Hello families, My name is Hannah and I have been in the childcare industry for the the past 18 years. My experience began with working as an inclusion aid and camp counselor with the Chicago Park district for over 10 years. I am currently a full-time preschool teacher for the Archdiocese of Chicago and on my free time I enjoy assisting with children's parties , helping busy families manage their households and pairing families and nannies together. Although childcare is my specialty, I enjoy being a companion for seniors. I enjoy helping around the house, running errands and just being a companion.

Hi! I’m Abi — a recent college grad with a strong background in childcare. I’ve spent the last few years working as a camp counselor and babysitter, and I bring both professional experience (3+ years) and a lifetime of family caretaking to the table. I’m also certified in Adult + Infant CPR and First Aid. I have always felt like working with kids has been my calling - I grew up taking care of a brother who was 12 years younger than me, which gave me hands-on experience with every stage of childhood. As a camp counselor at Steve and Kate's Camp, I learned to take care of kids between the ages of 4-12, and I was promoted to Youngest Camper Lead after my first summer, which put every child between the ages of 4-6 (typically around 15-20 per day) under my care! I am well-practiced with emotional management and conflict resolution with young kids, and I have a lot of experience summoning the kind of energy that it takes to both entertain and care for a room full of littles! I love kids of all ages and have always found it pretty easy to get along with all kinds of personalities. I have experience with and would love to work with children between the ages of 1-10 years old. I would love to connect and see if we could be a good match!

I spent two years as an au pair, where I developed strong skills in childcare, household management, and building meaningful connections with families. After that, I became a certified CNA and have worked in caregiving for the past year, providing patient-centered support in both home and facility settings. My strengths lie in empathy, communication, and creating a safe, nurturing environment for those in my care. have spent the past year working as a caregiver, which has deepened my skills in safety, patience, and compassionate care. I bring a calm, reliable presence and genuinely enjoy helping children thrive in safe and loving environments. I’m confident caring for kids of all ages and happy to help with light housekeeping, meal prep, and creating engaging activities.

I am the oldest of seven kids and have extensive experience caring for children from birth to age 13, including helping to raise three of my younger siblings. With a solid background in child care, I'm well-equipped to support families in creating a happy and healthy environment.

Hi! My name is Theo and I'm an artist with extensive childcare experience. I began my childcare journey in 2020 as a private swim instructor for children with special needs, then moved into part time and full time nannying while working as a barista. I currently work as an Outdoor Lead Guide for a young toddler class at a Montessori preschool. As much as I love my students and the community of families I work with, I am attending a full time circus school program beginning in the fall and need to work later hours in the day to accommodate with my class schedule. My favorite thing about working with children is witnessing them experience the world for the first time. It's truly amazing how much you can learn about life by observing a kiddo's unfiltered perspective. Working with younger children has always brought a deep sense of fulfillment and joy to my life. I would love to meet you and your family to see if I'm the right fit for you and your needs!
