Hello !! My name is Norma , I also speak Spanish ,I’m offering child care , señor care and household services . I have experience since I use to take care of my grand kids.
Hi there, if you are looking for a date night, occasional, or part-time babysitter/nanny this year, I am here to help! My name is Lauren LaJeunesse, and I am a special education teacher within the Chicago Public Schools. I have taught for 15 years and have extensive babysitting/nannying experience. I have my own car and can support with tutoring, homework help, and work with all ages! Hope to work with your family soon!
I am an early childhood educator with over a decade of experience in babysitting, nannying, childcare, and teaching! My teaching experience includes special education, Reggio-Emilia and play-based early childhood, reading intervention, and nature education. I have also worked in children's theatre and love imaginative, creative play! I have robust experience in creating learning provocations, sensory play, process-based art projects, and following children's interest to build an emergent curriculum. As a babysitter, I love engaging children in imaginative and pretend play, cooking with children, art projects, staying active, and building strong relationships with families! I have a Master's degree from Vanderbilt University in Child Studies and Development, in addition to being a licensed teacher in elementary and special education. My approach is informed by theories of child development and deep respect for children's agency, capabilities, and independence. I am currently teaching full time but am available for weeknight and weekend babysitting!
Hi there! My name is Jessica and I am a high school teacher within Chicago Public Schools. I majored in history education and went on to earn my Master's in Instructional Design, along with an additional certification in special education. I have a wealth of experience working with young people in many capacities, including teaching, tutoring, babysitting, nannying, and coaching varsity volleyball. I am truly passionate about helping children and teens learn, grow, and have fun! Because of my background, I am highly skilled in helping kids manage their behavior and emotions in a positive way that includes them in the process. A little more about me: I am originally from Ohio and have been living and teaching here in Chicago for the past seven years. When I'm not in the classroom or babysitting, my hobbies include hiking, rock climbing, reading, and spending quality time with my dog, Peanut! I look forward to meeting your family!
Hi! I have worked with children of all ages for over 10 years. My mother established her career in early childhood in the 90's and has successfully stayed in business for over 20 years. I have worked in the early childhood field since 2016. I have also worked in the legal field supporting lawyers who specialize in the safety and upbringing of children (GAL). I have cared for all age groups. I am also a university graduate. I teach and lead with love, and because of it, I still have beautiful relationships with all of the children who have been in my care, many now teenagers andyoung adults! My experience as a child care provider has included caring for children at hotels while their parents went out for a night on the town (and bringing something fun to help the transition be easier for parents and their children). I love kids because they are JUST awesome! Also, I am always up for negotiating when it comes to cost of childcare.

"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!"
