The most important part about being a nanny...
I love working with kids! I wanted to be a teacher since I was a little girl, but then the pandemic hit and my perspective changed. Not my love and desire to teach children, but the current climate and politics of the teaching industry. I've found I can still do what I love, which is nurturing, empowering, and educating the future generation, as a nanny.

Babysitter Available in Chicago, IL: Kara M.
Hi! I'm Kara, and caring for children has been a constant throughout my life. As the middle of five children, I grew up helping care for my twin younger sisters from the time they were born, and that love for childcare naturally grew into babysitting and nannying.
I started as a mother's helper in fifth grade and continued nannying throughout college, caring for families with 1–6 children ranging from newborns to teenagers. Most recently, I've spent the past several months caring primarily for infants and toddlers (6 months to 3 years old).
Professionally, I've spent the past 10+ years in business development and leadership roles before recently launching my own boutique travel company. Building my business has given me the flexibility to return to nannying—something I've genuinely missed and always found incredibly rewarding. I'm dependable, patient, organized, and committed to creating a safe, fun, and nurturing environment where children can thrive.
