A little bit about me
Hi, my name is Marvelous, and I absolutely love working with children! I’ve been fortunate to gain experience with kids of all ages, from little ones just starting school to pre-teens full of curiosity and energy. I’m passionate about creating fun, safe, and supportive environments where kids can thrive, learn, and feel. During my time at Right At School in Chicago, I had the opportunity to lead engaging activities, help with homework, and build meaningful connections with the children I worked with.
I’m known for my warm and approachable personality, and I take pride in being someone children feel comfortable with. At the same time, I’m organized and dependable, always making sure every child feels included and cared for.
For me, working with children isn’t just a job—it’s something I truly enjoy and feel passionate about. I’m excited to bring my energy, creativity, and love for kids to any role where I can make a positive impact!

A little bit about me
I sincerely believe the greatest gifts in life are children. Caring for them, as a nanny, for over 15 years brings joy to my heart and soul. My childcare experiences started at a young age, with my nieces and nephews. I enjoyed caring for them, teaching them, and nurturing their growth. My professional knowledge of child development evolved while working with the children from the Boys and Girl Club in Chicago. Since that time, I have gained vast experience while being a nanny for many children, ranging from babies to teenagers. Personally, the most rewarding part of being a nanny is being an integral part of a child emotional, intellectual, and physical growth. I enjoy guiding and nurturing them emotionally. I take pride in teaching them with age appropriate modalities. I like to promote their physical growth by making them healthy meals and keeping them active. I also love to spend time with them outdoors at the park and exploring the environment.

A little bit about me
I have over 20 years of experience in early childhood education, including time as a preschool teacher and nanny for children ages infancy-school ages. What I really enjoy is working more closely with a family and supporting children in a consistent, nurturing home environment.
I focus a lot on creating structured but flexible routines, helping with emotional development, and keeping kids engaged through play and learning (without relying on screens). I’m also happy to help with things like meal prep, organization, and keeping the day running smoothly for you.
Families I’ve worked with appreciate that I’m dependable, calm under pressure, and proactive—I don’t just “watch” children, I support their growth and make your day easier.

A little bit about me
Hiiii! I am Tyionna. A college student attending in Florida. Chicago is my home town and I’m seeking a newer experience because I used to be a barista for Starbucks for 1 year. I am well with kids because I take care of my 3 siblings my own self from time to time when my parents want to go out. I have a bright personality. I don’t have a car unfortunately or know how to drive yet. I mainly am use to public transportation and uber. I’m always home for the summer so if every summer you need a sitter I would be available most likely. Looking forward to taking care of lovely children.

"To Whom It May Concern: I am writing to highly recommend Kara Fischer as a nanny for your child care needs. She performed nanny duties for my 3 and 5 year old sons from January 2020 to ongoing. Kara is an incredibly patient individual who takes the time to meet even the rowdiest kids' needs. Loving, and hard working full-time nanny for my children since they were just infants. She has a good understanding of the needs and abilities of children and is warm, nurturing, and responsive to our children. Kara has always brought a professional, thoughtful, organized, and expert approach to the care of our children. Kara isolates important issues within our children's lives, investigates literature for the best possible means to address the issues. The end result is that our children are happily and consistently setting goals, (both personal and developmental), and reaching them. I wish her all the best."
