Find an after school nanny in Oak Park, IL

Greetings! My name is Daniela, and I am 29 years old. I have over 8 years of experience working as a nanny and sitter for both short-term and long-term families. I view caring for children as a job that requires responsibility, diligence, patience, and, most importantly, genuine care and appreciation for both the children and their families. I truly enjoy creating a safe, nurturing, and positive environment where children can learn, grow, and have fun. As a nanny and sitter, I love engaging children in activities that are both fun and beneficial to their development, including puzzles, reading, creative activities, outdoor play, and helping with homework. I also have a Master’s degree in Counseling Psychology, which has given me additional knowledge and understanding of child development, communication, emotional well-being, and creating supportive relationships with children. A few fun facts about me: I am a huge country music fan and a proud Cubs fan! I look forward to getting to know your family and creating a caring and enjoyable experience for your little ones.

Hi, I’m Abby! I’ve been babysitting officially for the past 3 1/2 years, although, coming from a big family, I’ve been watching kids most of my life. I’m an artist and a college student. I started doing childcare in the nursery at my church when I was 12, and then worked as a summer camp counselor there until I was 14(stopped due to the pandemic). I was a camp counselor for Steve and Kate’s Camp during the summer of 2023 as well as this summer, and I’ve had various sitting jobs over the course of the past 3 years. I also do face painting for kids at parties sometimes too. I’m very creative, energetic, and open to new experiences, as well as a quick and diligent learner. In my free time, I roller skate, paint, play piano/guitar, practice makeup, play board games and video games, and do a little fashion design(amongst several other hobbies, haha). I also have experience taking care of cats and dogs and some senior caregiving, as well as elementary/middle school tutoring . I can also cook some basic meals, I’m pretty great at baking, and I know how to clean. I value making good connections with the kids I sit and their families, and I understand how much trust it takes to leave your child in someone else’s hands. I hope to be a great service to whomever I babysit for. :)

Hi! I'm Fariani—but most parents end up calling me Mary Poppins. 😊 Caring for children is more than a job to me—it's my passion. I'm a warm, reliable, and patient nanny with experience caring for children from newborns to teenagers, including 4 years working with a child with special needs with feeding tube. I also speak several languages French is my native language. I love creating fun, engaging, and educational days through reading, arts & crafts, parks, museums, board games, homework help, and teaching French.

I'm also happy to prepare healthy meals, help with light housekeeping, and maintain open, honest communication with parents. I'm looking for a family that values kindness, trust, and teamwork.

Hi, my name is Samia and I'm currently a student studying to become a nurse, with the goal of specializing in pediatric care. I am offering child care services. I have experience caring for children from ages 1 to 8 years old, including helping with feeding, dressing, playtime, reading, school drop-offs/pickups, and bedtime routines. I truly enjoy spending time with children, and I take pride in creating a safe, engaging, and nurturing environment for them. My goal is always to support both the child's emotional and physical development while keeping things fun and age-appropriate. I am CPR certified and well-versed in safety procedures for children. In addition to caregiving, I'm comfortable with pets-I have a dog myself-and understand how important they are to a family. I also have practical skills in cooking, cleaning, and I'm happy to drive to appointments or run errands as needed. Thank you for considering me. I look forward to the opportunity to care for your little ones!
