I’m currently a pre-nursing student at UIC planning to pursue a career in pediatrics or the NICU, because I’ve always loved working with children and caring for others.

Jawana J. - Seeking Work in Chicago

Babysitter Available in Chicago, IL: Jawana J.

I’m Jaye—a mother of two young women with 15+ years of nanny experience and years in daycare with infants and toddlers. I’ve cared for newborns, infants, toddlers, girls, and children with special needs. I’m CPR certified and have a clean driving record with 10+ years without a ticket or accident.

I love children and enjoy being part of their growth—feeding, naps, play, developmental activities, school routines and outings. I believe children need patience, consistency, attention and care.

I also spent 30+ years as an executive assistant to execs at well known companies. I’m skilled at anticipating needs, managing schedules, solving problems and protecting confidentiality. And then there’s the other side of me: I LOVE babies and children! Strange mix, I know, but I simply love taking care of folks in general.

I can also help with calendars, appointments, transportation, errands, travel, events, laundry and organization.

I’m warm, proactive, discreet and dependable. Let’s talk.
