A little bit about me

Hi! My name is Jiselle, I'm a 16 year old sophomore looking for a part-time job to help me save up for college. I love working with children from a variety of ages; I'm usually the go-to person my family chooses to babysit. With that being said I have lots of experience and can tend to every one of your child's needs. I am super friendly and energetic: I would be more than happy to meal prep, clean up, and do fun learning activities with any of your children. I am currently enrolled in an allied health class at my school and I recently got my CPR certification. In addition, we are learning about child development and safety procedures to ensure I can tend to anyone in case of emergency. I would be a great asset to your life as well as your children, and I will always put 100% effort to do my best at my job. I am quick on my feet, a great multitasker, and I have up to date knowledge on child care. Please feel free to contact me and ask questions. Have a great day !

A little bit about me

I am 48 years old with two kids of my own: a girl age 23 years old, and a son who is 29 years old. I am no longer needed at home, and I have had a past of nannying! I just stopped because my daughter needed someone to drive her to her activities (swimming practice, viola practice, music school, water polo practice, and school).

I love children. I have experience raising two kids, so I’d be great with handling babies! I’m also very punctual and am willing to live in the house, if need be. I am looking to work full time. I have a perfect driving record, and don’t mind driving if I need to. I’m very excited to grow with your family, as I plan to be in this job for the long run!

Thank you for reading this, and may God bless you in your search! If you would like to contact me, my phone number is: [phone number hidden].

A little bit about me

Hi there! My name is Jamie and I work in Influencer Marketing in the Loop. Aside from my 9-5, I have a passion for the arts, literature, and music, but most of all, a passion for making connections. I have had a few years working as a nanny/babysitter, as well as years volunteering in the youth ministry of my church for children in 1st-8th grade. My younger sister says I'm the best nanny she's ever had (though I'm sure she's just a bit biased)! I would love to get to know you and your families, as spending time with kids is no longer a part of my usual routine, but I would love to get back to it. Thanks for the consideration!

A little bit about me

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. Being around kids has been a big part of my life, and it’s what inspired me to go into this field. I have babysitting experience where I kept children engaged with activities, maintained a clean and safe environment, and communicated well with both kids and parents. I’m patient, responsible, and very attentive, and I genuinely enjoy creating a fun, supportive space where children feel comfortable and cared for. Being a nanny is a great opportunity for me to continue doing what I love while gaining experience that aligns with my future career.
