Booked by 6 families in Cicero, IL

I have been working as a Babysiiter/Nanny for about 11 years. I worked in the early childhood center in my college freshmen year with Infants through the age of 4 years old. I worked with a wonderful family for about 5 years. I had many more families I worked with for a couple of years as well, and date nights. I like to inform the parents on how their children are doing. I love children, I also enjoy playing with them and teaching them how to learn new things such as reading doing math problems and much more. I am responsible, honest, friendly and have great communication with parents.

Elizabeth responded quickly, was prompt and interacted well with our children. I would gladly use her again.

Hi families! ☀️ I’m Edna, an experienced nanny/babysitter with a background in early childhood development (Malcolm X College) and several years working with infants, toddlers, and preschoolers. I love keeping kids engaged with outdoor play, crafts, reading, and fun hands-on activities. I’m reliable, patient, and comfortable driving kids to activities, helping with routines, and supporting busy families however I can. If you’re looking for summer support or part-time care, I’d love to connect!

Edna has been serving as our two-year-old daughter's regular part-time nanny for the past six months or so, and she's been an absolute joy. She is not only teaching my kiddo Spanish, but she keeps her engaged in arts and crafts activities and works with her on good habits like picking up her toys. She is very sensitive and in tune with our daughter's emotions, and every morning my daughter races to the door in excitement to see her. She is a true natural with children, and she is responsive and communicative with my husband and me.

Hello! I’m Letty, a Chicago native with a heart for caring for others. With a lifelong passion for nurturing children, I’ve become the go-to babysitter among friends and families, cherishing every moment spent guiding and supporting young minds. Recently, I’ve had the joy of caring for three families with children under 7, where I focused on creating safe, engaging, and loving environments. During college, I also taught 2nd graders at a local church, helping them develop a love for learning and growth. I am fluent in Spanish and happy to introduce or reinforce Spanish with your little one if you’d like. I’m also brushing up on my French. Families describe me as adaptable, reliable, and genuinely passionate about creating a nurturing atmosphere. I am fully vaccinated (COVID-19 + booster and the latest flu shot) and happy to provide references upon request. I’d love to connect and learn how I can best support your family’s needs. Please feel free to reach out. I’m flexible with scheduling and eager to be a trusted part of your journey.

Letty was absolutely lovely! So sweet and caring with our children and kept us updated throughout the night.

Growing up my grandma owned a daycare and I would help her take care of kids and plan arts and crafts time for them. I also have recent experience over the past 2 summers of working at a stay away camp looking over multiple different age groups of kids over the age of 6 full time. After my first summer I was promoted to leader of my cabin group and have learned to keep things together, better my communication, and still keep kids happy! Pets wise, I have 3 cats and a dog so I know how to manage!
