A little bit about me

Hi! My name is Jiselle, I'm a 16 year old sophomore looking for a part-time job to help me save up for college. I love working with children from a variety of ages; I'm usually the go-to person my family chooses to babysit. With that being said I have lots of experience and can tend to every one of your child's needs. I am super friendly and energetic: I would be more than happy to meal prep, clean up, and do fun learning activities with any of your children. I am currently enrolled in an allied health class at my school and I recently got my CPR certification. In addition, we are learning about child development and safety procedures to ensure I can tend to anyone in case of emergency. I would be a great asset to your life as well as your children, and I will always put 100% effort to do my best at my job. I am quick on my feet, a great multitasker, and I have up to date knowledge on child care. Please feel free to contact me and ask questions. Have a great day !

A little bit about me

My name is Marie and I've been a nanny for three years and I'm a mother to a sweet little boy whose four. Before I started to nanny, I worked for a child development program that uses soccer to help children grow and learn how to work as a team to build on their strengths. This gave me my start with working with children ages 18months-5yrs old. I babysat for a couple families that were enrolled in Lil kickers as well. I love working with kids and having my own child, it really opened up a door for a new career path. I nannied for a 1-year-old while taking care of my son, then two sets of twins that were 4 months old then a little boy who was 19 months old. My responsibilities included feedings, routine naps, changing diapers, and light house keeping. I thoroughly enjoy being a nanny, watching children hit their milestones, grow, laugh and play has been such a joy. If you have any questions, feel free to message me :).

A little bit about me

{LOCATED IN LOGAN SQUARE}
My name is Sierra. I just graduated with a BFA in Acting from The Theatre School at DePaul University. Born and raised in Louisville, Kentucky.

I have been using Urbansitter to connect with families for almost three years and decided to venture out to Nannylane! I have been caring for children for as long as I remember! I have taken care of newborn babies and as old as middle schoolers. At times, I would take them to the park or bring some games for them to play. I’m very receptive to whatever requests the parents/guardians have for their child!! I love being creative about ways to support your household and your children! I’m here to help.

Some fun facts about me!
I’m classically trained in the violin (9 years), I play the bass and guitar, I have a cat named Beatrice and I love cooking! I’m skilled at oil pastels and acrylic. I also love music and finding new ways to introduce it to children.

Looking forward to hearing from you and your needs!

A little bit about me

I’m currently a pre-nursing student at UIC planning to pursue a career in pediatrics or the NICU, because I’ve always loved working with children and caring for others. Being around kids has been a big part of my life, and it’s what inspired me to go into this field. I have babysitting experience where I kept children engaged with activities, maintained a clean and safe environment, and communicated well with both kids and parents. I’m patient, responsible, and very attentive, and I genuinely enjoy creating a fun, supportive space where children feel comfortable and cared for. Being a nanny is a great opportunity for me to continue doing what I love while gaining experience that aligns with my future career.
