A little bit about me
Hi! My name is Rachel. I’m 21 years old and am currently trying to go back to college. I’m currently a Behavior Technician with my BCAT specializing in kids with autism. I work at a facility that is far from my home, and I'm looking for something with an easier commute because of this snow! I’m a sister of an 11 year brother who I’ve lived with up until about a year ago. I have experience in babysitting him almost every day and I loved it! I’m willing to clean and keep up with pets and chores as well. I am also CPR certified with EMT training. Thank you for your time!

Hi wonderful families!
My name is McKenna, and I am a passionate, creative, and dedicated educator. I earned my B.A. in Education from Elmhurst University and will be attending the Erikson Institute this fall to pursue my master’s in Early Childhood Education, Special Education, and English as a Second Language.
I have been a preschool teacher for the past year, fostering strong relationships with children and families. Early education lays the foundation for lifelong learning, and I strive to make it equitable, engaging, and accessible for every child.
Being part of a child’s growth is truly an honor. I create a nurturing, inclusive space where children feel valued and excited to learn. My goal is to inspire curiosity, creativity, and confidence while going above and beyond for my students.
I would love the opportunity to support your family and be a positive influence in your child’s learning journey!
Warmly,
McKenna

A little bit about me
Hi, my name is Rosalina. I’m 45 and a married woman with four pets and happily live in Chicago.
I have 10+ years experience being paid to care for others children. I’ve also worked with children on the spectrum. Helped run a summer program for the city in Fremont, Ca. I have taught children’s art class.
I myself don’t have children but proudly an Aunt\Tia to three amazing humans. Growing up in a Latino household taught me he importance of family and community. I work under the premise that everyone deserves a safe healthy life. Especially children, I may not have children but it’s doesn’t mean I don’t have a role in raising them after all it does take a village.
As for my interests I love going to museums and conservatories. I’m a collage artist and herbalist. Reading and movies are a weekly ritual in our home. I have a dog and cat and two turtles that I adopted.

A little bit about me
With over 25 years of experience caring for children and managing busy households, I bring a calm, capable, and nurturing presence to every family I serve. My background as a full-spectrum doula, educator, and childcare specialist has given me a deep understanding of family dynamics and child development. I’ve cared for infants through teens, including children with special needs, and I approach every stage with patience, creativity, and empathy.
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."

Hello, my name is Mikayla! I have over five years of experience working with children of all ages. I babysat throughout majority of my high school career and nannied for wonderful families afterwards. I decided to take a break from nannying and focus on my studies and found myself continuing my studies in Montessori education as well. Having first-hand experience in the infant and toddler rooms for the past year and a half, I’m confident in my approach. When I’m not in school or working, I create and design sustainable clothing, paint, and garden. I look forward to hearing from you!
