Mia $18 per hour for 1 child

Hi, my name is Mia and I’m currently a freshman at Dominican University. I am offering child and pet care. I currently have no experience working with children but want to change that, as I hope to become a child psychologist in the future. I am willing to offer homework help and cleaning services around the house. I am a pet owner of 4 dogs myself, all different breeds, and offer dog sitting, walks, and regular play. I am more comfortable with small to medium dogs but am willing to care for larger dogs as well.

$25 per hour for 1 child
Booked by 6 families in Brookfield, IL

Hi there! I’m Elena — a caring, dependable, and bilingual (English & Spanish) nanny with over 10 years of experience working with children of all ages, from infants to teens. I hold a Bachelor’s degree in Psychology with a minor in Hispanic Studies, along with a Master’s in Business Administration. My passion for childcare started early — I have 17 nieces and nephews (yes, 17!), and I’ve been helping care for them since I was young. Since then, I’ve worked with many families, creating safe, fun, and nurturing environments where kids can grow, learn, and just be themselves. I’m fully up to date on vaccines and always prioritize safety and open communication. Whether you need help with homework, meal prep, bedtime routines, or fun educational activities, I’m here to support your family however I can. Looking forward to meeting you and your little ones!

“She was very caring and very helpful! Definitely recommend her 100%! Me and my son love her. Amazing help. Thank you so much!”

Si'edah $25 per hour for 1 child

Hello! My name is Si’edah. I came across your profile and wanted to introduce myself because I believe my background and experience align well with what you’re looking for. I am a Registered Nurse with a strong foundation in compassionate, person-centered care. Prior to nursing, I worked closely with adults with disabilities and individuals on the autism spectrum, supporting them through daily living activities, arts and crafts, creative projects, and engaging routines. I truly enjoy cooking and can follow new recipes with ease. I also love incorporating movement, gentle exercise, and meaningful activities into the day to keep things positive and engaging. I am nurturing, patient, and attentive, and I always strive to create a safe, comfortable, and encouraging environment for the people I work with. I have reliable transportation, I do not smoke, and I approach every role with professionalism and kindness. I would love the opportunity to connect and see if I may be a good fit for your needs.

Karen $22 per hour for 1 child

Hi – My name is Karen, and I’m currently on a gap year from the University of Michigan. I’m using this time to work and save up before returning to finish my degree. I love working with kids and making sure they feel safe, happy, and cared for. I’ve helped my aunt with her nanny job and also worked at a home daycare, caring for children of different ages. I’ve also cared for my nieces, so I’m used to keeping things fun, patient, and organized. I can cook, help with light cleaning, and assist with household tasks. I don’t drive, but I’m reliable, always on time, and prefer families nearby or accessible by public transit. I’m also comfortable working with dogs and enjoy creating a warm, positive environment for families.

Katherine $25 per hour for 1 child

I am a responsible and caring nanny. Spanish is my native language, and I understand English very well. I am currently improving my English speaking skills to become more fluent. I am patient, reliable, and committed to my work. I enjoy planning fun and educational activities for children, including creative and hands-on play, not only technology-based activities. I also love pets and feel comfortable in homes with animals. I like to follow parents instructions and routines carefully, while also being proactive and suggesting positive ideas and activities for the kids. I enjoy seeing them learning, grow and the capacity to discover new things. I like to support their creativity providing a safe, caring and positive environment, where they can feel happy, confident and comfortable. One thing families should know about me is that I am respectful and I can be serious when needed, but I am also very sweet, caring, and enjoy connecting with children.

"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!"
