A little bit about me
I've been working with children since I was 14, teaching at western dupage special recreation association with differently abled kids. I've taught swim since then from ages infant to adult. Beyond that I worked as a chicago public school teacher for two years, then as a private art instructor/therapist/nanny from 2015 to now. The kids are grown up from that family enough to not need me around all the time but happy to give their mother as a reference. I play saxophone, piano and was a graduate/masters at the school of the art institute of chicago with a bfa in fine arts/art ed and a masters in art therapy.

A little bit about me
When I wasn’t younger , I wold babysit my baby cousins and loved it ! I was the eldest of them all and having a large family with many babies meant I had to be the babysitter but I kept them entertained and never got tired of being with them . I liked babysitting so much that in middle school, I volunteered with the YMCA as a teacher assistant and all my little students became my besties whom I couldn’t wait to see everyday for work . I feel kids need genuine and specific care at all times because they are constantly learning and growing . From previous experience I can say I am great at taking specific instructions, and am also good at taking the initiative and make best decisions during any situation with any child. This isn’t a job this is a passion and an important task. I have beauty school from Monday to Friday from 9AM to 3PM , and am free other than those hours. I hope to see your lovely faces soon 🌞💖

A little bit about me
I have over 10+ years of experience working with children as a nanny, babysitter, Registered Behavior Technician, and Special Education Aide. Nothing brings me more joy than watching a child grow and develop into themselves. I am an organized, prompt, and consistent person which I believe sets a healthy foundation for my relationship with the child(ren) and their family. I enjoy being active, spending time outdoors, exploring local libraries and parks, and reading. I encourage a wide range of interests for the children I care for.

A little bit about me
Although I have a full time job at a Digital Research firm, I am looking for a part-time job that will allow me to help families with their children. I have taken care of children ranging from 3 months old to 14 years old and it's always been rewarding to see children's development. Often times, I also end up teaching Spanish to children and this makes the experience even that more memorable. I work from home so I am available to complete school drop offs, pick up kids from school, babysit weekday evenings, and anytime on the weekends.

Beyond childcare, I’m skilled in household organization, scheduling, meal preparation, errands, light housekeeping, and coordinating family routines. I’m known for my strong communication, problem-solving, and time management skills, as well as my ability to stay calm and attentive in high-pressure situations. Families describe me as dependable, compassionate, and deeply dedicated to helping both children and parents feel supported and at ease in their daily lives.

"We can’t say enough wonderful things about Sarah. From the very first day, she brought calm, confidence, and genuine love into our home. She is so much more than a nanny; she is a natural caregiver who truly understands children and meets them where they are. Sarah is patient, creative, and deeply attuned to each child’s emotional and developmental needs. Our kids absolutely adore her. Whether she is engaging them in imaginative play, helping with schoolwork, or guiding daily routines, she does everything with warmth and structure. She turns everyday moments into meaningful opportunities for learning and connection. Sarah is also incredibly reliable, organized, and proactive, keeping our home running smoothly with kindness and grace. She quickly became part of our family, and we trust her completely. Any family fortunate enough to have Sarah will see how exceptional she is: steady, nurturing, and wholeheartedly devoted."

A little bit about me
The prompt said to keep it short and sweet, and well, that is exactly what I am! I am about 4'11 and a very enthusiastic nanny that loves to get the kids interacted in games indoors and outdoors. I have a major passion for art, so I always try to involve crafts into the day. I have a dream to use art in a therapeutic setting in order to help a child gain insight into how their mind works and how they can better control it! I enjoy playing games outside and keeping the screen time to a minimum. I am willing to work with all ages and can handle four to six kids with ease. I do not mind having a list of chores, errands, and meal prep during the week and can provide occasional weekend assistance as well. My goal is to provide as much peace for your home as I can manage. I am willing to learn and accommodate however I can aswell.
