  • 12 years paid experience
  • Babysitter in Chicago, IL 60624

Meet Khaliah

  • Early Childhood Special Education Certification
  • Comfortable with pets

Availability I ask that all requests are made known 48-72 hour ahead of time. That way I can properly prepare myself, and accommodate the needs and wants for you and your family. I do not drive, I ride public transportation, so I will only commute for 45 minutes to 1 hour. I'm willing to travel a distance if you are willing to discuss Uber or Lyft expenses. I'm available 2-3 days out of a week from 9:00am- 6pm ( I'm willing to work earlier if you are close) and Saturdays from 4:00pm-10:00pm. Bookings/Request A phone interview is required for all requests made. During our phone discussion, I want to know important information regarding your child or children ( Kids names, age, interest, allergies/medications, disciplinary actions, daily routine, etc.). I will also share with you my 11 wonderful years caring for youth from Infancy-School age! I will send my resume and Read more references via email after our phone discussion. Orientation After our phone discussion an orientation is required, please note that through Sittercity anyone can make an account. I've been with them for 7 years and I had my share of scammers. So I ask that we set a day and time for us to meet to get an idea of one another's personality, meeting your child or children, and giving me a tour around your home. Payment I charge 20/hourly and one dollar additional child. The only form of payment I will accept is PayPal or Venmo. I will not accept cash or check, I also expect to be paid once I've finished the sitting and kids are calm enough for the transaction to run smoothly. If you are late there is a sub charge of $25 dollars.

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!

Khaliah was very communicative during the entire process, from moments after booking her and throughout the day with my 4 year old son. She is very patient and has a calming presence.

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.
