Meet college nannies and sitters from National Louis University

Hi my name is Melinda and I'm a State Certified Type 04 Teacher (Birth-3rd Grade) and credentialed Director. My degrees are in Early Childhood Education, Psychology (Human Growth and Development), Child Development, and Social Sciences. I also have my Masters in Early Childhood Administration and certified in First Aid/CPR. My dual doctoral studies include Curriculum, Advocacy, and Policy & Disability, Equity, and Education. I am also currently getting credentialed in Early Intervention. I am a professional development nerd/enthusiast 🤗. My passion is working with and advocating for children and families. I have worked or volunteered with children my entire life because they just bring me such love, light, and life! I speak and present on play-based learning and whole child development. I am a loving, nurturing, fun, and active teacher, mother (1 biological and raised 4 foster children), and actively organize community services and events. If you need services from a loving and highly qualified teacher leader, please feel free to contact me. I look forward to meeting and working with many new amazing families! I do UrbanSitter on the side in my spare time. Best regards, Melinda

Hello my name is Jazzy. I love interacting with children. I been a child care provider/ babysitter for about over 10 years now. I feel comfortable working with multiple children. I am also bilingual and consider myself reliable responsible, and outgoing. I am also a dog lover!

I think of life as one great adventure, whether it be exploring the outdoors or taking an exotic journey via a good book. I have been teaching in Chicago Public Schools for 19 years, plus taught theater, gymnastics, and dance for 13 years at private studios before entering the school system. When not in the classroom you can find me running the streets of Chicago, cuddling with my cats, hiking canyons, eating chocolate, wandering art galleries, climbing mountains, catching a broadway show, snowboarding, or lost in thought at the museum. Happy to watch kids in a single setting or take them on an unforgettable adventure.

I have been babysitting/nannying since I was 13 years old (so decades at this point!). I am a classroom teacher (certified in EBD, DD, and SLD) and have taught all grade levels for over 14 years. I also taught K-5 gym and yoga for 4 years. I love playing with kids, being silly, singing, dancing, and spending time outside. I love cartoons, toys...and well, I'm a kid at heart! My priority is your child's well-being and safety. I have cat and dog sit and have spent considerable time with seniors either through social events or teaching yoga.

Hi! My name is Bushrah, and I’m caring, patient, and responsible babysitter who truly enjoys working with children. I’m currently in college to become a Registered Behavior Technician, where I’m learning how to support children’s development, routines, and positive behavior in a safe and nurturing way. I’m attentive, calm under pressure, and great at following parents’ instructions, I believe in creating fun, structured, and supportive environment where children feel safe and comfortable. Please note: I do provide babysitting at your home; I do not provide transportation for pick-up or drop off services.

Hi families, I am looking for a part time (25-30 hours a week) nanny position in the Lincoln Park area beginning sometime in April or early May. I’m available all day on Mondays, Tuesdays, and Fridays, with availability for shorter days on Wednesdays and Thursdays. Most of my experience is with infants, so I would love to find a position working with a baby! I received my Bachelor's degree in November 2023 and am now a graduate student pursuing my Master’s in Clinical Mental Health Counseling. I worked as an infant nanny throughout my time in undergraduate school and have worked with many families in/near the Lincoln Park area! I am knowledgeable on all things infant care – safe sleep, introducing solids, BLW, sleep regressions, developmental milestones, etc. I can commit to keeping this position through the end of my graduate school program, which ends in June 2026! Looking forward to connecting!
