Booked by 7 families in Olympia Fields, IL

Hi I’m Jordan! I double majored at Purdue in psychology and law & society and graduated in 2024. I moved to Chicago for law school and I just finished up my first year. I have been providing childcare since I was about 16 years old and I’m first aid & cpr certified. I worked at a local daycare in my hometown for a summer. I was also a nanny my senior year and continued to nanny for that family until I left for college. While at Purdue, I worked at a daycare. I was a floater, so I worked in the infant room, multiage room, 2s room, and pre-k so I am comfortable with all ages! I am also comfortable with pets!

Jordan is wonderful! She is kind, professional and timely. She was great with our 1.5 year old, and we highly recommend her!

Hi, my name is Emily and I’m 20 I babysit alongside my serving job. And I take great pride in providing amazing childcare. I am the oldest of four kids. My mom actually decided to add the 4th one back in 2023 so I’ve been able to walk alongside her in the newborn/toddler age:) I love children and being intentional with our time such as doing crafts, going for walks/the park when the weather is nice or making learning fun. Naturally as an older sister, I have experience cooking, tiding up, helping with homework and driving kids to and from sports/school. I’ve also worked children’s ministries at church and provided childcare since I was 12 this ranged from nursery age to middle school age. minimal dog task can definitely be done as well!!
