A little bit about me



Hi, my name is Rayah, and I’m currently a junior in undergrad studying Finance. I’m a dependable nanny with 10 years of experience caring for children of all ages. As the oldest of three daughters, nurturing and helping others has always come naturally to me. From arts and crafts to homework help, I love keeping little ones engaged, supported, and happy.

One of my most meaningful experiences has been with the Chicago Freedom School—an organization inspired by the Mississippi Freedom Schools of the Civil Rights Era, which empowers young people to create positive social change. While working there, I recognized a need to adapt our curriculum for neurodivergent students and took the initiative to redesign it, resulting in a 62% average improvement in student literacy skills.

I’m excited to bring that same care, creativity, and dedication to a loving family I can support and grow with

Asia M. - Seeking Work in Chicago

Live-In Part-Time Nanny Available in Chicago, IL: Asia M.

I have a 7 year old son and I want to help other people! I love being silly in an educational way and I like to let my son know everything can be educational! I also love when children ask questions so I can explain it to them, but sometimes I shut it down because they don’t need to know the answer at that time! I also like to cook, bake and depending on the child’s age I let them help if they want. No worries they won’t touch the stove!
Gracie C. - Seeking Work in Chicago

Part-Time Nanny Available in Chicago, IL: Gracie C.

Hi my name is Gracie! I am 19 years old and I am currently out for the summer for school and I just finished up my first year of college!
I don’t have much experience in paid babysitting, but growing up around kids my whole life has taught me to take care of kids ages from 0-9 years. For the past 3 summers i’ve been a Recreational Leader at Armour Square Park, and that allows me to work with kids from ages 4-10. I personally love kids myself, walks are fun, car rides are fun, I love being inside and outside (depending on the weather ofc). I am the oldest sibling of 3 so I personally believe I have a lot of experience and responsibilities.
Daniela A. - Seeking Work in Chicago

Live-In Full-Time Child Care Provider Available in Chicago, IL: Daniela A.

Soy una persona cariñosa, paciente y llena de energía positiva. Disfruto compartir tiempo con los niños, guiarlos con amor y ayudarles a aprender y crecer en un ambiente seguro y alegre. Me gusta pensar que ser niñera no solo es cuidar, sino también crear momentos bonitos que los pequeños recordarán con una sonrisa.

Me considero muy responsable, puntual y atenta a cada detalle. Sé mantener la calma en cualquier situación, y siempre busco combinar el juego con el aprendizaje. Me encanta hacer actividades creativas, leer cuentos, enseñar buenos modales y fomentar el respeto y la empatía desde pequeños.

Lo que me distingue es mi capacidad para conectar genuinamente con los niños: los escucho, los entiendo y los hago sentir valorados. Además, mantengo una comunicación abierta y constante con los padres, porque creo que el trabajo en equipo es clave para brindar el mejor cuidado posible. 💕

Kathy Johana A. - Seeking Work in Chicago

Full-Time Child Care Provider Available in Chicago, IL: Kathy Johana A.

my name is Kathy. I’ve been working with kids of different ages for a while now. I’ve taken care of babies I cared for a 2-month-old.
I also have experience working with more than one child at the same time, and with kids of different ages — like taking care of a baby and a toddler together, or helping in classrooms with several children.

I used to work as a teacher assistant in Kindergarten and Daycares, so I’m very comfortable managing different routines and planning activities that match each child’s age and needs, out things like go to the library and the zoo.
I’m a very loving, patient, and organized person. I like to plan activities that help children learn and have fun — for babies, things like tummy time, sensory play, or early stimulation.
I really love what I do, and I always try to create a warm, safe, and happy environment for the children I take care of. I have my CPR certified.
