I have had the privilege of working as a dedicated nanny, providing exceptional care and support to children from various backgrounds. It has been incredibly rewarding to witness their growth and development, and I take pride in creating a nurturing and stimulating environment for them. For three years, I had the wonderful opportunity to work as a toddler teacher at La Petite. This experience allowed me to contribute to the early education of young children and shape their journey in discovering the world around them. I gained valuable insights into child development, honed my classroom management skills, and developed engaging activities that helped foster their curiosity and imagination. During my two years as a tutor, I had the pleasure of assisting students in their academic journeys. By offering personalized instruction and guidance, I was able to help them overcome challenges and reach their full potential. Adapting my teaching methods to cater to their individual learning styles was crucial in ensuring their success, and witnessing their progress was incredibly fulfilling. As a substitute teacher, I had the opportunity to step into various classrooms and adapt quickly to new environments. This role allowed me to gain versatility and resilience, managing different classroom dynamics and delivering lessons across various subjects. It was a dynamic and fast-paced experience that further sharpened my skills as an educator. Most recently, I spent two years as a kindergarten teacher, a role that brought me immense joy and fulfillment. Guiding young children through their first experiences in formal education was a privilege. I designed engaging lesson plans, fostered a positive and inclusive learning environment, and helped my students develop academically, socially, and emotionally. Witnessing their growth and enthusiasm for learning was truly gratifying. Collectively, my seven years as a nanny, three years as a toddler teacher at La Petite, two years as a tutor, substitute teacher, and kindergarten teacher have shaped me into a passionate and versatile educator. My commitment to the well-being and development of children, along with my ability to create engaging and enriching experiences, make me confident in my skills and excited for future opportunities in the field.
I am a reliable and caring caregiver with experience working with infants, toddlers, and school-aged children. I currently work in education, which has given me strong skills in supervision, patience, behavior support, and creating engaging activities. I have experience caring for multiple children at once, preparing meals and snacks, maintaining routines, and ensuring a safe and structured environment. I am calm, attentive, and genuinely enjoy helping children learn and have fun. I prioritize safety, communication with parents, and creating a positive experience for every family I work with.
I’m a certified newborn care specialist with a calm, steady presence and a real understanding of how tender and overwhelming those early days can feel. I’m also CPR certified, which gives families an added layer of reassurance at night. I’ve spent time supporting infants in the NICU and caring for children with special needs and medical conditions, and that experience really shapes how I care for families. I’m patient, attentive, and very in tune with both baby and parent needs. In addition to newborn care, I also provide in-home pet sitting, senior companion care, and household support. My work across these roles has strengthened my ability to be adaptable, detail-oriented, and deeply attentive to the unique needs of each home I step into. Whether I’m caring for a newborn, supporting a senior, or looking after beloved pets, my approach is always rooted in reliability, compassion, and creating a sense of calm and trust. For families with pets, I offer overnight in-home care so animals can stay comfortable in their routine, along with daily updates for peace of mind. For seniors, I focus on companionship and light assistance, helping with daily routines, meals, and creating a safe, supportive environment. I also provide light household help and errand support to keep everything running smoothly. When I’m in your home, my goal is simple: to create a space where everything feels safe, cared for, and supported. Whether that means helping your baby stay settled so you can rest, making sure your pets feel secure while you’re away, or being a calm and reliable presence for a loved one, I show up fully for each role. Families often tell me they’re able to truly exhale knowing someone experienced and genuinely caring is there. I’m reliable, gentle, easy to communicate with, and I care deeply about creating a calm, supported space for your whole home no matter what services you acquire!
Hello, my name is Jackie, 28 years old. I am currently a graduate student at The Chicago School of Professional Psychology-Online Campus, studying Clinical Mental Health Counseling. I graduated from Purdue University in 2018, with a degree in Psychology and a minor in Human Development and Family Sciences. I have over four years of experience as a nanny, and 1 year of experience as a pre-school teacher. I have worked with children between the ages of 3-16 years old. I simply love children and enjoy helping them learn and grow at every stage of their young lives. My strengths as a nanny are that I am very responsible, reliable, caring, and energetic!
I was recently thinking of a way to assist parents (single parents), as a mom whose had both married and single years. Then, I came across UrbanSitters. I have four children, who are now all adults. For sure, there were those who assisted me during the single years with my children, when they were little, and I would like to do the same for other parents in return. Sometimes parents need a little assistance with running errands, pick-ups, of just have a sitter sit some hours so parents can take a breather and free up more time for family time. I have an associates degree in medical administration and finishing up a bachelor degree in criminal justice. I have worked in the business, medical and judicial settings, pretty much since graduating high school. Children are precious gifts and are naturally funny at times, looking to explore their new world safely. I loved taking care of my own children, as well as relatives and friends children. I love reading, music, movies, and the outdoors. My availability is pretty flexible but it changes.
