Find an after school nanny in Forest Park, IL

hi - my name is Erika! I’m currently a student at UIC majoring in Marketing. I offer child care and household services. I have experience with children of different age range, from infants to older children up to 12 years old. I’ve babysat neighbors or family members and I used to be a swim instructor for children at big blue swim school! My experience also include school pick up/drop off, crafts, feeding, and household chores like cleaning and running errands.

Hi! I have been working with kids for 15 years. I love playing music and games with the children I work with. I also like to bake and cook teaching the kids valuable skills as well. In the past five years I have babysat children ranging from 6 months old to 12 years old. I nannied and did e-learning/school during the pandemic with a first grader and fifth grader with a range of responsibilities from preparing meals to helping complete classwork to planning activities for the day. I am currently going back to school to be a special education teacher.

I am a grandmother and have watched my two grandchildren in Tennessee for more than 15 years. Recently I have moved to the Chicago area so I could help with my grandchildren here. They are ages 3 and 10. I have also helped out friends and family with their dogs while they are on vacation.

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 parents! I’m Ashton, the oldest of seven, so caregiving has always come naturally to me. Growing up, I was the built-in “little parent,” and that early experience sparked my passion for working with children. I’m currently completing my undergraduate degree in Human Development and Learning and preparing to begin my path toward becoming an Occupational Therapist. I also work as a paraprofessional at Easterseals, where I support children with ASD, IDD, and a wide range of developmental needs. This role has strengthened my patience, creativity, and ability to adapt to each child’s unique communication and learning style. Outside of school and work, I’ve spent years providing babysitting and dog-sitting for families, neighbors, and of course my own siblings. Whether it’s helping with routines, engaging in sensory-friendly play, or simply creating a safe and fun environment, I truly enjoy being part of a child’s day. I love games, dance parties, karaoke, arts & crafts, and tackling big puzzles, anything that helps kids explore, grow, and have fun. Parents tell me I bring calm energy, responsibility, and genuine connection to the kids I care for. I’d love to support your family in whatever way you need; whether it’s childcare, homework help, structured play, or a reliable extra set of hands. Looking forward to meeting you!
