More About Me
Relevant experience where I also cared for children were...
I was lucky enough to work in a early childhood education center, where I was a co-lead teacher for children aged 2-3. I worked to ensure the safety and development of my students by implementing developmentally appropriate and engaging activities and experiences on a daily basis. Collaboration with families was also an incredibly important factor, in order to ensure strong communication surrounding their children.
Activities I enjoy doing with children...
I love prioritizing creative activities with children, where exploration and discovery is centered. Developmentally appropriate arts & crafts, outdoor play, and sensory exploration are all wonderful approaches!
The most important part about being a nanny...
Providing the children with effective, exciting, and comprehensive care that works to foster development, socio-emotional skills, and a foundation for their lives. It is also important to provide parents and caregivers with the knowledge and comfort that their children are well taken care of and supported on a daily basis.
My experience with special needs children...
I spent time working as a behavioral technician, where I focused on implementing individualized behavioral plans for young children with autism spectrum disorder (ASD). I provided in home, one-on-one therapy sessions that focused on fostering the development of socialization, communication, and daily living skills. Collaboration with families and caregivers was also an integral part of this role, in order to ensure therapeutic goals were centered on a daily basis.
The most important part about being a nanny...
My favorite nanny moment has to be asking my previous family if the children would be interested in being the flower girls in my upcoming wedding. I worked with the twin girls and their parents for 4 years, which cemented them as important people in my professional and personal life. The girls are so excited, and I am so proud to have them involved in my wedding!

Babysitter Available in Chicago, IL: Abbeli W.
Hi! My name is Abbeli, and I’m currently a sophomore at DePaul University studying Economics. I’m a responsible, caring, and patient person who genuinely enjoys spending time with children.
I have experience caring for my younger brother throughout middle school, as well as babysitting my cousins. I’ve also helped tutor them, taught them how to write, and spent time playing games and coming up with fun activities. I love creating a fun, comfortable environment where kids feel happy and cared for.
I’ve always gotten along well with children, and babies especially seem to love me! They often end up falling asleep on my lap, which I think is the sweetest thing. I’m patient, attentive, and enjoy building connections with the children I care for.
I’m currently looking for babysitting opportunities and would love to connect with families who need an extra helping hand. Feel free to message me with any questions!

Full-Time Nanny Available in Chicago, IL: Stephanie I.
Hello! My name is Stephanie and I would love to help out your family!
Previously I nannied for a family in Uptown for three and a half years, but they moved at the end of last year and I have been working temporary nanny jobs since then. I have over 15 years of childcare behind me. I babysat on my own for several years growing up, and for the past 10 years have been working for an agency in the city. I have experience in all ages, but infants and newborns are my favorite. I am a huge fan of gentle/authoritative parenting and believe a happy child comes from communication and treating your little one as human while still setting boundaries and guiding them in the right direction. My biggest goal is to keep your kid(s) happy, healthy, and having fun. I love going for walks, listening and dancing to music together, and chatting the day away with babies, all while maintaining a structured routine. Please reach out if you think we'd be a good fit. I look forward to hearing from you!
