A little bit about me
I'm Trina! With 11 years of experience in babysitting and 7 years as a full-time nanny, I have developed a profound understanding and love for this profession. I'm 25 and have worked with children of all ages, which has greatly enriched my life and the lives of the families I have worked with. My approach to childcare is one that encompasses kindness, love and reliability. I strive to create a nurturing environment that encourages children to grow, explore, and express themselves creatively. Each childcare experience is an opportunity to discover new aspects of child development and education. This outlook has not only allowed me to provide better care but has also instilled a sense of curiosity and adventure in the children I work with. I'd describe my personality as loving, fun, and resilient. In my spare time, I like to spend time with my friends and travel! I love cooking, art, music, and spending time outdoors as much as possible. I'm always down for an adventure, planned or not!

"Trina was an amazing nanny to my son! Not only was she super proactive and a self starter, but she was also extremely kind and caring with my son. She taught him a lot of things before he started daycare which genuinely gave him such a head start already. Trina cares so deeply about the kids she works with and has been such a life saver in my husband and I’s lives. She’s become family. We have appreciated our time with such an important and amazing person that we feel lucky to have been able to have with us!"

"Gwendolyn was very considerate of my preferences, ensuring to follow through on how I wanted things done for my son. She was quick to respond to texts I sent throughout the day, always responding positively and kindly. She gave thorough updates at the end of the day on how my sons day went. She confidently watched two 1 year olds (nanny share) simultaneously, and did not get overwhelmed by my sons separation anxiety and crying. She has good communication skills, conveying in advance any schedule needs or changes."

A little bit about me
I am a Mom of 3 boys (one diagnosed as high-functioning Autistic as a toddler) myself, ages 11 to nearly 18, & I am seeking a(another) "great fit" family to work for/with. I am currently blissfully employed with a family I connected with via this site, but sadly their needs will change after summer due to full-time school enrollment for all of their kiddos, so I am only contracted with them through August. We are all sad about it, honestly, but I am excited to meet new families & find potential opportunities. I am a very "young at heart people person" who absolutely LOVES children. I am pulling faces & smiling at them in the grocery store lines. i "steal" all of the babies at family functions to "get a hit off" their sweet heads. I am very fun, creative, & kind, & promote a MUPPET-style existence where uniqueness is celebrated but togetherness is definitely enjoyed! Please contact me to chat if you are so inclined, & THANK YOU!!

"Well, there’s a lot about Kristi that makes her super special. The main qualities (though she possesses many) that make her a wonderful and enjoyable person to have as part of our team is the fact that she’s reliable, honest/upfront, flexible, warm, loving, has a great can do attitude, laid back, fun, and has no issues handling sick kiddos (or being around sick parents). Basically, my husband and I wouldn’t have stayed sane without her! We feel so lucky to know Kristi, and I know she will be an asset to any family, as she’s super adaptable. She’s literally the only one that hasn’t run away from our family of 4 boys (we interviewed and tried out lots of candidates), but none were interested in the challenge. Kristi handles it all with ease. I’m beyond confident that Kristi will be an asset to your family too!"

"Lulu had great work ethic, positive energy, was promt and adored by our children. She was a babysitter to our two girls who were then 6 months and 4 years old and our son 6 years old. She worked part time for us when my wife and I were away for work. We were sorry to see her go when she moved cities but we highly recommend her as a sitter/Nanny."

A little bit about me
My background includes over 13 years of experience as a professional nanny, 3 years of child development education, as well as CPR and first aid classes (certification expired but will renew). I am always happy to help with cleaning, cooking, or organizing related to the children. Pets are never a problem for me, I have a dog and cat myself! I do not have a drivers license, CTA is my main form of transportation. I am looking for a full time long term position with a family (or families) who value communication, compassion, and creativity. Building trust and relationships between myself and the families I work for is very important to me. I believe wholeheartedly in the idea that it "takes a village" and I am honored to be a part of that village, there's nothing more rewarding in my life than getting to help and watch little humans grow and learn and providing peace of mind to the parents who love them!

A little bit about me
Hi! My name is Colleen, and I’m a dedicated childcare provider with a strong background in pediatric healthcare. Before transitioning into nannying, I worked as a Certified Nursing Assistant (CNA) specializing in pediatrics, where I gained hands-on experience caring for children of all ages—from infants to adolescents. This experience taught me not only how to meet children’s physical and emotional needs but also how to respond calmly and confidently in medical or high-stress situations. Caring for children is my passion and gives me purpose, being able to create a safe place for them to learn, grow, and become the person they are meant to be.
