Find an after school nanny in Skokie, 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! I am Lucila but you can also call me Mari. I am currently a senior at DeVry University and I have about 4-5 years of consecutive experience providing childcare for children mostly 5 and up. I am patient, attentive, and truly enjoy creating a fun and safe environment for kids. I love doing crafts, board games and puzzles but I can also help with homework, light cleaning and organizing especially after activities I have done a lot of school pickups(mostly walking to and from school). I love pets, mostly dogs. I might just take some time warming up to cats but don’t mind them at all.

Hi! My name is Jack. I am 24 years old, use he/him pronouns, and live in the Ravenswood area. I enjoy biking, playing card games, and exploring the surrounding area (I moved here recently). I graduated from Western Washington University in June of 2025, and finished with a Multidisciplinary studies major and a psychology minor. During the school year I work for CPS as a Special Education Classroom Assistant (SECA). In my work I primarily provide one-on-one assistance to children with both behavioral and intellectual difficulties, often in the elementary school age groups. At work my primary focus is keeping students safe and happy, but still ensuring they get what they need to be successful in school. Because of this, I have been exposed to a lot of different types of children, and have learned the importance of patience and listening when it comes to child care. I love caregiving because it gives me an outlet to help others and make the world a better place, all whilst making a living. I have a drivers license and a reliable car. I am more than happy to run errands, act as chauffeur, shop, and any thing else needed. I also have grown up alongside cats, dogs, chickens, fish, and bearded dragons. I am very comfortable around animals and more than willing to care for your furry (or scaly) family members too! The best way to reach me is by phone, just shoot me a message
