A little bit about me
Hi Families! I am excited to get to work with children in a home setting, as I am use to working in a classroom setting- while babysitting on the side. I have 4 years of experience as an Early Childhood Educator — from infants to preschool, and 8 total years of paid childcare work. I am looking for new ways to provide childcare and assistance to families within my community. I grew up spending time outside playing sports, walking the dogs, water play, as well as reading, writing, and drawing. I still love those activities, and have found love in hiking and biking as well. I have multiple years of experience with special needs children, as well as extensive experience teaching children with ADHD and children who are on the autism spectrum.

A little bit about me
My name is Elle Dejaynes I am 19 years old, I have been babysitting since I was around 13 years old! I absolutely love working with children! I currently hold a job position where safety and awareness of children are my top priority! I taught gymnastics to kids aging from 2-15 and it has by far been my favorite job! I love crafting, playing games, teaching, helping, etc. I know how to cook, clean, change super messy diapers and throw up :) I am a PROUD aunt to 4 young children that absolutely have my heart! Becoming a nanny would be such an honor to me! Letting parents know they can leave their children at home in a very safe and comfortable environment is my biggest goal to accomplish! Being a parent is a superpower and I would love to be apart of your family and team! :)

A little bit about me
Hi, I’m Jamie! I’ve been a babysitter for 11 years, caring for several different families. I also worked as a camp counselor at a day camp for three summers, where I oversaw a group of about 25 seven-year-old girls. Following that, I spent two summers at a sleep away camp, first as an Assistant Unit Director for the youngest girls and later as the Arts and Crafts Director.
I love working with children! During college, I nannied in Bend, OR, for two summers. One summer, I cared for a 4-6-month-old girl, and the other, I looked after a 2-year-old girl and a 7-year-old boy. I kept them busy with trips to the park, swimming, and fun art projects.
I graduated in June 2023 with a double major in Art and Education. Last year, I worked as a K-6 art teacher at a charter school in Chicago.
