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.

Booked by 1 family in Mundelein, IL

Hi, I'm Brooklyn! I am a junior at the University of Kentucky studying Clinical Leadership and Management, and I am back in the Chicago suburbs for the summer. Those who know me would describe me as responsible, friendly, and hard working. I love working with kids because I enjoy watching them learn and grow, and providing a nurturing space for them to do so. I am fulfilled by helping others, and when I see that a child is happy, it makes me happy. I am also an animal lover and am more than willing to help out with your furry friends! I'm looking for a job that offers flexible hours and a comfortable environment. In addition to caring for children and pets, I am also willing to help with minor household duties and provide transportation. I have had experience with children of all ages since I was about 13, but growing up as an older sister, I have had the opportunity to care for children nearly my whole life and find it incredibly rewarding. I look forward to helping your family in any way that I can!

“Brooklyn is great with our daughter. We’ve loved having her watch our daughter. She is warm, dependable, and completely engaged—our daughter looks forward to every visit. Brooklyn is great with routines, playtime, and communication, and we always feel at ease knowing she’s in good hands. Highly recommend!”

Amy Jane $20 per hour for 1 child

Hi there, I'm Amy! I am a licensed educator and lover of the outdoors. I'm licensed to teach English Language Arts grades 5-12, but have spent the last school year subbing in classrooms ranging from Pre-K-12th grade. I've nannied and babysat for families in the past with kids of all ages and abilities. My duties as a nanny included transportation to and from school and appointments, snack and meal prep, light house cleaning, arts and crafts, fun outings, dog and cat care, homework help, and nighttime routines. Working in schools every day means learning all kinds of ways to get kids thinking and engaged in meaningful ways. I have lots of patience when it comes to skill-building and activities with kids, and enjoy designing activities, playing games, and getting outdoors. During college I worked for two years in a senior living community with seniors ranging in age (55-100+) and varying ability levels. My duties ranged from nutrition and meal monitoring to caretaking and quality time. I also have 5+ years experience house sitting. I've taken care of landscaping, cleaning, and mail/package pick-up as well as pet and plant care.

Booked by 1 family in Mundelein, IL

With over a decade of professional experience in child care; lifeguard, swim instructor, children's birthday entertainer, substitute teacher, and daycare worker/pre-k teacher, I have just about every child imaginable. I've also been babysitting since I was 12, for my parents, cousins, friends, and the occasional co-worker who needed a night off. I've seen all ages, 6m-17y. I like to think I connect with children so well because I truly am just a big kid at heart. But I also know when play time is over and to be firm, but fair. I have training in basic first aid, CPR, basic diabetic care, certified in anaphylactic safety, certified in allergy safety, certified in food handling and safety.

“Hailey is great! She checked in beforehand for any specific directions and showed up at our home a little early, ready to engage with the kids. She is kind and personable, the kids really enjoyed her being here, and we will see her again! ”

"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!"
