A little bit about me
Hi! For as long as I can remember I’ve been involved in childcare. I love the bond that can be formed between a nanny and a child. There is no such joy like that of assisting in raising children, and having some fun while doing so! I have studied general education and special education, numerous psychology courses, CPR trained, and am familiar with different methods of teaching.

A little bit about me
I am an eager and caring nanny who loves the opportunity to make sure kids are safe while also enjoying life, learning new things, and using their creative, beautiful brains! I have been babysitting for 10+ years and absolutely adore all ages. I clean and help with homework, chores, meal prep, etc. I do have a license; however, I currently do not have a vehicle. Both kids and adults find a trustworthy companion in me.

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
Hi!
My name is Naomi, I’m a tailors apprentice, and recent graduate who just moved back to Chicago from New York. Right now, I’m a college prep tutor looking for something more full time. I spend most of my free time on sewing and illustration projects, and I lovee sharing that with the kids I work with—I will always encourage crafts projects and various interests a kid may fall into on a given day, week, month. I have also done homework help both elementary and high school students. I find it very rewarding to figure out how each child problem solves in their own way, and how to best bring that out in them.
I am a calm, warm presence, and would love to hear more about your family!

A little bit about me
Hi, I'm Maddy! Currently, I'm a Preschool teacher at a daycare located in Wicker Park. Before this I was employed as a nanny by a family that has 2 children, ages 2.5 yo and 4 mo, and had been with them since February of 2023. I am familiar and comfortable with parents working from home, and communicate in person and texts throughout the day. I enjoy sensory play, arts and crafts, and planning outing such as the park, museum, library. In this role, I regularly provided enrichment activities, implemented a daily routine, prepared meals/snacks, and created a nurturing environment where they can safely explore the world around them. I have expert knowledge on developmentally appropriate activities for children ages birth to 5 years old, as well as an Associate of Arts in Teacher Education. I am dedicated, dependable, and caring!
