A little bit about me

Hi! I'm Claire. Nice to meet you. To introduce myself, I'm 24, a full-time journalist and part-time cook (at least, my friends and family would say so) and I want to help your family with your childcare needs. I've lived in Chicago for about six years now and have been lucky enough to nanny for various families on and off throughout my adult life. I'd love to meet your family and see if we'd be a good fit for each other!

Hi my name is Jasmin Agudo, I am a mother to two beautiful boys ages 4 and 1 years old. I have had plenty of experience with children from infants to preschool and 9 years old. I used to work at a day care and I also used to be a nanny and watch the kids in their home and also take them to their daily evening activities after school. I am very flexible with times and unexpected call ins when needed.
