Hi parents! My name is Donna. I have a lot of experience, taking care of newborns to school age children. I love to do hands-on activities with them. Imaginary play, and arts and crafts. I’m a honest, loving, caring, nurturing, energetic, flexible and a fun person. I truly love being a nanny. I have Early Child Development that I took. I am CPR certified. I can help out with light house duties. I have a lot of experience with meal prep and bed time routines. I always clean up before I go home. I have taken care of multiple children in the past and I still watch them from time to time. I have steller reviews. I can't wait to hear from all the parents. 😊 Thank you for your time!

Donna was a nanny for my two grandchildren for two years. One was a newborn and the other was a toddler. My daughter does not do social media so she asked I write this for her. Donna is a very attentive, hands on, loving and caring nanny. She is wonderful at helping children reach milestones and is a pro at recommending what toys develop motor hand -eye coordination, She loved taking the children to the park and going on walks with the stroller and playtime always included a motor or cognitive development lesson. As well as reading to them. My grandkids loved her. She is also an amazing cook and baker and made nutritious and delicious meals for the kids. I think she would be a wonderful asset to any parent in helping their child develop and the parent can work and have peace of mind that their child is in good hands,

Hi! I am a college student majoring in Accounting at the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign.

Hi there! My name is Emily and I am currently a student at Northeastern Illinois University! I am an undergrad student specializing in social work while working as a part-time sitter/house manager. I love children and have always found my way into many children’s hearts. I have previous baby sitting experience as well as years experience working with the Chicago Park District as recreational leader for their play camp program that gave me the opportunity to work alongside 20 amazing children from the ages of 4-5 in the community. Being a camper myself when I was younger I learned the importance of having the people around children teaching them values and Influencing them in the right ways. I am a very creative person in my free time and always like to have a good time! Arts and crafts are a speciality of mine! Plus knowing about the latest toys for the kiddos!
