Destiny $17 per hour for 1 child
Booked by 1 family in North Riverside, IL

Hi ! - My name is Destiny , I’m currently not working as I stay home with my baby boy who is 2yrs old! I have 3 younger brothers who I have taken care of at one point in time. I started expanding to babysitting some of my coworkers, friends and family’s children. I have taken care of kids of all ages within my church as well. I love to go out with the kids on beautiful days and on those not so beautiful days I love connect with the child to create a bond over any of my many hobbies such as dancing, reading, sketching , and etc. I also am open and eager to be expanding to house and senior care!

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 ✨✨💗

“Maura was amazing today with our 10 month old baby! He is going through stranger anxiety, separation anxiety, teething, AND wasn't feeling the best today, and despite all of that, he really enjoyed spending time with Maura and felt comfortable almost immediately. That almost never happens! Maura was so sweet with him, kept him engaged and happy, and even loaded/unloaded our dishwasher & straightened up during his nap and before leaving for the day. He had a really fun day! We are very excited to have Maura back as our regular part-time nanny and sitter!”
