A little bit about me
I am Brishai, I am on a new journey of finding a new nanny position. I have 9 years of child care experience working as a nanny and preschool teacher. I have a genuine passion for young children and helping them learn and reach milestones. I believe children learn through play and being around what is developmentally appropriate for them. I developed this philosophy while studying early childhood education while earning my AA degree in child development. I’ve worked with children from ages birth to six years old. I have an extensive history working with infants and toddlers. My role as a child care provider is to ensure proper safety of children(s), teach age-appropriate lessons , engage in playtime, maintain a clean environment, and create a positive atmosphere for children to learn and grow. When providing childcare to children, I love to teach children about our earth, educational activities, express themselves through paint and art, mannerism and to be polite.

A little bit about me
Hi! My name is Claire Janowski.
I’m 19 years old and originally from Lima, Ohio, but I’m currently living in Chicago while studying Advertising and Public Relations at Loyola University Chicago. Back home, I spent a lot of time babysitting, and I’ve grown to really enjoy working with kids of all ages.
Families can count on me to be reliable, responsible, and understanding—qualities that help me connect with children and make homework time a little easier. I’m also happy to help with cooking, light cleaning, and keeping your home running smoothly.
Outside of childcare, I love staying active—I play tennis, enjoy swimming, and spend as much time outdoors as possible. I bring that same energy into babysitting, whether it’s keeping kids engaged with fun activities, encouraging play, or helping with schoolwork.
I’d love the opportunity to support your family and provide safe, dependable, and caring childcare.
