  • 13 years paid experience
  • Babysitter in Chicago, IL 60621

Meet Khaliah

  • Early Childhood Special Education Certification
  • Comfortable with pets

‼️PLEASE READ BIO‼️ I hope all is well, as of now, I'm only available on Saturdays and Sundays only ( open availability is up for discussion). I do not accept last minute bookings, and we must have a phone interview followed by an in-person interview before requesting care from me. I ask all parents to give me at least a 48-72 hour notice before booking service. I share 13 beautiful years caring for children from Newborn-School age and I love working alongside parents helping to enhance their children cognitive, social, and emotional development. Reaching milestones, using hands-on recreational and educational activities and building strong relationships to ensure a safe, fun, and comfortable work environment. A typical day for me once you reach out we will have a phone or video interview discussing important information regarding your child. I will also share with you some amazing experiences I've had caring for Read more children. After our phone discussion, I will then send over at least 2-3 professional references. If you decide I'm a good fit or will like to do a work trial, we will then set up a time and place to meet. Rather its at your home, where you will be showing me around giving me details such as your childs daily routine, showing me where bathrooms are, what area the children plays in the home the most, diaper changing areas, what to do and not to do in your home, any restrictioned areas, ect. If you prefer to have a in-person interview over phone or local places such as a Starbucks or dunkin donuts we can do that as well and no worries coffee and donuts on me! This is to ensure both parents and I are on the same page and children are comfortable and familiar with me. Once everything is set and stone you will then let me know the times you will need care. I will then confirm your request and keep you updated on my arrival time. I always arrive at least 15-30 mins early for all bookings request. I will then engage with children throughout the day, keeping a daily activity log, and send cute pictures and videos throughout the day to show how much fun your child or children are having. Understand I take my job very seriously so your children are in the best hands when under my care, so if you're interested please reach out to me at (872)-288-2261. Thank you! Looking forward to meeting you and your family!

Khaliah helped us last minute when we really needed it. She was extremely sweet with our little boy, and very thoughtful and considerate while in our home. While our kiddo is in daycare and we don’t need regular support, I’m excited for the opportunity to have Khaliah watch our kiddo again!!

Khaliah currently watches my 5 year old son with special needs. She keeps me up to date with pictures and videos of his day to day activities. She is very nurturing and caring when it comes to his care. I am so glad we found her.

Khaliah is a confident, caring and fun carer. She has cared for my 2 boys (1 year old and the other 6 months at the time) and I feel so comfortable and at ease knowing that she is caring for them. Highly recommend!

Khaliah cared for my two children for two months starting back in January- March 15th. Ken who is 3 years old and Kennedy age 4 months. She was absolutely amazing with the both of them. She brings a calming presence taking charge and keep the kids engaged with age appropriate activities. She is trustworthy, very reliable and communicative. I enjoyed the daily activity log she kelp to monitored their schedule. I loved the cute videos and pictures she updated my wife and I throughout the day. I recommend Khaliah to all parents and hope they'll able to see the attentive nurturing care she provides for children!

Khaliah was great. She was with our 18 month old son for the full day, and things went so smoothly. She was so thoughtful upon arrival, offering to take shoes off and washing her hands immediately. She asked questions to make sure she had all the right instructions including asking about his favorite activities. She took notes throughout the day, and sent me a few text message updates with videos and photos. Even though it was her first time meeting my son, he ate breakfast, lunch and went down for a nap like a champ. He was clearly comfortable with her. Definitely will be booking again!

We had a wonderful experience! Khaliah communicated ahead of time, showed up on time with a big smile and had with a bag of fun things like bubbles/paint. Also brought a little speaker with lights that changed color and a solid kids-jam mix, of course dance parties occurred throughout the day. Khaliah also led outside play time games.

Khaliah communicated before our appointment to introduce herself and ask if there is anything she should know about the kids. She arrived on time and was enthusiastic meeting the kids. She did tidy up a bit. She played a couple of games with them, however I do feel like she relied too much on IPad and screen time during the 6 hours. After I asked her to take away the iPads from the kids (since they already had IPad time before she arrived) she let them back on them a second time and they were still on them when I came home 2 hours later. This was in addition to the movie they watched, too.

Khaliah was great! It was my first time using Chime so I was a little nervous but she texted me right away to see if I had any questions. She showed up right on time. She is super nice, has a very calming spirit and knows a ton about babies. I knew my baby was in great hands! I will definitely be using her again!

She was so great with my LO! I had never used this app before and had never left my LO with anyone but her grandparents, so I was pretty nervous. Khaliah had such a calming energy and my LO took right to her which put me at complete ease. She even sent me pics and updates throughout the day. I was very pleased!

Khaliah was great. She arrived on time and was very comfortable with my twins who are special needs (autism). I would love to use her again but we were only visiting Chicago.
