"Amina came and helped us out when our babysitter canceled last minute. She was great with our kids. Even our 11 month old son who has stranger anxiety warmed up to her."

Hi! My name is Amanda and I am looking for fun, sweet, loving families to babysit on the weekends! I am currently a full time nanny but looking to pick up extra hours on the weekend :) I have my degree in early childhood education as well as many years providing care for children ages 2 months to 12 years! My passion is and will always be caring for children and I cannot wait to have my own children to love on some day! I can’t wait to connect and to tell you more about me as well as learn about you and your family!!
“Amanda did an amazing job. She was in charge of our little one at our wedding. She made sure our daughter was fed, clean and having a great time. Our daughter was able to keep her routine on this day all because of Amanda. Our daughter had an instant connection with her and it really showed. I could not have booked a better nanny for our special day. All night everyone kept coming up to me letting me know how great Amanda was. We cannot thank her enough for her patience and professionalism.”

$25 per hour for 1 child
Booked by 3 families in New Lenox, IL
Hi, I'm Marci! I bring nurture, patience, reliability, and a fun-loving demeanor. I enjoy going for walks, organizational projects, spending time with family, and exploring the city. I welcome collaboration, open communication, and friendly demeanors of all. I nanny part-time during the day. I help foster environments and routines for children and families. My favorite part of the job is building connections with the children. I've cared for children from infant to preteen, however my care of focus has centered around children age 2 and younger. My experience is in elementary education, tutoring/homework help, private care, and live-out nanny. I create and foster consistent routines of learning and development through age-appropriate activities. Parents choose me as I’m direct in approach, proactive in planning, and prepared to jump in for a smooth transition for everyone. Children thrive in my care because I am attentive, patient, consistent, and use firm, but gentle boundaries. Safety is my focus. Spaces used are maintained. References available at request.
“Marci helped us out when we needed childcare last minute. We traveled into town and both myself and my husband needed to work which is tough with a highly active jet lagged baby. Marci was lovely she even had a few of her own things to amuse our son. She was great about communication and safety. I would 100% book her again. ”
