A little bit about me
Hi, I’m Maddy I first discovered my love of working with children when I began teaching youth classes at a local circus (yes, circus!) in my hometown, St. Paul, Minnesota, and the rest was history!
I hold a Bachelors in Communications from Northwestern University, where I studied psychology and theatre. I have been working in a variety of settings with children ages 3 months to 18 years old now for over 10 years, ranging from teaching in classrooms to leading theatre classes for kids with developmental differences. I care deeply about connecting with every child I work with, and am passionate about helping kids of all ages tap into their creativity and explore their world!
In my spare time you can find me crafting or performing in Chicago theatres. If you think we'd be a good match, feel free to reach out! ☺️

A little bit about me
Hello, my name is Tana. I'm currently in search of a family that is in need of full-time child care/house management. I've been working as a nanny/house manager for the past two years. Duties consist of: after school pick-up, homework help, meal prep, running errands, driving kids to activities, laundry, cleaning, bedtime, occasional overnight stays, doctors appointments and any fun activities for the kids to do. I have a five month old baby girl which is why I no longer work for the previous families. Now that my baby is older and has full-time care I'm ready to help care for other families! I am reliable, have a valid driver's license and a dependable vehicle. Looking forward to hearing from you. Thank you! Tana G.

A little bit about me
Hi! I'm Rachael and I'm so excited to find a family to work for! I have a degree in music education and I've taught in public schools for the past four years. When my job was cut to part time and no one else was hiring, I decided to put my education skills to use in another field - childcare! I've been babysitting on and off since 6th grade and I've done a few short term nanny jobs several years ago. I'm friendly, responsible, and punctual. I'm great with kids and able to help with meal prep, laundry, errands, etc. Please let me know if you think I'd be a good fit for your family!

I’m known for my strong communication, problem-solving, and time management skills, as well as my ability to stay calm and attentive in high-pressure situations. Families describe me as dependable, compassionate, and deeply dedicated to helping both children and parents feel supported and at ease in their daily lives.

"We can’t say enough wonderful things about Sarah. From the very first day, she brought calm, confidence, and genuine love into our home. She is so much more than a nanny; she is a natural caregiver who truly understands children and meets them where they are. Sarah is patient, creative, and deeply attuned to each child’s emotional and developmental needs. Our kids absolutely adore her. Whether she is engaging them in imaginative play, helping with schoolwork, or guiding daily routines, she does everything with warmth and structure. She turns everyday moments into meaningful opportunities for learning and connection. Sarah is also incredibly reliable, organized, and proactive, keeping our home running smoothly with kindness and grace. She quickly became part of our family, and we trust her completely. Any family fortunate enough to have Sarah will see how exceptional she is: steady, nurturing, and wholeheartedly devoted."

A little bit about me
The prompt said to keep it short and sweet, and well, that is exactly what I am! I am about 4'11 and a very enthusiastic nanny that loves to get the kids interacted in games indoors and outdoors. I have a major passion for art, so I always try to involve crafts into the day. I have a dream to use art in a therapeutic setting in order to help a child gain insight into how their mind works and how they can better control it! I enjoy playing games outside and keeping the screen time to a minimum. I am willing to work with all ages and can handle four to six kids with ease. I do not mind having a list of chores, errands, and meal prep during the week and can provide occasional weekend assistance as well. My goal is to provide as much peace for your home as I can manage. I am willing to learn and accommodate however I can aswell.
