A little bit about me

Hello families!

My name is Molly, I'm 22 years old, and I am currently looking for live-in nanny opportunities!

I take pride in being a compassionate, understanding, and hardworking person with a passion for making a difference in children's lives.

I believe that seeing the world through a child's eyes and meeting them where they are at currently is the key to truly understanding them.

The thing that sets me apart from other candidates is my unique ability to connect with and see a child for who they really are.

As a creative writer, I love to take what I know about reading, writing, and other creative outlets and instill them into children's daily lives.

The world is a magical place, so exploring and going outside is also quite important to me.

I am always available to connect, so feel free to reach out!

I look forward to hearing from you!

The most important part about being a nanny...

Connecting with children and teaching them valuable lessons that they can carry with them throughout all different life stages.

The most important part about being a nanny...

The sweetest thing that's ever happened to me took place when I worked for a daycare, taking care of one-year-olds. One of them particularly favored me and always sat on my lap and tugged on my hair. Every day, I would put him down for his nap and I soon began to sing him to sleep (he was a rambunctious kid and it took a while for him to fall asleep).

Anyway, one day I was singing and he was staring up at me with big blue eyes. And then... he put his two tiny fists together, which is sign language for 'more'. He learned how to do it earlier in the day. And he was telling me in the only way that he knew how, that he wanted 'more'.

It’s moments like this that I am truly grateful for working in the childcare field.

Babysitter Available in Chicago, IL: Alyssa W.

My name is Alyssa but everyone calls me Lyssa. I’m the oldest of 6. I have 3 sisters and 2 brothers. That’s actually how I got into babysitting then from there it went to other family members and children of friends. I’ve always loved kids and I’m a big kid at heart myself. Usually right before school starts back I take all the kids in the family on a mini field trip whether it’s to the movie theater or to an arcade. In school I took child development courses. So I have certificates for SIDS and Shaken baby. I am also familiar with children with allergies and with autism.
