Jennifer $25 per hour for 1 child

I’m a caring, responsible, and patient childcare professional with 8 years of experience working with children. I have 6 years of experience caring for toddlers and 2 years of experience working with infants, which has helped me develop a strong understanding of children’s needs, routines, and development. Although I’m new to working as a private nanny, I’m excited to bring my childcare experience into a more personal setting where I can build a strong connection with the children and family I work with. I enjoy creating a safe, loving, and fun environment where children feel comfortable, supported, and encouraged to learn and grow. I’m dependable, organized, and willing to be flexible with a family’s routine. I’m also comfortable around pets and happy to help with reasonable household tasks such as tidying up after the children, doing their laundry, preparing simple meals, and keeping their areas organized. I’m looking forward to finding a family where I can be a trustworthy and supportive part of their everyday lives.

Booked by 1 family in Chicago, IL

Northwest Chicago/Suburbs Bilingual Nanny Available ✨ I am Sky, your new dependable, caring, communicative candidate..here to offer my babysitting/nannying services. I am 20 years old, currently a part time student and homemaker. I have experience with children of all ages, since I was about 12. This ranges from volunteering in a daycare setting with ages 2-5 (prior to working age), tutoring math to elementary students, babysitting for family, current nanny to one family once a week (looking for more!) and being a mom to one sweet toddler. I am a: NON-SMOKER CPR/FIRST AID CERTIFIED BILINGUAL IN ENGLISH/SPANISH FULLY VACCINATED, CLEAN BACKGROUND CHECK. Willing to show proof of anything. I can provide age-appropriate activities, work on developmental milestones, hands-on learning, light housework, meal prep. I do not drive, but I have reliable transportation and am willing to travel within 10 miles of 60[removed]4. I would love to continue to build my career in nannying/childcare and would appreciate the experience, plus creating a bond with your little! Given children are so absorbent in these ages, I love teaching new skills/information or working on what they may already need help with. I believe teaching is best taught through play and made fun. I am available for one time jobs or consistent care. My rate is $20-25/hr. I can care for up to 3-4 total children, an example of what I have experience with handling at once is one infant and the rest were toddler/older age. I look forward to hearing from someone interested. As a parent myself, I know how it feels making sure you leave your precious world in the right hands. And to you I say, hakuna matata. 😉🤗 Thank you and have a blessed day.

"Johanna is AMAZING! My two boys love her - she does everything from amazing arts & crafts, to helping with homework, to getting them playing outside! She also drives them and does everything involved with after school activities: packing snacks, getting the right gear, etc."

"When we hired Amani, we felt like we hit the jackpot. We were very lucky to find her on UrbanSitter at the beginning of school year. She was picking up kids from school, taking them to afternoon activities, helping them with assignments. She prepped food for them, helped organize their closets and keep their spaces neat and orderly. We would hire her again in a heartbeat."
