Find an after school nanny in Elmwood Park, IL

I've been in radio broadcasting since I was 20 years old. Currently I'm the midday host at 94.7FM (10-3pm) and mother of an amazing 12-year-old son. My passion is to find the commonality in all humans. To add some levity and humor to all of the things we deal with in life. My childcare experience started very early in life. I was babysitting my older sisters 4 kids since I was 15 years old. I've been a room parent in my son's classroom from K-6th grade. I've been heavily involved in my son's travel baseball team for the last 5 years. Caring for other kids on the team. Giving them rides to and from events. Having sleep overs. Always the chaperone for the team to water parks, dinners, games and more. I've also been a dog walker. Owned my own service for a few years. I'm comfortable around any animal and enjoy them as much as I do children. I grew up with a friend whose father was a quadriplegic and helped with his care. I was very close to my grandmother and wanted to make her comfortable in her senior years. Washing her hair, helping her get up the stairs and cooking for her. Now that my son is getting older, and my schedule is flexible, I want to help other families. Not having family or resources in Chicago to help raise my son, I know how extremely valuable it would have been to have had help from a sitter that I could trust. I want to be that comfort for others.

Hi! My name is Rachel and I have eight years of professional nanny experience. Previously, I was responsible for two boys, ages three to nine, and now am a part-time nanny to a four year old girl! During my time with my charges, I manage their activities schedule, transport them to said activities, prepare snacks and meals and occasionally help with housework. Prior to my nanny experience, I was employed through the YMCA as an after-school counselor and mentor. I love getting to work with kids because of their unique personalities. Being a part of your child's development is an honor I immensely appreciate. In my free time, I love to read, write, bake, explore new restaurants and spend time with friends and family. Would you like to connect further on the help you're looking for?
