A little bit about me
I came to the U.S. to Au pair in the suburbs, felt in love got married and continue working with many loving families in the city.
A few things I enjoy doing with the children I am responsible for: visiting parks, pools, zoos, libraries and museums. I love reading as well as doing fun art projects. I enjoy making home made organic meals for kids (including baby meals), do their laundry , I teach in a fun way children to put their toys away and make sure the home looks organized before I leave for the day. I will ensure you are updated daily on how your children’s' day was and be open to any feedback you may have.
I believe it is very important that children interact with others so I am fond of making play dates. Also, I think it is important to expose kids to counting, the alphabet, parts of the body and reading. I have vast experience with children of all ages .I am open to work for a family with pets, I am CPR certified and also trained in baby sign language.

"In her care, our boys (age 1 and 4) were always kept safe, felt loved, and received pampering. She had a never-ending list of activities and fun ideas to do with the boys- swimming, attending museums, curating park picnics, going to the beach, and playing at the park were among the boys’ favorites. We always felt amazing knowing that the boys were safe and that they were able to experience all the wonderful parts of living in Chicago. She also made her apartment a “home away from home” for the boys. They loved going over to swim in her building’s pool and to utilize the hot tub! She communicated around what they were planning to do and ensured they always had all the proper equipment (e.g. sunscreen, bug spray, hats, extra mittens, etc.)
Our boys love her, too! She comforted them , ensured that they tried new foods, and prioritized fun.
Nae will always have a special place in our heart and family and we are grateful that she was the boys’ nanny."

A little bit about me
Hello families! 🩷 I’d love to share a little about myself. I’m a very nurturing, gentle, and warm person who believes in living intentionally and staying connected to nature. I love spending time outdoors, meditating, journaling, reading, yoga, music, and dancing. I’m very outgoing, love having fun, staying active, and learning new things. I’m someone who enjoys finding joy in the little things and bringing positive energy wherever I go. Being a mother is also a beautiful part of who I am, and motherhood has taught me so much about patience, compassion, presence, and seeing the world through a child’s eyes. 💕

A little bit about me
Hi there! I'm a 22-year-old senior in college. I am majoring in political science with an emphasis in legal studies and I am so excited to graduate this spring. Some of my interests include crafting, calligraphy, baking, fashion, and of course, childcare.
I have been a babysitter/nanny for 11 years now, and have worked with over 20 different families. I have experience with kids of all ages, from newborns to pre-teens. I'm not afraid of stinky diapers, baths, or bedtimes. Believe me, I've seen it all! In addition to my experience, I am also a Red Cross Certified Babysitter and am CPR Certified. Most importantly, I love little kiddos and sincerely enjoy getting to meet and connect with new families.
While I am currently attending school in Northern California, I will be moving to the Chicagoland area in mid-August. I am so excited to come back to my roots in the Midwest and I can't wait to find a new family to nanny for along the way.

A little bit about me
When I wasn’t younger , I wold babysit my baby cousins and loved it ! I was the eldest of them all and having a large family with many babies meant I had to be the babysitter but I kept them entertained and never got tired of being with them . I liked babysitting so much that in middle school, I volunteered with the YMCA as a teacher assistant and all my little students became my besties whom I couldn’t wait to see everyday for work . I feel kids need genuine and specific care at all times because they are constantly learning and growing . From previous experience I can say I am great at taking specific instructions, and am also good at taking the initiative and make best decisions during any situation with any child. This isn’t a job this is a passion and an important task. I have beauty school from Monday to Friday from 9AM to 3PM , and am free other than those hours. I hope to see your lovely faces soon 🌞💖

A little bit about me
Hello! I’m a Benedictine graduate fluent in English and Spanish, currently learning Assyrian. I’m looking to babysit for more flexibility to pursue my passions. I have experience caring for three kids—a baby and two in grade school—for a non-related family, plus I grew up in a large family with 14 nieces and nephews. In my family, I am known as the babysitter!
From 2019 to 2022, I nannied two of my nieces while following my sister's preferences, like no TV and specific routines. I enjoy being creative, especially drawing, and I love fostering a positive, fun environment for kids. I also use a Montessori approach to support their individual development.
I’m transitioning from a dental administrative career, and babysitting will allow me to focus on my creative goals. I’m excited about the opportunity to work with your kids!

Hello! My name is Bailey, and I'm a 26-year-old experienced grade school teacher with four years of teaching experience. My Master’s degree in teaching and classroom experience means that I have unique insight into developmental milestones and classroom readiness tools, as well as my CPR certification and exceptional preparedness in case of an emergency. Right after high school I worked as a CNA, so I have a minor background in healthcare as well.
In addition to my work in the classroom, I have a passion for caring for children of all ages, including toddlers as young as 1.5 years old, which I have mainly cared for in the summers between school years. In addition to looking after children, I'm also open to assisting with cleaning duties and meal prep, and I'm a great cook with excellent multitasking skills! I would love to bring my nurturing, educational approach to childcare while ensuring a safe, fun, and learning-filled environment for your little one!
