I am fun loving of all kids and pets. With my own daughter I learned a lot about growing children and how to teach and help them grow into the best part of themselves. I also know what it means for parents to have a break, and can easily make sure to give you the peace of mind needed when taking a much needed break.

Rashida $18 per hour for 1 child

Hello! My name is Rashida, and I have a deep passion for working with children. Over the past five years, I've gained extensive experience caring for kids in various settings. I've had the pleasure of working in daycare, infant preschool, and elementary schools, specifically with children from kindergarten through fifth grade. Throughout my career, I've developed a strong understanding of child development and have honed my skills in creating a safe, nurturing, and engaging environment for children of all ages. I believe in the importance of fostering both educational growth and emotional well-being, ensuring that each child feels valued and supported. My approach to childcare is centered around patience, creativity, and consistency. I love incorporating fun, educational activities into our daily routines, whether it's through interactive games, arts and crafts, or outdoor play. I also prioritize open communication with parents to ensure that we are working together to meet the unique needs of each child. I'm dedicated to providing reliable and compassionate care, and I look forward to the opportunity to support your family and contribute to your child's growth and happiness. Thank you for considering me as your nanny! Best regards, Rashida

Booked by 2 families in Palos Hills, 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 was amazing with our 4 year old and 1 year old. Very attentive, caring and kind. Our kids had a great time.

Hello! My name is Olivia. I am a 30 year old Special Education teacher. I am looking for a family who needs an occasional sitter on evenings, weekends or in the summer (date night, last minute, etc). I have worked with children of all ages, abilities & have cared for 3+ children at a time. I genuinely love kids- helping them, teaching them, building healthy relationships, going on adventures & being out in nature. In my free time, I spend time with family, friends & my dogs. I am very comfortable working with families who have pets as well! I am flexible, dependable & trustworthy.
