UWM. I am a certified assistant daycare teacher and have 4+ years of experience working with children as I’ve been in a daycare setting since age 14. I have also been a CNA for about 5 years now and work at Children’s Hospital. I primarily work with infants but have plenty of experience working with children up to 5K in classroom settings as well. I’m hoping to work with a family at an occasional status who is willing to work around my class and work schedule :)

Hi! I just moved to Mooresville, NC. Back in Wisconsin I had over 15+ families I cared for from 8 weeks until 13 yrs old. I'm a caregiver with a decade of experience looking after children of all ages, and I'm eager to meet you and your family. I'm passionate about helping children learn, grow, and thrive. In my previous roles, I've been praised for my patience, creativity, and calm approach. I believe in open and frequent communication with parents, and I'm always happy to discuss your child's day or any concerns you may have. I'm very comfortable enforcing household rules and routines. I love playing all sorts of games with children, from active outdoor games to educational board games. I firmly believe that play is essential for a child's development. I hold current CPR training and am willing to help with cooking, light housekeeping, travel, and swimming supervision. I speak both English and Spanish. I hope to have the opportunity to care for your children and be a positive influence in their lives.

My son is 6 years old and after one day with Adriana she was his favorite nanny. Adriana played with him, talked with him, and sharpened his thinking skills just by moving through the day with him. My household is very busy; there are many things to do in a short amount of time. Adriana was able to accomplish everything while staying attentive to my son. She is just an amazing and neat person. I enjoyed meeting her, speaking with her, and entrusting my child and household to her.

Hi! I’m Kaitlin, a mom of three boys (14, 9 and 1 1/2) in West Allis. Raising children from the infant years through the teenage years has given me plenty of hands-on experience with different ages, personalities, and routines. I also worked in school health rooms for the Waukesha and South Milwaukee school districts, providing first aid, administering authorized medications, helping students when they weren’t feeling well, and communicating with parents. I make sure I stay up-to-date with my first-aid and CPR certifications so my mind is always sharp in the time of need. I enjoy helping children feel comfortable, supported, and safe. I’m attentive, dependable, and comfortable with diaper changes, meal preparation, before-school routines, and keeping children engaged with age-appropriate activities. As a parent myself, I understand how important it is to find someone you can trust with your children. I have my own reliable vehicle and am looking for a family nearby who needs consistent daytime care.
