Hello! My name is Joanna ! I am 28 years old with a bachelors degree in Early Childhood Education.

Leilani $20 per hour for 1 child

Each child is a unique gift, and as a doula and aspiring youth pastor, I feel called to support them in their growth and development. I'm looking for babysitting and nannying opportunities where I can provide nurturing, reliable care while creating a safe space for children to learn, play, and thrive. I have experience working with children ages 2 months to 12 years old and love engaging kids through creative activities, homework help, outdoor play, and more. I'm available for both regular care and occasional sitting and bring patience, enthusiasm, and a genuine commitment to supporting both children and their families.

Michelle $18 per hour for 1 child

Hi! I’m Michelle, a responsible and dependable college student who enjoys working with children. My childcare experience comes from helping care for my younger brother and babysitting for family friends, where I’ve learned the importance of creating a safe, fun, and supportive environment. I graduated as my high school’s valedictorian and am happy to help with homework and learning activities. I’m also involved with Northwestern University’s Supplies for Dreams, an organization that supports Chicago Public Schools through school supply drives, field trips, and one-on-one student mentorship. Whether it’s playing games, reading stories, or sticking to your family’s routine, I’ll make sure your children are well cared for and engaged.

Karen $22 per hour for 1 child

Hi – My name is Karen, and I’m currently on a gap year from the University of Michigan. I’m using this time to work and save up before returning to finish my degree. I love working with kids and making sure they feel safe, happy, and cared for. I’ve helped my aunt with her nanny job and also worked at a home daycare, caring for children of different ages. I’ve also cared for my nieces, so I’m used to keeping things fun, patient, and organized. I can cook, help with light cleaning, and assist with household tasks. I don’t drive, but I’m reliable, always on time, and prefer families nearby or accessible by public transit. I’m also comfortable working with dogs and enjoy creating a warm, positive environment for families.
