Meet college nannies and sitters from Meredith College

Hi! My name is Natalya and I am a Research assistant and student at UIC. I work as a Nursing tech at Northwestern twice a week. I am primarily available for occasional babysitting on weekend days and week nights! I’ve worked with high school students previously for two years in Chicago and for a year in Madrid, Spain. I am the second oldest of five girls so I have been taking care of younger siblings my whole life. I began babysitting about 12 years ago. I also worked as a nanny for one family for four years in college. I am hoping to eventually become a pediatrician! In my free time I love to read, run, and drink good coffee or tea.

Dear Parent, Good day! My name is Laura and I have been joyfully working with children for over ten years. I received my Child Development degree from Meredith College in 2002. I love caring for babies and toddlers. I have used my training and skills teaching preschool, working in daycare centers, and as a nanny for several families. I believe that children learn through activity and play. I strive to provide a nurturing environment in which children can learn and grow. As your nanny, I would plan developmental activities for your child. I engage children through reading books, singing songs, fun art projects, and trips to parks and libraries. I am CPR certified, have a valid NC driver license, and a reliable vehicle. I would love to meet with you and your child. Please find my resume at the bottom of this email. I look forward to hearing from you!

I have provided child care before, during and after graduating from Meredith College, I stayed home and homeschooled my own 2 children who are now 16.5, daughter, and 22, son. My daughter would love to come with me and play and snuggle too. When my children were young, I cared for several single Moms' kids and a couple of other families. As they grew older, I found a data entry job and real estate from home. I miss having time with little ones and would love to provide occasional care for others. I am a former lifeguard and have had my CPR recertified a few times over the years that included infants as well. My daughter and I also provided senior care to my 2 parents for the last 3+ years. I can provide transportation to shops, take out to lunch, provide activities, and accompany them to Dr appointments. I know how hard it is to find people one can trust and would love to help others after being blessed with having found amazing help. References are available!
