Hello my name is Shannon or Shan. During the school year I am a program manager for before and after school programs at a CPS grade school. I work with all ages from Pre K to seventh grade in the program. I have many years experience babysitting for infants and toddlers. My schedule is currently very open for the summer so I have a lot of flexibility. I love all animals, I myself have two cats, and also have several years experience pet sitting, mainly dogs and cats.
Greetings! I am First Aid and CPR Certified, and 37 years old. I have raised and trained two dogs, cared for seniors experiencing dementia and have 20 years experience caring for children of all ages. My strategy with kids (and seniors) is to slow down, answer all questions and give them options. As big sister to three boys, my entire childhood and young adulthood involved caring for kids. Once I left home, I became a certified post-partum doula, then went on to nanny full time. I became more curious about teaching kids, so became a theater teacher for kids ages 3-11 for 6 years. I am looking to build some caretaking relationships for children, pets and seniors.
“Emily is an empathetic, creative, and compassionate caregiver. I feel completely at peace when she spends time with my son, because I know that her attention is on him fully, and she is so playful and engaging. Her patience is enviable and it is obvious she has spent much of her life around little ones- keeping them safe and encouraging play. I know this, because I have had the joy of watching them interact, and I see how focused she is on him and very tuned into how he likes to interact with the world; but also because my son begs to spend time with her. I would be delighted to speak with anyone who is considering hiring her.”
Hi there! My name is Emily and I am originally from the Quad Cities but have been living in Chicago for the past 2.5 years after graduating from the University of Kansas. I have experience babysitting and part-time nannying children of all ages. During prior jobs I loved coming up with creative activities, going on neighborhood walks, and playing games in the park. I am also comfortable taking care of animals. I grew up with a dog and I have a cat of my own. In my free time I enjoy sailing on Lake Michigan, reading anything from thrillers to memoirs, and painting what ever is inspiring to me in the moment.
Hi, my names Ruby, I used to babysit a lot in high school before I moved and thought it was so fun! I mostly worked with two kids aged 2 and 4, and babysat them for almost a year. I’m a first year college student so babysitting is a great way for me to make money while still having time to focus on school work. I’m also an artist although I’m still working towards making a living off that. But if your kids enjoy to draw I’ll probably end up teaching them a thing or two too!
Hi, I’m May! I recently moved to Chicago and love working with kids and helping families feel supported. I enjoy creating a safe, fun environment where children feel understood, engaged, and cared for. I have several years of childcare experience from working in preschools to after-school daycares. I am CPR and First Aid certified and confident in handling busy routines, energetic children, and crafts!!
