Find an after school nanny in Chicago, IL

Hi, my name is Suzanne! I’m energetic, creative, and patient, with a big heart for kids and the joy they bring. I love making children feel safe, included, and excited to learn and play. For the past three summers I’ve worked as a counselor at a stay-away summer camp where I lived with and cared for kids ages 8–15 for six weeks at a time. Beyond camp and taking care of older kids, I have a lot of experience caring for and babysitting toddlers 13 months and up and love how curious and playful that age is. I bring both structure and fun to every setting whether that means planning crafts, organizing games, or helping with homework. If your kids love video games I can hop into Roblox or Minecraft with them 😆 but I also enjoy screen-free activities like board games, card games, and creative projects. Along with child care I’m terrific at keeping a clean organized home, and I love pets just as much as kids. Growing up with ADHD shaped how I connect with children. I know how important it is to feel accepted and understood, and I make it my mission to ensure every child feels confident and happy being themselves. I also attended a boarding high school for art and creative writing, where I lived year-round. Since I was away from home and living in a dorm, I never needed a license, and now that I live in Chicago I rely on public transportation instead of driving. Sadly I won’t be able to provide transportation for your children.

Hi, my name is Janice and I am offering tutoring, babysitting, housesitting, and/or pet sitting services. I am from Ohio but moved to Chicago 3 years ago. I attended Miami University and received my degree in Early Childhood Education. While I was in school I was completing semester-long placements in a variety of classrooms with students ages raging from infant to 8 years old. I was also working a rotation at a few daycares as a substitute in the summers for 3 years. Since I have graduated in 2020, I have taught third and fourth grade. I just finished my fourth year as a teacher. I love being able to spend time with kids, teaching them while watching them learn and grow each day.

Hi! I’m a graduate student located in Chicago with over 10 years of childcare experience and an educational background in public health and psychology. I have held several nannying positions as well as being a regular date night sitter or anything inbetween. I am comfortable with children of all ages, particularly infants and toddlers, but I enjoy working with older children as well. I have some experience with children with physical and developmental disabilities that can be discussed further. For multiple years in college I was an ACT tutor and test prep tutor and worked with kids 10+ yrs old 1-on-1. I also used a childcare app “Wyndy”, where I babysat for at least 30 different families through out the years and have several pre-made reviews I can show you. I am the oldest of 7 as well so besides having professional experience with children, I really love just working with kids, having fun with them & supporting their development. As a caregiver I would describe myself as warm, open-minded, and encouraging of children’s’ curiosity. I love going outdoors with kids on walks, to museums, etc, but also know how to entertain at home. I pride myself on making sure kids feel as understood and respected as possible and am open to matching parenting styles. I’m comfortable with many different childcare situations and am open to discuss opportunities. I have a vehicle, am up to date on vaccinations, and no pet allergies. Let me know if you have any other questions! **AVAILABILITY: For Spring 2026, I am regularly unavailable on M and W afternoons due to my classes

Kendal Barbour- / 19 Filmmaker, Actress, and Optimist. Hi! I’m a friendly, dependable, and caring person with over 10 years of experience helping care for children and infants. Coming from a big family with four siblings, both older and younger than me, I’ve spent much of my life helping with childcare and learning how to be patient, responsible, and attentive to children’s needs at every stage of development. I am also CPR certified, giving families added peace of mind knowing their children are in safe and capable hands. I genuinely enjoy spending time with kids, whether that means helping with homework, reading stories, planning fun activities, encouraging creativity, or simply being a positive and supportive presence. My goal is always to create a safe, nurturing, and engaging environment where children can learn, grow, and have fun. I also have experience caring for a variety of animals, including dogs, cats, fish, birds, turtles, and lizards, so I’m happy to help with family pets as well. I graduated from a performing arts high school, where I studied acting, dance, stage combat, dialects, and stage management. My creative background helps me connect with children through games, storytelling, arts and crafts, music, and imaginative play. I’m organized, trustworthy, and easy to get along with, with strong communication skills and a flexible schedule. Whether it’s keeping routines on track, preparing simple meals, tidying up after activities, helping around the house, or providing attentive care for infants and children, I take pride in being someone families can count on and feel comfortable welcoming into their home.
