Family has always been incredibly important to me. I am one of seven children and therefore grew up in a household managing a lot of different ages, experiences, and emotions. I have nannied and babysat consistently since I was 18. My experience has solidified my desire to continue to help families. Additionally, I have my bachelors degree from Marquette University in accounting and finance. I also am a CPA. I currently work as an auditor at Deloitte. I am comfortable caring for up to four children. I am patient, creative, and friendly, and I enjoy playing outdoor sports, board games, and educational games. I am comfortable enforcing household rules and always follow parents' preferred communication methods regarding their child's day. I am also CPR and First Aid certified. I have a car and am comfortable with pets. More than anything, I look forward to creating a fun and enriching environment for your children.
Hi!! My name is Emma. I currently work as a Clinical Trial Data Specialist Sunday-Thursday 9-5. I love kids and was a nanny for 3 little girls for over 2 years. I started when the youngest was 4 months old. During that time I was also an EMT. I started babysitting when I was 14 years old. My responsibilities have included driving kids to school, cooking meals, helping with homework, crafting, and overall general household chores around the house. I love animals so I am happy to work with families that have pets!
Compassionate and dependable caregiver, specializing in creative and recreational caregiving, with experience supporting children, adults with disabilities, and elders. A graduate of the School of the Art Institute of Chicago, I bring a creative approach to caregiving, incorporating activities that engage, stimulate, and inspire those I support. I bring experience working in a preschool with children aged 2-4 years old. I also have experience in bilingual classrooms with children aged 3–10, supporting learning, engagement, and individualized attention to meet students’ diverse needs. These experiences have strengthened my patience, adaptability, and communication skills, allowing me to connect with individuals of all ages and abilities. Additionally, in my part-time role at Renewal Memory, I provide companionship and meaningful engagement for adults with Alzheimer’s, assisting with daily routines and creating a supportive, positive environment. I am also a volunteer at Arts of Life, where I help support professional artists with disabilities by offering guidance, assistance, and encouragement in their daily work. I also have hands-on experience in household management and organization, maintaining structured environments, managing schedules, and supporting daily tasks to keep routines running smoothly. My combination of caregiving expertise, creative approach, and organizational skills allows me to provide meaningful, engaging, and well-rounded care for those I support.
Hi! My name is Hana and I recently moved to the Lincoln Park area for my job as a data analyst downtown, post my graduation from UW-Madison in May 2024. I am looking for some occasional or part time babysitting gigs, as I absolutely love working with and spending time with children and would like to spend more of my free time doing so. I have experience babysitting infants all the way up to 15 year olds, and have been babysitting since my freshman year of high school (about 9 years). I also have my CPR certification and my own car here! Please reach out with any other questions!
With over 10 years experience nurturing kids from newborns to teens, I am confident in my ability to provide exceptional support to both your children and your family. I bring fun, creativity, and a sprinkle of imagination to every babysitting gig while ensuring parents feel secure knowing their little ones are in caring hands. With a Master's in Social Work and a career dedicated to empowering seniors, I am equipped me with exceptional communication skills, allowing me to connect with children on their level while fostering a safe and engaging environment. Whether it's organizing fun activities or providing emotional support during difficult moments, I thrive on creating positive experiences for every child in my care. I am eager to broaden my day-to-day experiences by returning to my roots of working with kids. Being active and engaged is essential when caring for children. Whether it's organizing outdoor games or crafting creative projects indoors, I always strive to keep kids entertained while nurturing their creativity. My strong communication skills allow me to build trusting relationships with both children and parents alike, ensuring open lines of dialogue about any concerns or updates. I pride myself on being punctual and responsible. My patience and creativity allow me to tackle challenges with a positive attitude. I have experience with caring for up to 8 kids at once. I thrive in busy settings where I can make a positive impact on young lives. I have successfully managed bedtime routines, meal preparation, homework assistance, responding to atypical physical and intellectual abilities, transporting to and from activities, and while maintaining a fun and active atmosphere. My ability to communicate effectively with both children and parents has always been a cornerstone of my approach—fostering trust and ensuring everyone feels heard. I would love the opportunity to discuss how my background aligns with your family's needs and how I can contribute positively as your babysitter.
