Find an after school nanny in Niles, IL

Hi! My name is Jakaira, but you can call me Kai. I am 19 years old and currently attending college part-time to pursue a nursing career. I am also a beginner caregiver for older adults. I have over 10 years of childcare experience, as I have been helping care for children since I was 9 years old. Over the years, I have discovered that I truly enjoy caring for children, building strong bonds with them, and developing positive relationships with their families. I love helping children learn new things, creating fun activities, and getting to know each child’s unique personality. I am also happy to help with homework, clean up after activities, and prepare simple meals when needed. In my free time, I enjoy painting, being creative, and coming up with fun and engaging activities for children. I was also a dancer throughout high school, which taught me discipline, patience, and teamwork. In addition to childcare, I am beginning my journey as a caregiver for older adults. While I am still gaining experience, I am a fast learner, dependable, and always willing to help. One of the things I enjoy most about caregiving is building meaningful connections, listening to people’s stories, and providing support when they need it. I am also comfortable around pets and have plenty of experience caring for dogs, as I grew up with them and currently have one of my own. I look forward to helping families by providing reliable, compassionate, and attentive care.

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?
