Find an after school nanny in Palos Heights, IL

Hello! I have only recently joined this app so I do not have any reviews but I am able to provide references if needed. I'm currently looking for a part-time or full-time nanny position within the city. I have over 11 years of experience working with children in a variety of settings, including daycare centers, private nanny positions, and as a substitute teacher assistant with Chicago Public Schools. I'm hoping to find my next long-term family—one I can build a strong relationship with while providing a safe, nurturing, and engaging environment where your child(ren) can learn, grow, and thrive. I'm CPR certified, trained in SBS and SIDS prevention, up to date on my Tdap vaccine, and fluent in both English and Spanish. If you think I might be a good fit for your family, I'd love to connect and chat more. Thank you!

Hi there, I am Maria. I have a BA in education from Columbia College Chicago. I worked as a teacher for 8 years; I have experience with children from 2 years old to school age. I have 3 children of my own; so that adds to my experience with children 😊. I currently am not in the education field, I currently work for a social service agency and work with children. I am available on weekends and provide overnight care Friday and Saturday only. I provide childcare in my home. I looking forward to meet you and your children.

I have experience caring for children of different ages, and I truly enjoy creating a safe, fun, and nurturing environment for them. I’ve helped with daily routines such as homework, playtime, organizing activities, and keeping a consistent schedule. I understand how important it is for children to feel comfortable, supported, and engaged. I’m patient, attentive, and dependable, and I always make safety my top priority. I communicate well with both children and parents, making sure everyone feels heard and informed. I enjoy being creative through games, crafts, and outdoor activities, and I’m able to adapt to each child’s unique personality and needs. While I don’t have much experience with cooking yet, I’m very willing to learn and follow any instructions or meal guidelines provided. What makes me a great caregiver is my genuine care for children, my strong sense of responsibility, and my ability to stay calm and positive in any situation. I strive to build trust and create a warm environment where kids can learn, grow, and have fun.

My first job was babysitting in Chicago and western suburbs. I enjoy caring for children. I am a former television journalist, field producer, and news team manager with national and regional experience in multiple cities at major news companies. I have earned a bachelor’s and master’s degree, so far. I was awarded an honorary doctorate for extensive community-focused digital media programming. . I left it all to form a youth-focused nonprofit in Chicago. After helping youth and young parents with their children, I recently decided I would try being a nanny/child caregiver when another nanny told me I would be great at it because of my nurturing personality, skills and love for children & youth. I also love cleaning homes and businesses. I am the daughter of an amazing mother who cleaned at a large hospital. I joined the staff to raise money for college. I can do light cleaning or deep cleaning. I have my own car with insurance for drop offs or pick-ups. I know that having a busy family with children plus cleaning a home can be challenging. I love to utilize my large repertoire of skills and experiences to help others do better in life. I believe this Urban Sitter will be a good opportunity for me to grow as I help families and help to nurture and teach children while fulfilling a need for parents. Parents can breathe easy because their children will be safe, nurtured, and taught by me…a person who will genuinely do all I can to ensure their children are safe, nurtured, protected, and cared for by a sitter who takes her job seriously. I do speak Spanish at an intermediate level. I studied in Cuernavaca, Mexico. I understand as long as it is spoken at a slower speed. I love seeing precious children and teens grow and learn. Playing a role in this process brings me joy.
