Hello! My name is Hannah, and I’m currently studying Public Health at the University of Illinois at Chicago. I am also an assistant preschool teacher.

I am a loving mother of 4 teens, 19, 15.15 and 14. I work as a Buyer for a Federal Contractor and as a Hairstylist part time. I have a genuine love for children and have helped raise my 7 nieces and nephews. I have plenty of children around me between family and friends that range from infants to school age that I sit from time to time. I also have 2 children ages 5 and 2, that spend a great deal of time at my home. They were God children of my deceased nephew that we grew to love as family. I am very caring, patient, fun and understanding. Most children attach to me easily. I am very experienced and patient with infants.

Booked by 1 family in Hometown, IL

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!

Oriannie $26 per hour for 1 child

Hello ✨my name is Oriannie. I am currently seeking a position as a nanny, a role I truly carry out with love, patience, and dedication. I genuinely enjoy caring for children, supporting their development, and creating a safe, happy, and nurturing environment for them and their families. I am a responsible, caring, and trustworthy person with experience providing quality childcare. I am currently available and very interested in a full-time position. I have attached my resume and would be happy to connect with any family looking for someone they can truly trust. I am a registered nurse, and my credentials have been officially recognized (validated) in the United States; therefore, I do not need a separate CPR certification. I would be happy to provide copies of my academic transcripts and other documentation. Yes, I drive to work. I take full responsibility for the baby's care; my duties include preparing meals and handling everything related to the baby, such as light housekeeping and facilitating routines that support their development. I can provide references from families I have worked with previously. Spanish is my native language, though this has never been an obstacle to my work. I hold a valid work permit for the United States ✨✨💗
