Find an after school nanny in Lincolnwood, IL

Hi! I am a 23 year old recent college graduate who is planning on starting nursing school this summer. I grew up as the eldest sibling and eldest cousin of our family, so I have had ample experience caring for younger children of all ages. I also have a 4-year-old golden retriever at home and love working with pets. My friends would describe me as energetic, optimistic, creative and responsible. I grew up babysitting children of family members and family friends ranging from 3 months to 12 years old. I also volunteered at the Post Anesthesia Care Unit at Lurie Children's Hospital for a summer, where I helped toddlers and young children recover after surgeries. Whether this meant playing bedside coloring book games, telling a funny story, taking patient temperatures, assisting with procedures and more -I have plenty of experience working with children and remaining calm in a high pressure setting. I am excited to use my experience to best care for your children and pets!

Hello, I'm a professionally state licensed elementary teacher and Montessori trained educator with six years experience teaching multi-age children in the elementary classroom. I am fun, creative, and caring and have spent my whole life caring for and educating children, working with every age group from infant through high school. I love spending time with my young son, spending time outdoors, playing with sounds and music, giving him sensory and practical life experiences, and reading books. In my spare time, I work on writing projects and watercolor paint.

Hello—I’m a dependable, thoughtful caregiver with a calm, grounded presence and strong attention to detail. I bring a professional mindset to every home I work in, along with a genuine appreciation for creating environments where people (and pets) feel comfortable, supported, and well cared for. For child care, I have experience with children ages 5–12 and enjoy engaging them in reading, writing, arts and crafts, and both indoor and outdoor play. I also provide homework support, including tutoring in reading, writing, and elementary French. I’m an excellent cook and am happy to prepare nutritious, thoughtfully planned meals. I am particularly attentive to children with neurodiverse needs and understand the importance of consistency, patience, and following established routines. I’m comfortable working within specific structures or care plans to support each child’s comfort, focus, and overall well-being. For senior care, I offer warm, respectful companionship along with practical support such as meal preparation, light organization, and medication reminders. I’ve seen firsthand how meaningful it is for families to have someone they trust to step in, and I take that responsibility seriously, providing both ease for the family and genuine connection for the individual. For pet care, I have extensive experience with dogs and cats of all sizes, ages, and medical needs. I’m comfortable with walking, feeding, playing, and administering medications, including injections and subcutaneous fluids. I’m at ease with large breeds and high-energy animals and have no concerns about shedding. I’m comfortable with a wide range of temperaments and energy levels; however, I am not a behavioral trainer. For the safety and well-being of both your pet and me, I do expect a baseline of manageable behavior and clear communication around any known triggers or routines. I’m always happy to follow established guidance to ensure a smooth and positive experience. Above all, I am reliable, discreet, and attentive. I understand the importance of trust when inviting someone into your home, and I aim to provide not just support but a sense of calm confidence that everything is being handled with care.

Hi! My name is Autumn and I’m a caring, responsible babysitter with 5 years of experience working with infants, toddlers, preschoolers, older children, and children with disabilities. I love creating a safe, fun, and nurturing environment for kids of all ages and abilities. I’m reliable, patient, and excited to support families when they need an extra helping hand.

I am a full-time Teacher Assistant at a school, where I work closely with toddler age children to support their learning, routines, and emotional development. I also attend college, where I am continuing my education and building skills that strengthen my ability to work with families. Through my work experience as an assistant teacher and occasional babysitter for neighbors, I have gained hands-on experience providing care, structure, and patience while helping children feel safe, supported, and encouraged. I genuinely love caregiving because I enjoy building trusting relationships and being someone children and families can rely on. On a personal note, I am a very patient, responsible, and warm person who values kindness and consistency, and I take pride in creating a positive and nurturing environment wherever I work.
