A little bit about me

I’m a Florida girl who learned to love Chicago summers. I nannied through college, then worked as a pediatric behavioral therapist for both neurotypical children, and those with specialized needs, since graduating with a bachelor’s in psychology.

My experience ranges from newborn/night nannying to short-term babysitting, after-school care, travel, and everything in between. I have 6-7 years of experience with children from infancy to high school.

Happy to provide references upon request. I am CPR and first aid certified.

Margaret C. - Seeking Work in Chicago

Babysitter Available in Chicago, IL: Margaret C.

I bring over two decades of experience working with young children from toddlers to early elementary and I genuinely love this stage of life. I’m the kind of caregiver who gets down on the floor to build, create, and explore, while also holding a calm, steady presence that helps children feel safe and understood.
My background is in Montessori education, where I’ve worked as a classroom guide, school leader, and teacher trainer. That means I’m skilled at supporting independence, guiding behavior with respect, and creating engaging, developmentally appropriate activities (think art projects, practical life skills, storytelling, and outdoor exploration).
I’m attentive, communicative, and deeply tuned in to children’s needs, whether that’s helping a toddler navigate big feelings or supporting a child’s growing curiosity about the world. Families often describe me as warm, reliable, and thoughtful, with a natural ability to connect.
