A little bit about me

Hi there! I’m Kim — a caring, creative, and dependable caregiver with a deep love for children and supporting families. I’ve been a big sister, a foster mom, and a “bonus auntie” to many, and I truly believe in nurturing kids with patience, playfulness, and a sense of safety.

I have experience with children of all ages, including those with special needs. I’m attentive, flexible, and great at meeting kids where they’re at emotionally and developmentally. Whether it’s reading books, doing crafts, helping with homework, or just making snack time a little extra fun — I bring calm, heart, and structure into the home.

I’m currently moving to the West Loop area and looking for part-time or occasional nanny work. I’m happy to help with light tidying, meals, pet care, or anything that supports the rhythm of your family life. I understand how sacred your children are, and I promise to treat them with the same care I would my own.

A little bit about me

Hi, I am a 22 year old looking for something to do on my free time. I usually babysat for my auntie's friends. I am the oldest of 3, so I know how it is to care for younger people. I love being an older sister. I am currently a full-time worker, but I am trying to get back into school and really focus on my future.

A little bit about me

My name is Madison Kelly. I am a recent graduate from The Ohio State University with a Bachelors degree in English Education and I am planning a move to Chicago in early August. I have been babysitting since I was 14 years old, and a summer nanny to the same family for the last 4 summers. I am dedicated to creating a nurturing, protective, and intellectually stimulating environment to all children that I work with. My life goal has always been to work with children in some way, and create positive and meaningful relationships. Being a nanny and babysitter is my favorite job, and I would love to continue after my move.
