Hi Parents! I’m Sarah, a recent graduate from DePaul University. I have over 10 years of experience in Nannying and babysitting for children between the ages of 1 and 12. As a nanny, I prioritize the safety, creativity and education. I love coming up with new game concepts to play and introduce educational topics. Whether it's engaging in imaginative play, organizing educational activities, or assisting with homework, I strive to make each day meaningful and enjoyable for the children under my care. Some of my favorite activities to do are adventure walks, DIY days, baking and talent discovery! Most importantly, I am passionate about making a positive impact on the lives of children and helping them reach their full potential. I look forward to the opportunity to become a valued member of your family and to contribute to the happiness and well-being of your children. Please let me know if you have any questions about my work history or me. Thank you for your consideration, and stay safe. Best, Sarah

“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!”
Hi, I am Lilly. I attended Saint Louis University for Nursing school and graduated in 2022. I work at Rush University Hospital as a medical-surgical nurse. Throughout high school and college, I worked at Kumon. Kumon is a tutoring center for toddlers-high schoolers for math and reading. Also, I babysat newborns to middle schoolers for church. I love babysitting because children was full of life and positivity. Caregiving is loving and warm. A fun fact about me is my spiritual animal is a Beluga whale.
I am a fun, flexible 26 year old who loves kids! I have babysat boys and girls ages 2 and up since I was 12 and have always really enjoyed it. I have a car so am available for transporting kids to school, camps, etc.

"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!"
