Find nannies in Bedford Park, IL

Hi, I am Tara. I have been a childcare professional for almost 7 years. I love taking care of children and pets, while also providing families with dependable and trustworthy service. Over this time period, I have kept 7 children full-time. Skills include cooking, cleaning, assisting in travel to school and receiving from school. Childcare brings joy and helping families is most important to me! I am fluent in English, Spanish and Italian.

I am a former television journalist, field producer, and news team manager with national and regional experience in multiple cities at major news companies. I have earned a bachelor’s and master’s degree, so far. I was awarded an honorary doctorate for extensive community-focused digital media programming. . I left it all to form a youth-focused nonprofit in Chicago. After helping youth and young parents with their children, I recently decided I would try being a nanny/child caregiver when another nanny told me I would be great at it because of my nurturing personality, skills and love for children & youth. Babysitting was my first job. I grew up babysitting regularly for my neighbors, family friends, and even my teachers’ children. I also love cleaning homes and businesses. I am the daughter of an amazing mother who cleaned at a large hospital. I joined the staff to raise money for college. I know that having a busy family with children plus cleaning a home can be challenging. I love to utilize my large repertoire of skills and experiences to help others do better in life. I believe this Urban Sitter will be a good opportunity for me to grow as I help families and help to nurture and teach children while fulfilling a need for parents. Parents can breathe easy because their children will be safe, nurtured, and taught by me…a person who will genuinely do all I can to ensure their children are safe, nurtured, protected, and cared for by a sitter who takes her job seriously. I do speak Spanish at an intermediate level. I studied in Cuernavaca, Mexico. I understand as long as it is spoken at a slower speed. I love seeing precious children and teens grow and learn. Playing a role in this process brings me joy.

Hi! My name is Sofia, and I’m a Chicago native—born and raised mostly in Logan Square. As the eldest sibling of two younger brothers, caregiving has been a natural part of my life from an early age. I’ve spent the past few years working as a lifeguard and swim instructor, teaching kids ages 3–13 how to be safe and confident in the water. I truly love being around people—laughter, conversation, and creativity are a big part of who I am. I’m also a huge animal lover. I’ve had a dog, two cats, and even two geckos, so I’m more than comfortable around pets and happy to care for them too. I’m passionate about art, both making it and appreciating it, and I feel most at home outdoors. Whether we’re doing crafts, going on walks, or just sharing a good laugh, I bring warmth, patience, and positivity to every interaction. I’m excited to support your family in a safe, engaging, and joyful way!
