A little bit about me

Hi there!

My most recent childcare position was as a live-in nanny in Santa Monica where I looked after a one year old and a thirteen year old full time.

I'm now located in Streeterville and available as a babysitter or part time nanny.

I have been looking after children my entire life as well as working at an elementary school before and after school program and at a children's party place called Pump It Up.

I'm more than happy to answer any questions you may have and I look forward to speaking with you!

A little bit about me

Hi Families! My name is Brea. I’m 21 years old. I’m from Chicago born & raised, and I have been a babysitter since I was 16 years old. I’m looking to finally take on nannying as a full-time job. I work well with all ages, but I work best with ages 5 and under. I accept pets & light housekeeping as well. My plan with your children is to make their time with me fun and educational. No time should be wasted when it comes to learning! I’m also an advocate for gentle parenting so I will not tolerate households of unhealthy parenting behaviors. I want to not only give your kids the best experience, but you as the guardian as well. I’m available for immediate start so please reach out! :)

A little bit about me

Hello! I'm Nataly, an experienced and compassionate nanny with over 3 years of hands-on experience in childcare. I’ve been caring for children since I was 15 and have worked with children of all ages, from infants as young as 6 months to teenagers. I’ve had the privilege of serving as a camp counselor for two years at City Arts Rwanda, where I helped foster creativity and personal growth in kids, and as a preschool teacher assistant in Belize, where I worked with young children to encourage early learning and development.

Additionally, I served as a youth mentor and advocate at an after-school program in South Side Chicago. These experiences have not only enriched my skills as a caregiver but have also taught me the importance of providing a safe, nurturing, and structured environment for kids of all ages.

Let me know how I can help support your childcare needs—I look forward to meeting your little ones!
