A little bit about me
Hello, my name is Carolina. I live in little village. I'm 21, I'm currently saving up for a car because I'm in desperate need of one. I have some experience. I take care of my little brother who is four and some cousins who are 3 to 5 years old. I help my mom take care of my 9 month old cousin. I can cook some things such as rice, soup, eggs, mac and cheese, chorizo, pancakes- minor things. I wash dishes, do my own laundry, sweep and mop here and there. I love kids, I grew up with them, so I'm used to it. I play with my little brother and I do learning activities with him. I'm learning sign language, I know every little because my niece doesn't speak, she only uses sign language so I tend to learn more from her. That's all I can think of for now :)

A little bit about me
Hi! I’m Michaela, a Chicago native who left for high school and university and is now coming back to work as a nanny. I am the youngest of my siblings; though, my oldest brother is special-needs, so I grew up taking on a caregiver role.
I started babysitting for other families while attending boarding high school. My paid experience is mainly working with children 4 to 14 years old, though I have babysat for younger family members as well. I have maintained a CPR and first aid certification since high school.
Outside of work, I am a passionate reader, artist, and baker. I love to spend my time volunteering at local animal shelters as well.
I’m looking forward to stepping into this new role as a full time nanny. I appreciate you taking the time to read through my profile, and I look forward to talking to you more soon!

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.

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.
