Find an after school nanny in Elmwood Park, IL

I am starting a social work master's in the city in the fall, pivoting from a career in science and health writing, and I am looking for summer nanny jobs and babysitting opportunities beyond summer! I am creative, conscientious, and have over 10 years of childcare experience, including in schools, Christian education, babysitting, and tutoring. I also have several years of special education experience and feel very comfortable around kids with disabilities and/or neurodivergence. I love animals and have a dog of my own and would be happy to support you in running your household (childcare, pet care, light tidying, and whatever else you might need!). My favorite activities to do with kiddos include outdoor education, art projects, and guiding them through simple cooking and baking.

Hi! My name is Angel, and I’m a college student and aspiring nurse offering childcare, senior care, and household services. I’m caring, patient, responsible, and dependable, and I genuinely enjoy helping others. I have experience caring for children through babysitting, as well as caring for younger siblings and cousins. I’m comfortable with supervision, meal preparation, activities, routines, and creating a safe and positive environment for children. I also have experience caring for family members and can assist seniors with companionship, meals, light household tasks, errands, and everyday needs. My nursing education has strengthened my attention to detail, patience, and safety-focused mindset. I’m also happy to help with light cleaning, laundry, organizing, meal preparation, and errands. I’m respectful of each family’s home and routines and always strive to make things easier for the people I care for. While I don’t provide pet care, I’d be happy to help families with children, seniors, and household needs!

Hi! My name is Katie, and I’m a Licensed Social Worker (LSW) with an MSW from Columbia University. I’m based in Chicago, pursuing a career in pediatric medical social work, while looking for part-time and full-time childcare opportunities in the meantime! I have years of experience working with children in schools, hospitals, and clinical settings, including extensive experience supporting children with developmental disabilities and complex needs. Through my social work training and hands-on experience, I’ve developed a strong understanding of child development and bring a warm, patient, creative, and compassionate approach to working with kids. I’m comfortable caring for children with a wide range of personalities, abilities, and needs, and I’m passionate about creating environments where children feel safe, supported, and able to have fun. I’m also experienced with pet care and household help. I’m reliable, attentive, responsible, and genuinely love working with children. I’d love to chat and learn more about what your family is looking for!

Hi! I’m Tiana, a teacher and longtime lover of working with kids. I am currently a licensed special education teacher and have experience working with children across a variety of ages, personalities, and needs. Working with kids is something I genuinely enjoy, and I love creating an environment where they feel safe, comfortable, and cared for. As a teacher, I’m patient, responsible, organized, and used to handling everything from big emotions and busy schedules to homework help and keeping kids entertained. I’m also comfortable working with children who have different learning styles or additional needs. I believe babysitting should be more than simply supervising children, so I enjoy getting to know each child and finding activities that they genuinely enjoy. I’m happy to help with homework, meals, bedtime routines, playtime, crafts, reading, outdoor activities, and whatever else makes your family’s routine a little easier. I’m also comfortable following parents’ routines and expectations because I know every family does things a little differently. Outside of teaching, I recently got married and moved to Chicago with my husband. I love spending time with family and friends, cooking, exploring the city, and being outdoors. I’m a warm, dependable, and easygoing person, but I also understand the importance of structure and boundaries when caring for children. Most importantly, I want parents to feel completely comfortable knowing their children are in good hands. I’ll treat your home and your family with respect and care, and I’ll do my best to make your kids feel safe, happy, and cared for while you’re away!

Hello! I have been babysitting since before I could drive at 13 years old and have always loved it. I often babysat for a family that had a 2, 4, and 6 year old during the evenings and bedtime. I also consistently cared for a 9 month only. I then coached at a local gymnastic facility and ran kids birthday parties, taught classes, and summer camps. Following that, I taught as an assistant teacher at a Preschool for two years. The second year, I ran my own classroom of 4 year olds. I have had the most experience with ages 1-5, but also have experience with infants and older elementary students. I am from Troy, Michigan and moved to Chicago! I have a full time job during the week, but am hoping to babysit mostly just on the weekends and occasionally after school. Please let me know if you have any questions!
