A little bit about me

Hi! My name is Karina. I have over 5 years of experience working with children of all ages. I started my career in daycare settings and currently work as a Paraprofessional with Chicago Public Schools. Throughout my experience, I’ve worked with children of different ages, including children on the autism spectrum and those with diverse learning needs.

I truly enjoy building positive relationships with both children and their families, and I would love the opportunity to get to know you and your child!

A little about me: I currently do not have a driver’s license, but I am very comfortable using public transportation and walking when needed. I love helping children explore their community and enjoy new experiences in a safe and fun way.

The most important part about being a nanny...

I’ve never worked as a full-time nanny before, but I do have experience babysitting. One of my favorite parts of babysitting is building a connection with the children and having fun with them, whether that’s playing games, doing crafts, reading books, or just being part of their day. I love seeing their personalities shine and creating a safe, positive environment where they feel comfortable and happy.

Babysitter Available in Chicago, IL: Jennifer G.

Hello! My name is Jennifer and I am currently an Immunology PhD student at UChicago. I am originally from San Jose and grew up in a family of five, including my two younger siblings. I am 7 years older than my brother and sister who are fraternal twins, and I have been looking after them for as long as I can remember. I have experience working as a nanny for my families for children ages 3 and older. I have also worked as a camp counselor, where I taught children from ages 5 to 10 about endangered animals and the environment through crafts, story telling, and meet and greets with our education animals. As a babysitter and camp counselor, I enjoy engaging children in activities that help broaden their minds and understandings of the world — whether that be sharing my love of reading books or going on an adventure throughout the neighborhood. I am up for anything, and I hope I am able to provide some much needed relief for parents and plenty of entertainment for your children!
