A little bit about me
Hi there! I'm Leah and I've been nannying in the Chicagoland area now for 9 years. Right now I’m currently a toddler teacher at a preschool but I’m looking to get back into nannying. I have been working with kids since I was 18 - in daycares as well as nannying back home (North Dakota). I love going on adventures with the children I am nannying as well as being super silly/goofy. I believe in a safe, fun, and positive approach when working with children!

Recent reference
"Leah came to our family’s rescue after a bad injury left me bedridden and unable to care for our 4 kids (then ages 2, 4, 6, and 10). With very little instruction, she stepped right in and took over our schedules and routines seamlessly. Leah showed a keen ability to meet each of my children’s individual needs. She loved being active with the kids and was always finding new outings and adventures for them. Although we no longer need a full-time caregiver, Leah continues to babysit for our family often and our kids always look forward to their time with her."

A little bit about me
I am an 18 year old high school graduate who is planning on attending Northern Illinois University in the fall. I have a big family with many different ages, so I am very familiar with children. I am very organized, patient, helpful, and kind. I work hard in everything I do. I was captain of a competitive dance team at my high school, so I am a leader. I earned a volunteer silver cord at graduation for volunteering many hours, so I love to give back to others. I am also a very studious person. I work hard in all of my classes. I am looking for a way to make money before I go to college, and I would be happy to work for anybody that is willing to hire me!

A little bit about me
As a mother of four children who are all now in middle school and high school, I enjoyed caring for an infant and toddler part time for a few months earlier this year. It was a pleasure to hold an infant again and read books and encourage learning and creativity with a toddler again. I can only commit to helping part time right now, and I technically only have part of this year as paid experience ( other than additional babysitting experience as a teenager) but I offer many years of experience as a mother. Perhaps if we meet each other we will find that we see eye to eye and if I am not the caregiver you are looking for then I totally understand. As a parent, I am safety conscious and empathetic/compassionate. I am a pet owner and also have a heart for animals.

A little bit about me
Hi! My name is Mikayla, and I’m currently a college student studying Marketing at Northern Illinois University. I love working with kids and have experience babysitting, tutoring, and volunteering with younger children. In the past, I tutored two elementary school students after school for about a year, and I’ve also volunteered with younger kids (ages 3–5) helping them explore music and instruments. I’ve also led choir sectionals, which helped me develop patience, leadership, and communication skills.
I’m a creative and energetic person who enjoys activities like music, arts and crafts, games, and spending time outdoors. I love helping kids learn new things, build confidence, and have fun in a safe and supportive environment.
In my free time I enjoy music, playing piano, creating content, and spending time with friends and family. I’m responsible, organized, and dependable, and I always try to create a positive and engaging environment for the kids I work with.
