A little bit about me
Hi! I'm Olivia, a 19 yo student currently living in East Pilsen. I love working with kids, and am also happy to assist with homework, pet care, cooking, and housework. My 5+ years of experience in childcare, as well as 3+ years in retail, have molded me into a responsible person and worker who can thrive in high-stress environments. I love reading, nature, writing, and all sorts of crafting. As far as rates, I am extremely flexible and happy to accommodate a family's financial needs. I speak French conversationally and understand basic Spanish, but am always looking to learn more.

I am also available for occassional date night help, just as long as I have a 1-2 week notice to make sure my partner and I don't have anything planned. BA in Biology from Wesleyan University, MA in Biomedical Sciences from Roosevelt University, Certified NLP Master Trainer. I love to mentor, coach & assist with projects & homework as well. I used to tutor while in school so I am very open and willing to support with that where needed.

Hello! My name is Ari and I am so excited to work with your family! I am 25 years old from East Stroudsburg, PA. I moved to Chicago a year ago and have been loving it. I love the outdoors and exploring, as well as building a fort and watching movies on a rainy day. Aside from being a nanny, I have worked in theatre since I was 7 years old. By 15 years old, I was stage manager for my local theatre's children shows. I managed between 10-30 kids at a time with ages ranging between 4-13 years old. I held this position for 3 years. Working with kids is so much fun. I love teaching and watching them grow. I hope to have the opportunity to work with your family!
