A little bit about me
Hi guys!! My name is Scout, I have always loved and clicked with kids instantly. I love getting the opportunity to work with kids, especially since I’m the youngest sibling and never got any younger siblings like I wish I would’ve! I always put in an effort to truly get to know the kids and understand them, all of my friends that have younger siblings I have always managed to be their best buddies! Kids are just filled with so much joy and pureness and I value it so much. If you want and need someone you can trust with your kids and someone who cares about the relationship with your kids but also YOU parents, then let’s figure this out together! I love babysitting, anything outdoors like hiking, dirt biking, snowboarding, and camping! Grew up in a super outdoorsy family!

A little bit about me
Hi! I’m a 21-year-old who is passionate about childcare, and I truly love creating a happy and safe environment for children. I have extensive experience with infants and older kids, as I grew up caring for my two younger sisters. This is my primary job, and I am fully committed to the well-being of every family I work with.
I consider myself a very responsible, patient, and caring person. I always focus on understanding and supporting each child’s unique personality.
I’m a big believer in a healthy lifestyle, so I enjoy cooking nutritious meals and organizing fun, creative activities. I have my own car with a clean driving record and offer flexible availability. I am a native Spanish speaker and I am also studying English intensively. I would love to connect with a family who values trust, dedication, and kindness! 😊

"Martina was fantastic with our 9 month old baby. She is very kind, warm, and engaging with children! She follows instructions well and is very easy to talk to about any changes needed. Although her time with us was short (due to moving), we will miss her so much!! She was by far one of the best nannies we’ve had! And if she returns to NC we are eager to rehire her!"

"Elana is reliable, engaging and fun! She is patient and great at navigating toddler emotions. She brings interesting and educational activities and my child can’t wait for her to arrive each time. One of our favorites was when Elana helped my child plan an Olympics for his neighborhood friends, including delivering invites, planning events and making medals to give out!"

A little bit about me
I’m an educator who wants to get involved with my community. At 16 I got a position at my local art center. I ran art classes for elementary school aged children and during the summer, I instructed art camps for children ages 2-15 years old. I supplemented my work by dedicating 100 hours each year until I graduated volunteering with kids. Post high school from 18-19, I have taught 2-3 year olds as a preschool teacher for two school years where I identified and managed mental and behavioral health, potty trained students, and taught educational and emotional development. When I moved to Chicago 19, I became an assistant teacher and worked in two classrooms at the same school with infants 0-2 and 4-5 year olds. When the school year ended, I started at the Chicago Children’s Museum as a Play and Learning Facilitator and an art workshop instructor for the season until I became a store manager at 21 years old. I am currently still 21 ready to leave store management and work with kids again.

Hello my name is Julie, I'm currently a nanny/House manager for a family of two children in Glenview, mother decided after maternity that she wanted to go part time and no longer need to full-time help. I have over 25 years of experience as a career nanny. I have worked in many different settings, with newborns, multiples, toddlers and up. I'm a very hands-on nanny, love outdoor activities as much as possible year round, I feel outdoors is better than sitting on electronics inside. I will bring my own crafts, age-appropriate/curriculum to work with the children preparing them for school. My tasks are keeping the children's clothing, bedrooms and bathrooms clean a bit around the house. Groceries, dry-cleaning, Drop off and pick ups.
