Hi! My name is Ana, I’m from Colombia and I am 28 years old. I have been in the USA for almost 4 years.

I love working with babies and toddlers, but I’m very proud of my ability to connect with all ages. I'm a very creative , proactive, respectful and friendly person. I love making crafts, coloring/painting. I like going to outdoor activities and spending time outside such as hiking, playing sports, outside walks, picnics. etc

Please feel free to contact me, I am happy to provide more information about my experience and reference upon request.

Hi there!

My most recent childcare position was as a live-in nanny in Santa Monica where I looked after a one year old and a thirteen year old full time.

I'm now located in Streeterville and available as a babysitter or part time nanny.

I have been looking after children my entire life as well as working at an elementary school before and after school program and at a children's party place called Pump It Up.

I'm more than happy to answer any questions you may have and I look forward to speaking with you!

A little bit about me

Hi Families! My name is Brea. I’m 21 years old. I’m from Chicago born & raised, and I have been a babysitter since I was 16 years old. I’m looking to finally take on nannying as a full-time job. I work well with all ages, but I work best with ages 5 and under. I accept pets & light housekeeping as well. My plan with your children is to make their time with me fun and educational. No time should be wasted when it comes to learning! I’m also an advocate for gentle parenting so I will not tolerate households of unhealthy parenting behaviors. I want to not only give your kids the best experience, but you as the guardian as well. I’m available for immediate start so please reach out! :)
