Hi families! ☀️ I’m Edna, an experienced nanny/babysitter with a background in early childhood development (Malcolm X College) and several years working with infants, toddlers, and preschoolers. I love keeping kids engaged with outdoor play, crafts, reading, and fun hands-on activities. I’m reliable, patient, and comfortable driving kids to activities, helping with routines, and supporting busy families however I can. If you’re looking for summer support or part-time care, I’d love to connect!
“Edna has been serving as our two-year-old daughter's regular part-time nanny for the past six months or so, and she's been an absolute joy. She is not only teaching my kiddo Spanish, but she keeps her engaged in arts and crafts activities and works with her on good habits like picking up her toys. She is very sensitive and in tune with our daughter's emotions, and every morning my daughter races to the door in excitement to see her. She is a true natural with children, and she is responsive and communicative with my husband and me.”

I enjoy working with kids, not only taking good care of them but also expending quality time with time. I like to include activities and games that not only entertain the little ones but also help with their cognitive and motor stimulation. I have experience with toddlers and also can take care of younger babies. I can provide help with house duties.

Growing up my grandma owned a daycare and I would help her take care of kids and plan arts and crafts time for them. I also have recent experience over the past 2 summers of working at a stay away camp looking over multiple different age groups of kids over the age of 6 full time. After my first summer I was promoted to leader of my cabin group and have learned to keep things together, better my communication, and still keep kids happy! Pets wise, I have 3 cats and a dog so I know how to manage!

Hi! My name is Yazzy and I’m currently a regent graduate from Columbia College Chicago. I am offering childcare services & pet services. I love being a babysitter and I’ve worked as a nursery worker until recently so I have several experiences with newborns, infants, and toddlers since I was 15 years old. My responsibilities have included crafts, tutoring, and meal prep. I also work as a photography assistant and can take your family portraits! I have four dogs of my own and I’m very comfortable around all pets & will treat your fur-babies as one of my own.

I also worked as a rehab tech at Shirley Ryan AbilityLab Pediatric Outpatient clinic in Glenview, IL from May 2024-July 2025. I have a passion for helping and caring for people in any capacity.
