A little bit about me

I am 48 years old with two kids of my own: a girl age 23 years old, and a son who is 29 years old. I am no longer needed at home, and I have had a past of nannying! I just stopped because my daughter needed someone to drive her to her activities (swimming practice, viola practice, music school, water polo practice, and school).

I love children. I have experience raising two kids, so I’d be great with handling babies! I’m also very punctual and am willing to live in the house, if need be. I am looking to work full time. I have a perfect driving record, and don’t mind driving if I need to. I’m very excited to grow with your family, as I plan to be in this job for the long run!

Thank you for reading this, and may God bless you in your search! If you would like to contact me, my phone number is: [phone number hidden].

A little bit about me

Hi! I’m Daisy 😊 I bring a strong mix of hands-on childcare experience, structure, and a nurturing, energetic approach. I grew up caring for my siblings daily (ages 0–14), which gave me real experience managing routines, multiple children, and different developmental stages. I also served as a catechist, where I taught and guided kids in structured, engaging lessons.

Professionally, I come from a leadership background where I managed high-responsibility environments, so I’m very organized, dependable, and safety-focused. I’m bilingual in English and Spanish and love staying active with kids. I also enjoy trying new foods and creating fun, balanced meals while encouraging healthy habits in a positive way.

I take pride in creating a clean, structured, and happy environment where children feel safe, confident, and supported.

A little bit about me

Hello! My name is Shyanne and I specialize in Early Childhood care. I've been working with children from ages 1-4 for almost four years! I am also currently in school working towards my Bachelors in Psychology and a minor in art at Northeastern IU.

I love working with children as they give such a brighter outlook on life and make the day so much more exciting. I have worked as an assistant teacher for 3 years and worked as a lead for 1 year so far. I believe I have great leadership skills not only for just following/or creating a schedule for children, but for also creating fun activities and a learning experience environment all from home! I am willing to work alongside parents and their personal goals for their kids as I'm determined to help them reach these goals.
Im looking forward to be given such a honorable opportunity!

I'd describe my personality as fun, easy-going and adaptable!

My skills include schedule making, organizing and activity coordinating.

A little bit about me

I truly enjoy working with children and creating a safe, loving, and fun environment where they can learn and grow. I believe in keeping little ones engaged through play and new experiences. Some of my favorite activities include visiting museums, going to the park, setting up play dates, reading books, doing arts and crafts, and creating sensory activities that encourage learning and exploration. I also enjoy helping children build independence through everyday routines while making sure they always feel supported and cared for.
I'm dependable, patient, and believe that open communication with parents is one of the most important parts of being a nanny. I understand that every family is different, and I enjoy working together to provide the best care possible. I have excellent references and take great pride in the relationships I've built with the families I've worked with. I'm looking forward to finding a family where I can become a trusted and dependable part of their child's life.

A little bit about me

I’m currently a pre-nursing student at UIC planning to pursue a career in pediatrics or the NICU, because I’ve always loved working with children and caring for others. Being around kids has been a big part of my life, and it’s what inspired me to go into this field. I have babysitting experience where I kept children engaged with activities, maintained a clean and safe environment, and communicated well with both kids and parents. I’m patient, responsible, and very attentive, and I genuinely enjoy creating a fun, supportive space where children feel comfortable and cared for. Being a nanny is a great opportunity for me to continue doing what I love while gaining experience that aligns with my future career.
