Sheila 2 reviews
$25 per hour for 1 child

My name is Sheila, and I have over 10 years of experience providing childcare in both daycare and private nanny settings. I am a dependable, nurturing, and responsible childcare professional who is passionate about supporting children’s safety, well-being, and development. I have experience caring for children, planning age-appropriate educational activities, and creating engaging learning environments. I enjoy organizing arts and crafts, educational games, and recreational outings, including visits to zoos, museums, and libraries. In addition to providing attentive childcare, I am willing to assist with child-related household responsibilities, including children’s laundry, organizing play areas, tidying children’s bedrooms, and helping with kitchen cleanup as needed. I am also comfortable working in households with cats and dogs. I have my own reliable transportation and report holding CPR and First Aid certifications. I can provide references upon request. My goal is to provide families with dependable, compassionate, and high-quality childcare while creating a safe, positive, and enriching environment for every child in my care.

“I am writing this letter to wholeheartedly recommend Sheila Williams for a position as a nanny. Sheila has taken care of both our sons over the last 5 years — our first from 2022–2023 and our second from 2025–2026. She has become a cherished member of our family and a real friend. We could not have asked for a better person to help us raise happy, healthy, and engaged children. Sheila has been nothing short of exceptional in her role as a nanny. One of the most remarkable qualities about Sheila is her level of engagement. She is present at all times, making sure to provide a nurturing, safe, and stimulating environment. She has an innate sense for what they need, whether it's comfort, entertainment, or learning opportunities, and responds accordingly. She consistently plans a variety of activities that keep them active and engaged. She is particularly creative when it comes to arts and crafts, often working on projects that are both fun and educational. They also attend weekly story times at several libraries in the area. Beyond indoor activities, Sheila makes it a point to spend as much time as possible outdoors, whether it be going for walks or playing in the park. She also regularly organizes playdates with other children in our neighborhood, and loves to plan outings to the zoo and children's museum. What makes Sheila stand out is her warmth and love toward our sons. She treats them as if they were her own, and adapts her style to each of their unique temperaments. As a mother herself, it's clear that her maternal instincts extend into her professional life, and we couldn't be more grateful for that. In summary, Sheila is an extraordinary nanny who combines practical skills with genuine love and warmth. We trust her implicitly and can't recommend her enough to any family seeking an individual who will treat their child as her own. Please feel free to contact me for any more information or clarification. I am confident that Sheila will continue to excel in her career as a nanny and enrich the lives of another family just as she has ours.”

Hi! I'm Nya, I’m a sophomore in college. My passion for nurturing young minds led me to offer professional babysitting services. With regard to age groups, I have extensive experience with various developmental stages, ranging from early childhood to pre-adolescence. Whether it's fostering creativity with toddlers, or navigating the energetic world of elementary schoolers, I adapt my approach to suit each child's unique needs. When it comes to activities, I love sparking imagination through storytelling, crafting, and outdoor and indoor adventures. Additionally, my background in tutoring equips me to provide homework assistance and academic support.

Jasmyne 4 reviews
$25 per hour for 1 child

Hi Family, I’m Jasmyne a Chicago native and the proud second-oldest of six siblings — so you could say childcare has always been a big part of my life! I also have two adorable nephews I help care for regularly, which keeps my hands (and heart) full. In addition to years of hands-on family experience, I’ve also worked at a daycare, where I cared for children of different ages and helped plan fun, educational activities. On Sundays, I teach kids’ Bible studies at my church, which has deepened my patience, creativity, and love for helping children learn and grow. I’m married to my high school sweetheart, and we share a strong sense of family and community. I bring that same dependable, loving energy to every family I work with. Whether it’s playing outside, helping with homework, or creating crafts, I strive to make every child feel safe, valued, and happy. I’d love to meet you and your little ones!

“Jasmyne and I used to be coworkers and next-door neighbors. She watched my son from time to time, and he absolutely loved having her as a babysitter. He always said she was fun—and she never forgot the snacks! I would confidently recommend Jasmyne to anyone in need of a babysitter; she truly cares for children as if they were her own.”
