Trusted, Caring & Dependable Childcare for Children of All Ages. Finding someone you can truly trust with your children is important. I provide attentive, nurturing care for children of all ages, with a strong focus on their safety, comfort, and individual needs. I currently babysit occasionally and have years of hands-on experience caring for children. As a mother of two adult daughters, I understand the importance of patience, consistency, and creating a positive environment where children feel comfortable and cared for. I’m respectful of each family’s routines and parenting preferences. I also have excellent references, reliable transportation, and flexible availability with advance notice. My goal is simple: to give parents peace of mind while their children are in my care. I’d be happy to connect and learn more about your childcare needs.

“Diaw is great, very helpful taking care of infants and toddlers!”

Hello! I'm Rachael :) I'm a teacher so I'm available evenings/days off school! Also looking for a summer 2026 nanny job! About my childcare background: I have a degree in education and I currently work in a school reading and math intervention. I've previously worked as a nanny for several years and I have lots of experience with childcare. About me: In addition to my teaching job, I also work as a tour guide. When I'm not working, I have several hobbies such as classical music (I'm a violinist), sewing, and cooking. I love animals too! Please let me know if there is any illness in the home before I arrive. I work several jobs and even a slight illness can significantly affect my ability to make a living. An illness isn't an automatic "no" but I need to be able to assess the situation before I am exposed. Of course, I will extend the same courtesy to you and your family and will always be up front about any symptoms I may be experiencing as well. The safety of your children/family/pets is a top priority for me. Got my latest covid/flu shots September 2025! Tdap vaccine January 2025 No allergies

Hello! I’m an outgoing childcare expert who taught global policy to middle school and high school students for six years. In this role, I received ongoing training in childhood education and development. Currently I am working on writing and publishing a memoir. I’m a graduate of Northwestern University, where I majored in Economics and Political Science, and last year I completed my masters in Political Sociology at the London School of Economics and Political Science. I come from a large family, and I enjoy working with children. My childcare experience includes infants through high school age. I have also tutored extensively on many levels, including grade school math, high school English, and college economics. For fun I like to cook and play Ultimate Frisbee. Thank you for your consideration, and I hope to meet some of you soon. :)

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!
