A little bit about me
Getting back to work (YAY!!) as I successfully manage chronic fatigue that changed my life. I'm very fit and active, but need to pace myself. An ideal fit would be a 2-3 hr shift 2, 1, or 3x/week (between 9AM and 7PM (until 11PM can work)). Can do 6-8 hr shifts if I can sit during nap time or after bedtime. My sched is flexible; we can discuss options beyond those examples!
Physically, walking, biking, park time, playing, and lifting little ones is all a go! I babysit my nephew (2) weekly and it's always a riot.
I am highly responsible and a great communicator. I have a BA in International Affairs and Economics from George Washington University (2010, 3.9 GPA). With past experience from West Africa to corporate America, I am adaptable to different environments and connect well with others. I love kids and they tend to gravitate toward me; I am honored to be liked by such awe-inspiring young minds!
I enjoy volunteering (zoo), swimming, crafting, book club, nature, and mindfulness.

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!:)

Hi! I'm a 21 years old Spanish girl who loves spending time with children. I enjoy listening to the way they make up stories and playing with them until they get rid of energy. I'm a big fan of their curiosity and I am always willing to teach them Spanish or help them with the school.
