A little bit about me

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.

A little bit about me

My name is Elle Dejaynes I am 19 years old, I have been babysitting since I was around 13 years old! I absolutely love working with children! I currently hold a job position where safety and awareness of children are my top priority! I taught gymnastics to kids aging from 2-15 and it has by far been my favorite job! I love crafting, playing games, teaching, helping, etc. I know how to cook, clean, change super messy diapers and throw up :) I am a PROUD aunt to 4 young children that absolutely have my heart! Becoming a nanny would be such an honor to me! Letting parents know they can leave their children at home in a very safe and comfortable environment is my biggest goal to accomplish! Being a parent is a superpower and I would love to be apart of your family and team! :)

A little bit about me

Hi, I’m Jamie! I’ve been a babysitter for 11 years, caring for several different families. I also worked as a camp counselor at a day camp for three summers, where I oversaw a group of about 25 seven-year-old girls. Following that, I spent two summers at a sleep away camp, first as an Assistant Unit Director for the youngest girls and later as the Arts and Crafts Director.

I love working with children! During college, I nannied in Bend, OR, for two summers. One summer, I cared for a 4-6-month-old girl, and the other, I looked after a 2-year-old girl and a 7-year-old boy. I kept them busy with trips to the park, swimming, and fun art projects.

I graduated in June 2023 with a double major in Art and Education. Last year, I worked as a K-6 art teacher at a charter school in Chicago.
