A little bit about me

I am a independent 15 year old, I've been babysitting for about a year now. I make sure I take care of children, keep them safe and clean, and plan meals for them. I also organize creative and educational activities based on their age. I'm taking drivers ed classes now but I have reliable transportation from place to place from my father who I would introduce you'all to. He always would know what i'm doing and where I am for safety and emergencies. I attend Hyde Park Academy and just moved to the Auburn Gresham Area from the Hyde Park Area I look forward to being able to help with everyday tasks and build a fun and healthy relationship with you and your child.

A little bit about me

Hello families!

My name is Molly, I'm 22 years old, and I am currently looking for live-in nanny opportunities!

I take pride in being a compassionate, understanding, and hardworking person with a passion for making a difference in children's lives.

I believe that seeing the world through a child's eyes and meeting them where they are at currently is the key to truly understanding them.

The thing that sets me apart from other candidates is my unique ability to connect with and see a child for who they really are.

As a creative writer, I love to take what I know about reading, writing, and other creative outlets and instill them into children's daily lives.

The world is a magical place, so exploring and going outside is also quite important to me.

I am always available to connect, so feel free to reach out!

I look forward to hearing from you!

A little bit about me

Hii, I’m Kamryn Calhoun. Born and raised in Chicago, IL. I’m 19 years old, a high school graduate, and currently a freshman in college, but taking a break right now. I would like to be in this field, because I have very good experience with kids. First and foremost, I have 3 siblings, I’m the oldest, of a 11 year old, 9 year old and 1 year old. I also, worked in a daycare in 2021 and 2022, in which I cared for toddlers, kids between the 3-9. In which I watched over them, taught them basic skills and exercises, fed them, etc. So, basically, I’m good with kids lol. I’ll help tutor your child in the aspects where they need it. Or if they want to do some art stuff, that’s my strong suit too :). I’m very good at chores/cleaning, such as, dishes, vacuuming, cleaning the bathroom, organizing. I’m comfortable with all animals, not allergic to any.

A little bit about me

I have worked with children all my life; growing up in a full household. I'm a graduate of Michigan State University with a degree in social work. I have worked in a children's science center in Michigan for over two years where I had the training and the opportunities to learn about children of all ages; from working in a infant room to working our maker-space for ages 9 and above. I've also worked in the summer camps while teaching them fun, science related material!
I tend to have a real and raw relationship with kids- I speak to them like real people :)
I was a cast member at Disney World and worked there just shy of two years but I was laid off due to COVID 19. It was so fun to be around kids in the most magical place on earth. I have been a full time nanny since 2021 and I would love to help out your family and continue the magic if I can. I'm looking to relocate to Chicago and I'm looking for about 35-40 hours a week!
