Hello there! I'm Camila, a 27 year-old passionate about childcare and babysitting. With over 6 years of experience working with babies and toddlers here in America, I've developed a deep love for spending time with little ones and nurturing their development. In addition to childcare, I'm also happy to lend a hand with cooking, cleaning, or any other household chores that need to be taken care of. Being pet-friendly, I'm comfortable around dogs and cats. If you're in need of a responsible and caring childcare provider who will treat your little ones—and furry friends—with love and attention, I'd love to chat further. Let's create a safe and happy environment for your family together! Looking forward to hearing from you soon! Best, Camila

I am from the west side of Chicago and I have been taking care of children since I was a young teenager. I have worked with a company for a little over 2 years, working with kids who attend school. I can help with chores around the household, homework, or any other tasks that will create a comfortable space. I own a dog and know why or how a task involving a dog will be handled. If I have questions I communicate well with the guardians and able to figure out the situation.

“Very good and patient ”

Hi all! My name is Maggie, I was born and raised in Louisville. I just moved to Chicago from London, England where I studied to get my Master’s degree in Education Policy. Prior, I received my BA from Tulane University in New Orleans. I have worked for 3 years full time in Special Education at various age levels! I love the wonder that kids bring to the world and love creating exciting experiences for them! I love being able to be creative as a babysitter and come up with fun activities to do. I am happy to play, bake, do arts & crafts, etc. I do have reliable transportation, a clean driving record, and available references. I am infant and child CPR/first aid certified as well as COVID vaccinated. I am completely comfortable with pets! I have vast experiences with children ages newborn-13yrs. I was first certified as a babysitter at 12 and have been working with kids ever since! I was a babysitter/nanny all throughout middle and high school, coached kids sports as a teenager, and spent the past year working in an elementary school environment! I spent 2 years working at a nonprofit that focused on arts education for ages 4-13 in New Orleans during college before spending 2 years in K-12 Special Education. I now work full time at a community college running their Special Education Transition program. My availability predominantly consists of evenings and the weekends, with specific dates typically reflected in my calendar. Please always feel free to reach out with any questions!

Sheila 2 reviews

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.”
