More About Me
Activities I enjoy doing with children...
I love creating fun and meaningful moments with kids! Some of my favorite activities include making simple crafts, playing imaginative games, reading storybooks with silly voices, and doing interactive learning activities like counting games or beginner spelling. I also enjoy outdoor play—going on walks, playing at the park, or organizing simple obstacle courses. I believe in encouraging creativity, curiosity, and confidence, so I always try to make our time together both playful and purposeful.
The most important part about being a nanny...
To me, the most important part about being a nanny is building a strong, trusting relationship with both the child and the family. It’s not just about watching kids — it’s about helping them feel safe, loved, and supported while encouraging their growth and confidence. I believe being consistent, patient, and respectful is key. Children thrive when they feel understood and cared for, and I take that responsibility seriously. It’s a joy to be a positive role model in their lives, even in the smallest everyday moments.

Live-In Part-Time Nanny Available in Des Plaines, IL: Lizeth L.
I really love taking care of children! I am in high-school and for a while have been taking care of children! My baby brother who is now 18 months can walk and talk and I take care of him when my mother leaves for work. I babysit a 7 year old boy, 10 year old boy, 12 year old girl occasionally and get paid during my hours in the night time. I am taking Preschool Practicum in high-school and know how to clean up after kids and know how to cook and bake from taking Culinary, Baking & Pastry and now Gourmet. I also do wrestling on the side in the winter and I would love to babysit during my free time after work or when im not working. I also work at Culver's part time.
Babysitter Available in Des Plaines, IL: Miriam C.
Hi! My name is Miriam. I am a creative, patient, and detail-oriented nanny who genuinely enjoys spending time with children. I am newer to nannying, but I have a little 9-year old brother (the age gap between us being 14 years!) who is my best friend and who I spend a lot of time with. I have also worked with children ages 8-11 for violin lessons, and still do (for about 2 years now).
By background, I am a graphic designer, having freshly graduated from the University of Illinois Chicago with a bachelor's in graphic design. This background enables me to bring a lot of hands-on creativity to my time with kids, such as craft projects, storytelling/reading books, drawing, and more.
A few things families can count on from me: dependability, clear communication, and genuine warmth. I want your children to feel excited when I show up and I want you to feel at ease leaving them with me.
I am most comfortable working with children ages 1-10 and my availability includes weekdays only.
