Find an after school nanny in Park Ridge, IL

Hi families! I’m Emily 👋🏼 A loving, experienced nanny with 10+ years in childcare. I began babysitting in college, earned my Bachelor’s in English, and went on to teach Pre-K and elementary students in Spain. 🇪🇸 Later, I pursued my Master’s in Early Childhood Education with a focus on Special Education. I’ve worked in classrooms ranging from Pre-K through 8th grade and am comfortable caring for children of all ages and abilities. I prioritize creating a calm, nurturing environment that supports kids’ social-emotional development and curiosity. Some of my favorite activities include reading, yoga, outdoor play, crafts, and long walks! I speak conversational Spanish and would be happy to practice with your little ones. I’m CPR certified, have my own car, and am great with pets. Since I teach during the school year, I’m currently available for seasonal summer care, with ongoing availability for evening and weekend babysitting. I’d love to build a warm, trusted relationship with your family! Warmly, Emily 🤍

Hi, my name is Cielo! I’m the eldest of my siblings and have a natural knack for nurturing and caregiving. I’m currently working on getting my MBA, and I recently finished Mechanical Engineering degree at Northern Illinois University which has taught me excellent problem-solving and time-management skills which are great qualities for babysitting! I have hands-on experience caring for children, including a babysitting role during the summer of 2022 and helping raise my two younger sisters from infancy. I’m confident in creating a safe, fun, and educational environment for kids of all ages. Let’s connect! I’d love to meet your family and provide the care and support you’re looking for!

Hello! My name is Amy, and I’m 27 years old. I recently graduated with a BFA in Graphic Design from Northeastern Illinois University. I am currently seeking part-time or full-time childcare opportunities throughout the year. I have over 10 years of experience caring for children of all ages, including infants, toddlers, young children, and teenagers. I am also currently working as a special needs paraprofessional, where I support and care for children with diverse learning and developmental needs. Additionally, I volunteer in my church nursery and have experience supervising larger groups of children during special events at a local preschool. I truly enjoy engaging with kids through creative and fun activities like arts and crafts, painting, drawing, imaginative play, tea parties, reading, and games. I’m very much a kid at heart, and children naturally feel comfortable and happy around me. I am also comfortable with pets. I have a dog that I care for daily, including walking, feeding, and administering medication, and I help care for my aunt’s cats when she is out of town. I am happy to assist with light cleanup after the children and can prepare simple meals or snacks as needed. I would love the opportunity to care for your children and create a safe, fun, and nurturing environment for them. Thank you for your consideration!
