A little bit about me

I'm a 18 year old collage student in need of another job. I currently work at dunkin donuts and I hate it, I used to babysit my cousin when one was a baby and the other a toddler. I enjoy it and have changed them, fed them and played with them. I wanted to see if I could do this part time while I'm in collage!

Hi! I’m Nicole 😊 I’m originally from San Jose, California and moved to the Chicago suburbs almost three years ago, where I’ve truly fallen in love with the area. I’m currently attending esthetician school Tuesday through Friday and am looking for a part-time nanny or babysitting position.

I’m fully available Mondays (all day) and can also be available Saturdays, as well as Sundays on a case-by-case basis. Sundays are typically a family day for me, but I’m happy to be flexible when needed. I’m dependable, caring, and love creating a safe, fun environment for kids.

Hi! My name is Serena, and I’m a reliable, patient, and caring nanny who truly enjoys working with children. I have experience caring for kids of different ages and love creating a safe, fun, and engaging environment where they can learn and grow.

I’m very attentive and responsible, and I understand how important it is for parents to feel comfortable and confident in who they trust with their children.

I’m also open to helping with light housekeeping, meal prep, and maintaining a clean, organized space for your family. Communication is important to me, so I make sure to keep parents updated and involved.

I would love the opportunity to support your family and care for your little ones like they’re my own!

A little bit about me

Hi! My name is La’Ni Williams. I’ve been working with kids for about five years now, including nannying a 2-year-old full-time for eight months (10 hours a day, Monday–Friday). I absolutely loved that job, but the family moved away. Before that, I worked at two daycares, including KinderCare, so I’m very comfortable with all ages and staying on top of routines.

I also have my childcare certificates and can provide them if needed. I really enjoy working with kids and would love to talk more about the position!
