A little bit about me
Hello!
My name is Alejandra,
I’ve been a nanny for about 4 1/2 years now.
I was a live in nanny twice, I’ve worked with kids from ages 3 months-18 years old)
After I had graduated high school, I went on to study Early Childhood Education at CVTC & as a daycare teacher assistant. Eventually the director had noticed much more potential in me, & encouraged me to pursue full time teacher.
That is where my calling for wanting to show the little humans we bring into society came into mind.
I wasn’t necessarily big on the idea of having a classroom full of children, although it’s amazing how every little one is different, but I wanted the deeper understanding & the one on one. That is why I became a nanny, & just watching a baby turn into a toddler, turn into a young child, teen, adult, etc is mesmerizing, especially when they always ask about you.
- My biggest interest in becoming a nanny was a lot to do with helping out with my siblings, cousins, & friends children.

A little bit about me
I have a Masters Degree in Disability Studies and am currently working on a PhD, and a lifetime of working with families and kids.
I strictly observe all COVID protocols, and have had both vaccines + one booster, and this year's flus hot.
I've had experience as a medical caretaker as well as a companion for disabled children and adults. I myself am on the autistic spectrum and am attention deficit.
For a time, I worked with autistic, ADHD, and other neurodivergent kids middle school-young adult age at a local organization called DC Peers.
In my free time, I enjoy reading, writing (I am a published poet), educational podcasts, watching documentaries, working on academic writing, advocacy, video games, sewing, museum visits, yoga and walks.
I love finding fun and creative ways to learn and spend time together with kids of all ages!

A little bit about me
Hi there! I'm a student in my last year at Loyola and live in a apartment in Rogers Park. I have been babysitting and nannying on and off since high school and enjoy my time with kids of all ages. While I am very childlike myself, I am very responsible and put the child's care before anything else. I am willing to help out with kids and around the house including with pets and such. I have two dogs and two cats back home in Texas and have been a a part of Wag and Rover for years. While none of my babysitting or nannying experience has been longterm so far, I am hoping to have the opportunity for it now. Hope to hear from you soon!

A little bit about me
Hi there! I'm Emcat, I'm 27 and I moved to Chicago four years ago. I pride myself on being very crafty, reliable in an emergency, a good cook, an even better baker, and someone who tries to keep in touch with their inner child. I've always been passionate about working with kids and making them feel seen in a world that often overlooks their value. Looking back at my own childhood, I wish I had more adults in my life that understood that, despite my age, I still deserved a seat at the table. Now whenever I work with kids I commit myself to never allowing them to feel unseen or unheard. I'm a big believer in instilling creativity, emotional intelligence, and critical thinking in young minds. My ultimate goal in working with kids is to create a kind, compassionate environment for them to flourish in!
