A little bit about me
I’m 25 and looking for a part-time nannying role because I genuinely love being around kids. I work full-time as an art director for STATE Bags, where I frequently work with children at photoshoots and give back events, but I miss the joy of babysitting. I live in Chicago with my playful 2-year-old golden retriever and would love the chance to spend more time with little ones!

A little bit about me
I have been babysitting since I was in 7th grade, I love spending time with children and meeting new families. I worked at an at home day care on my block for about a year and I loved every part of it. I also just recently taught English to young children in Bali and realized that I have a huge passion for education.

A little bit about me
Hello! My name is Kaleigh and I am a patient, trustworthy and energetic 24-year-old babysitter. As the oldest sibling of a large family, I know how crucial it is that every child feels emotionally supported and intellectually stimulated. Over the years, I have had the privilege of babysitting for families with children ranging from toddlers to preteens. My focus is on giving your child a safe space to explore, make mistakes and engage with their senses and the world around them.
I believe that nannying is about more than just supervising kids: it's about getting down to their level and meeting them where they are through hands-on play and learning experiences. I am patient but firm and will strive to communicate and work with you on developing responses that are in line with your parenting style and addressing any challenges your child may face. I would love a job where I can collaborate with parents to help their children grow into the amazing humans I know they are meant to be!

A little bit about me
I am a qualified nanny with years of experience caring for children between the ages of 1 and 13. In addition to my childcare experience, I am currently assisting in the care of my elderly grandfather, who has dementia, which has deepened my sense of empathy and patience. Over the years, I have developed a strong understanding of the importance of play in a child's development and maintain strict boundaries around TV watching to encourage creativity and active engagement. As an artist, I value the role of imagination and creative expression in children’s lives. While I always prioritize listening to and respecting parents' rules, I firmly believe in working as a team to create a nurturing, supportive environment for the children in my care.
