Find an after school nanny in Evanston, IL

My name is Abby, I'm 28 and I have been a preschool teacher for 6+ years! I have been babysitting since age 16 and have had a love for children and babies, as well as family bonding, my whole life. I love cleaning and housekeeping, as well as providing care like meals and transportation for people. I love caring! Meeting new people is easy for me because I meet you where you are, and go from there. I excel at learning what support looks like for others. My philosophy includes the Reggio Emilia approach, being silly, teaching by example, hands-on experiences, and all the other parts of day-to-day life that make the world fun. Exploring challenges and learning in nature are also big parts of my teaching style. Observant, kind, and optimistic are words I would use to describe myself. Others have chosen charismatic, funny, honest, and "there." Kids are precious and I intend to show that in my work. It is my life's work! Thank you for your consideration!

I grew up in New York City and currently reside in Chicago. I spent the last 2.5 years teaching English in Thailand to pre-k students until second-grade students. I have a lot of experience working with kids in different ways, such as doing homework, making crafts, cooking, putting kids to bed, and so much more. I am very nurturing and responsible. I am also CPR certified. I am excellent with kids, and I hope to make your life easier by watching them and helping out in whatever way I can!

Hi! I'm Tessa, an experienced nanny, babysitter, and children's coach with a passion for helping kids learn and grow. I've babysat for years, worked as a part-time nanny, and currently serve as one of the Head Kids Coaches at Valko Jiu Jitsu Studio. I'm CPR certified, dependable, patient, and love creating a fun, safe, and engaging environment for children of all ages. Whether it's helping with homework, planning activities, maintaining routines, or simply being a positive role model, I take pride in providing attentive and reliable care for every family I work with.

Hello, I’m Hanna! I bring a unique blend of strategic thinking and playful creativity to my caregiving approach. Whether it's engaging in imaginative play with children, providing companionship for seniors, or supporting individuals with unique needs, I approach each relationship with curiosity, creativity, and a genuine desire to make a positive difference in the lives of those I care for. While my career has primarily been in corporate consulting and communications (Microsoft, Oracle, Zillow), I recently moved to Chicago to help raise my two nephews (1 and 3 years old) and pursue my passion for writing biographies of elders. Trained in Design Thinking innovation, I’m a skilled communicator and creative problem solver who tackles challenges with a roll-up-my-sleeves attitude. I also volunteer for a nonprofit called My Life, My Story, where I interview and author biographies of Veterans. I believe in respecting and learning from individuals of all ages, and strive to create meaningful connections in all my caregiving interactions. I’m trustworthy, reliable and compassionate, and committed to providing the highest level of care for your loved ones.

Hi! I'm Savannah and I'm a recent graduate from Northwestern University (with my B.A. in Psychology)! I have always loved working with kids and would love to be a helpful addition for your family! I love chatting and getting to know kids and all they have to share about, in addition to having lots of fun ideas for activities we can try! I'm also very solid in my knowledge of elementary-aged school subjects and could be a helpful tutor to your little ones (I am quite a nerd myself and actually enjoy helping with homework if that sounds useful!). I am into all kinds of hobbies including arts and crafts (especially crochet) and dancing, but always open to learn new things! I've volunteered with toddlers and elementary-aged children in different settings and was also a part-time babysitter for boys who were a bit older (end of middle school) this past year, so I can connect with various age groups. I thoroughly enjoy growing bonds with children of all ages and value the time I can spend acting as a strong role model, while still keeping it fun and safe for everyone! My goal is to really "get in where I fit in" for the family and provide any additional services as needed, whether it be walking the dog or cleaning up the kitchen, so we can discuss however it works best for your current situation. I currently work part-time in a psychology lab at Northwestern, so much of that is pretty flexible timing-wise. If this sounds like a good fit, feel free to reach out and I'm sure we can find a plan that works best. Looking forward to hearing from you!!
