Hello! Nice to meet you :) I’m Sabrina and I’m a childcare provider and professional contemporary dancer based in Chicago, IL! I’ve been working with children since 2018 and after graduating from New York University with a BFA in Dance and a minor in Business in 2024, I’ve worked as a nanny, dance educator and childcare provider around the Chicagoland area. In Chicago, I’ve worked for BASH Kids Club, an after care provider specializing in the arts, in addition to nannying and babysitting various children around the city. In New York, I acted as a nanny and personal assistant for a family in Brooklyn regularly on weekday mornings and would complete daily household tasks such as laundry, dishes and errands. I also worked for a variety of families on an as-needed basis in the NYC area. I pride myself on being responsible, punctual and friendly and often complete various household tasks such as laundry, meal preparation and dishes. I'm all about making your life as a parent easier!

A little bit about me
Hello, I am a Michigan State graduate and also a nurse! I am currently between nursing jobs and would love to help families in need while I have the spare time and could use a little extra income. I will be spending a lot of time in the West Loop but do not live there permanently. So looking for a few days a week and some weekend days. I have experience with paid babysitting a 4 month old, 1 year old, 2 year old, 4 year old, and 5 year old. I also can help with household tasks too!
I love the outdoors, making crafts, reading, trying new snacks, watching movies, and walks. I also love pets!
I am CPR certified and have worked with pediatrics as a nurse as well.

"Peggy has been an integral part of my life for many years, first as my nanny and then as a member of my family. I am 40 years old, and we still keep in regular contact because she is family. Her dedication, kindness, and unwavering commitment to my well-being left an indelible mark on my life. Peggy's ability to create a nurturing and structured environment made our home feel like a safe space. She was always patient, attentive, and responsive, ensuring that I felt supported and cared for every day.
Peggy has a natural gift for connecting with children, and she consistently demonstrated compassion, warmth, and an incredible work ethic. She was always proactive, helping with household tasks, organizing activities, and encouraging learning and development. Her genuine interest in fostering a positive and engaging environment helped shape me into the person I am today.
My wife and I have a three-year-old son and if we lived in Chicago today, we wouldn’t hesitate to hire Peggy immediately."

"I hired Sean to be my assistant my home based -preschool. He worked during the summer months while he was home for college. The children and I really loved having him here with us. He works diligently.. He was always here on time every day. He would get so many things done during the time he was here. He would cook the meals for us clean up the kitchen. Take the children outside to play. Sean ran to the store for me. He would help set up our learning activities he would decorate for any celebrations that we had, He was so patient with them. I was able to give him a task and he would get it done before it was even expected. Would make sure that everything was safe and structured well for the kids Sean always listen to what I need from him and he was able to deliver it, I have not been able to find anyone that works so well with the children and everything that came along with taking care of them as he did. Sean is a wonderful uncle to his nieces. He is really a blessing and missed."
