A little bit about me
Hi there! I’m, a dedicated caregiver with many years of experience working with children of all ages—from infants to teens. Growing up in a big family taught me patience, adaptability, and the magic of creative problem-solving, while my Master’s in Forensic Psychology and trauma-informed care background help me foster emotional safety and resilience in kids.
I specialize in:
Gentle, individualized care for neuro-divergent children and those with special needs
Art-based & somatic techniques to help kids explore emotions (I even illustrate children’s books on this topic!)
Routine + playfulness—think structured days with room for imagination, outdoor adventures, and mindfulness
Currently, I’m building my therapy practice and illustrating on the side, so part-time nannying is the perfect fit. Let’s connect if you’re seeking a caregiver who blends warmth, expertise, and a little extra emotional insight!

A little bit about me
Hi, my name is Uriah! I’ve been taking care of and working with children since I was 10 years old, and I absolutely love it! I started off babysitting my nieces and nephew, and then began working as a sitter for families around my neighborhood. I’ve worked primarily with children between infant and pre-teen ages. Depending on the weather, I like to take kids out to the park, for a snack, or just for a regular walk around the neighborhood. I also like to have non-scheduled, indoor dance parties, ensuring that they have the most fun, while staying healthy and active. In my free time, I like to watch movies, read, write, workout, and create music! :)

A little bit about me
Hi! My name is Yaniya, and I’m currently a college student studying radiology with the goal of becoming an ultrasound technician. I’ve always had a natural love for working with kids, and I’ve been lucky to gain experience with children of all ages — from infants to pre-teens — through both personal babysitting and my time working at a daycare center.
I’m very responsible, organized, and caring, but I also love to have fun and create a warm, safe environment where kids can be themselves. I’ve been a student ambassador since my freshman year of high school, which has helped me build strong communication and leadership skills that I bring into every nanny position.
Whether it’s helping with homework, planning activities, or just being someone the kids can count on, I truly enjoy building meaningful connections with the families I work with. I’d love the opportunity to bring that same energy and care to your home!

A little bit about me
Hi there! My name is Meghan. I'm 26, a DePaul grad and back home in Oak Park this summer after two years living and teaching abroad in Spain. I've been babysitting locally since I was a young teenager and have experience teaching at a Montessori preschool for one year. I am proficient in Spanish if that is something your family is looking for. Sitting for your child will mean lots of time outdoors, reading stories, making art, going on little day trips and just getting out and showing your child(ren) the world! (For this I also have access to a car.) I would love to meet and work with your family! :)
Cheers, Meghan
