Find an after school nanny in Forest Park, IL

I’m a retired professional and Northwestern graduate with a caring, dependable nature and years of hands-on experience helping seniors and families. I cared for my father through his Alzheimer’s journey and now assist my 85-year-old mother-in-law and 86-year-old stepmom with daily needs — from shopping and meals to yardwork and companionship. I understand the challenges of caring for aging parents and know how to connect with those facing memory issues in a calm, positive way. I keep a clean, organized home, am an excellent cook, and a very efficient grocery shopper. I also bring over 40 years of experience in yard care and maintenance, ensuring that both homes and outdoor spaces are well cared for. In addition to senior care, I’m available for pet sitting, house sitting, and general household help. My goal is to make life easier, safer, and more enjoyable — and to bring dependable support to families who could use an extra hand.

I can do pet and house care. I am 22 and did this in my local neighborhood for 10 years before moving to Chicago. I love animals, I am highly experienced with them, and I know how to work with even the difficult ones.

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?
