A little bit about me

Hi - my name is Kiara and I am currently a sophomore at Chamberlain University - college of Nursing. I am a certified nursing assistant and also have a certification in MA and EKG. I am also CPR certified. I’ve worked for multiple nursing homes and NorthShore University HealthSystem in Evanston, IL. In addition, I’ve been working with children since I was 14, I started by watching my siblings when they were younger and then progressed into watching children in my neighborhood. I’ve worked with children of all ages. Over the past few years, I’ve primarily worked with infants and toddlers, thought I am comfortable with children of any age. I like to do puzzles and play board games with children, as it keeps them interested. I also enjoy taking children on walks when it’s nice outside, so they are able to get some type of physical activity in. In my free time, I enjoy cooking, reading, and drawing.

A little bit about me

Hi! I'm Lina. I've always loved being around kids. I have experience working in a clinic with children of different ages and needs, and I'm super close with my baby niece, so I know how to handle everything from diapers to dance parties.

I'm big on creating a fun, safe space where kids can be themselves and grow. Whether it's playing games, helping with routines, or just being someone they can feel comfortable around, I'm all about making sure they feel supported and happy.

I'd love to help out and be someone you can count on with your little ones!

A little bit about me

Hi! I am Abbie. I am BLS certified and have 3-4 years of nanny experience ages 0-10.

I have a wide range of interests, and those closest to me would likely call me an adventure seeker. I love to try new things, spend time outside, and (sometimes) get a little messy. In my free time, you can find me reading, watercoloring, going on walks, or hanging with my friends.

Your kids would be in the best hands with me. I love to help them with school, spend time outside, watch movies, and teach them sports. I am also happy to help if you have any cats or dogs in the house and am willing to clean/tidy throughout the day.

I am a strong communicator, on-time, and intentional person and will provide you with daily updates if desired. Thank you for considering me!
