Booked by 1 family in Morton Grove, IL

Hi! I'm Nya, I’m a sophomore in college. My passion for nurturing young minds led me to offer professional babysitting services. With regard to age groups, I have extensive experience with various developmental stages, ranging from early childhood to pre-adolescence. Whether it's fostering creativity with toddlers, or navigating the energetic world of elementary schoolers, I adapt my approach to suit each child's unique needs. When it comes to activities, I love sparking imagination through storytelling, crafting, and outdoor and indoor adventures. Additionally, my background in tutoring equips me to provide homework assistance and academic support.

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!

Booked by 3 families in Morton Grove, IL

Hi families! ☀️ I’m Edna, an experienced nanny/babysitter with a background in early childhood development (Malcolm X College) and several years working with infants, toddlers, and preschoolers. I love keeping kids engaged with outdoor play, crafts, reading, and fun hands-on activities. I’m reliable, patient, and comfortable driving kids to activities, helping with routines, and supporting busy families however I can. If you’re looking for summer support or part-time care, I’d love to connect!

“Edna has been serving as our two-year-old daughter's regular part-time nanny for the past six months or so, and she's been an absolute joy. She is not only teaching my kiddo Spanish, but she keeps her engaged in arts and crafts activities and works with her on good habits like picking up her toys. She is very sensitive and in tune with our daughter's emotions, and every morning my daughter races to the door in excitement to see her. She is a true natural with children, and she is responsive and communicative with my husband and me.”

I enjoy working with kids, not only taking good care of them but also expending quality time with time. I like to include activities and games that not only entertain the little ones but also help with their cognitive and motor stimulation. I have experience with toddlers and also can take care of younger babies. I can provide help with house duties.
