A little bit about me
Hi! I’m Michaela, a Chicago native who left for high school and university and is now coming back to work as a nanny. I am the youngest of my siblings; though, my oldest brother is special-needs, so I grew up taking on a caregiver role.
I started babysitting for other families while attending boarding high school. My paid experience is mainly working with children 4 to 14 years old, though I have babysat for younger family members as well. I have maintained a CPR and first aid certification since high school.
Outside of work, I am a passionate reader, artist, and baker. I love to spend my time volunteering at local animal shelters as well.
I’m looking forward to stepping into this new role as a full time nanny. I appreciate you taking the time to read through my profile, and I look forward to talking to you more soon!

A little bit about me
As an experienced nanny and mother myself, I understand the importance of trusting anyone with your children and making them part of your family. I ensure you that your kids will be in perfect care with me. I love reading, crafts (which is a hobby of mine), baking, playing sports, & most of all getting to create bonds with new people.
I'm also comfortable with pets, laundry & light housework, running errands, grocery shopping, and preparing meals! I renewed my CPR Certification in July 2023.
Please don't hesitate to contact me, thank you.

A little bit about me
Ola! My name is Raina Grace and I am a pre-law/education student from the University of Chicago! I am from Boston, Massachusetts and moved to Chicago two years ago for school.
My background in childcare begins when I was 15 and extends till now. I have been a babysitter, group leader, assistant teacher, and lead teacher for children ages 5 months to 12 years.
I chose to work in childcare because family dynamics and education is of the utmost importance to me. I grew up in a big family where love was everywhere and education was a priority. I love to teach through play, read, write, and be outside.
