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.

A little bit about me

Hi I’m Brittany! I’ve been a nanny for ten years for multiple families! I’ve built great relationships with all my families but as all children do, they grow up & no longer need the care that I provide.
I’m a Cincinnati (Ohio) Native but am looking to relocate to Chicago in 2023. I grew up with one brother and one sister; both older. As a child I always had a caregiver’s heart, when my mother noticed it she helped me sign up for childcare at our local church in early high school. Eventually I became a children’s leader on staff at the church and expended my childcare beyond Sundays.
I have experience with newborn babies (including NICU babies) all the way to 16 year old boys and girls.
In my personal time I enjoy spending time with my two cats! I love to do crafts and DIY projects, as well as cooking and baking. My personal goal in the year of 2023 is to complete a tough mudder obstacle course with my girlfriends! Thank you for reading a little about me!:)
