Find an after school nanny in Harwood Heights, IL

Hello! I have 8 years of mixed experience with children 6 weeks to 10 years old with a specific focus on language, emotional, and cognitive development 6 months - 6 years. I am well-versed in conflict resolution, potty training, Montessori methods, and growth of fine and gross motor skills. I laugh loudly at the park and speak softly at the library. I make up songs with children that include their names and interests and teach children to cook. I drive families to airports, grocery shop, meal prep, handle repairs, organize and schedule appointments, and coordinate other household staff. I am adept in tutoring up through high school curriculum. I am able to set and keep pace with fast and slow track learning. I have experience with asthma, hearing aids, G-tubes, juvenile diabetes, autism, and many other special care needs. I got into the care business as a profession after helping my grandmother through her twilight years with dementia. My main goal in life is to be helpful. I have plenty of references who would love to hear from you and I look forward to hearing about your nanny/house manager needs!

My name is Alex and I'm a recent graduate from the University of Chicago. I've been doing contract work since I graduated, but am looking for something more consistent as I prepare for and apply to law school. I'm offering child, pet, and house care services. I babysat throughout high school and, during the pandemic, nannied in Telluride, CO while attending class remotely for a year. While nannying I drove the kids to and from school, cooked, cleaned the house, tutored, fed and walked the dog, and regularly took the kids skiing.

Hi! I have cared for my family member in different moments of their lives, from my brother's children to both my grandmas, as well for family pets. From that, I became confident in my abilities, care and compassion even when things get a little messy. I have treated caregiving as a side-hustle for a long time, sometimes being a child's cook or by giving an injured iguana, a bath (I also help my veterinarian friend sometimes!). You can trust me with your loved ones as I will take care of them as if they were my family.

Hi! I'm Lucy, I am 18 years old and moved to Chicago for college. I am currently a freshman at Harold Washington Community College, and am offering child care and household services. I love working with kids and have been working with them for the past 4 years, at two preschools. I am in college for a degree in early childhood education. I don't drive right now. I can also do household chores like cook, clean, and run errands I have cats and dogs and am very comfortable with animals! I do not have any allergies to worry about.

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!
