Hi! I’m Michelle, a nursing student currently completing my prerequisites with the goal of becoming a registered nurse. My background in healthcare and education has given me a strong foundation in safety, responsibility, and caring for others. I’m also CNA-trained and certified in CPR/BLS. I have several years of experience working with children of different ages. I previously worked as a support teacher with first-grade students, including children with neurodivergent needs, and as a camp counselor with young children. I also have experience caring for toddlers and creating age-appropriate activities such as crafts, baking, games, and outdoor play. I’m comfortable following routines, preparing simple meals, helping with bedtime, and keeping children engaged in a safe and positive environment. I love caregiving because I enjoy being someone children can feel comfortable and safe around while also helping them learn, explore, and become more independent. I’m patient, attentive, and dependable, and I understand how important it is for parents to have someone they can trust. A little about me: I’m originally from Mexico and speak both English and Spanish. I recently moved to Chicago and love exploring the city, trying new foods, crocheting, baking, and spending time outdoors. I’m currently balancing school with childcare work, so I’m especially interested in part-time and recurring opportunities that fit around my class schedule.
Hi! As someone with almost two years of teaching and caretaking experience, I'm passionate about giving children a safe, fun environment to learn and grow. More about me: - I moved to Chicago from California this year for my job (I am a UX copywriter!) - I love cooking (currently learning a new recipe from my mom on FaceTime each week) - I have always loved working with kids and plan to go back to school for a degree in education (hopefully in the next decade) I would love to chat about how I can best help you! Ask me about any of the following experiences: 6 months: Teacher's Aide to a kindergarten summer camp 1 year: Tutor at after-school center 4 months: Manager at after-school center
Family has always been incredibly important to me. I am one of seven children and therefore grew up in a household managing a lot of different ages, experiences, and emotions. I have nannied and babysat consistently since I was 18. My experience has solidified my desire to continue to help families. Additionally, I have my bachelors degree from Marquette University in accounting and finance. I also am a CPA. I currently work as an auditor at Deloitte. I am comfortable caring for up to four children. I am patient, creative, and friendly, and I enjoy playing outdoor sports, board games, and educational games. I am comfortable enforcing household rules and always follow parents' preferred communication methods regarding their child's day. I am also CPR and First Aid certified. I have a car and am comfortable with pets. More than anything, I look forward to creating a fun and enriching environment for your children.
Hi!! My name is Emma. I currently work as a Clinical Trial Data Specialist Sunday-Thursday 9-5. I love kids and was a nanny for 3 little girls for over 2 years. I started when the youngest was 4 months old. During that time I was also an EMT. I started babysitting when I was 14 years old. My responsibilities have included driving kids to school, cooking meals, helping with homework, crafting, and overall general household chores around the house. I love animals so I am happy to work with families that have pets!
Hello! I am Maya! I am currently a sophomore at NEIU (Northeastern Illinois University). Currently I am offering child and animal care. I work at the Child Care Center at my college !

"We were incredibly grateful that Maya was able to help us out with a last-minute childcare emergency. She matched our 9-year-old's energy with arts & crafts, some quiet reading, and a walk around the neighborhood. We'd have Maya back in a heartbeat!"
