Find nannies in Bellwood, IL

Hi families! I’m Emily 👋🏼 A loving, experienced nanny with 10+ years in childcare. I began babysitting in college, earned my Bachelor’s in English, and went on to teach Pre-K and elementary students in Spain. 🇪🇸 Later, I pursued my Master’s in Early Childhood Education with a focus on Special Education. I’ve worked in classrooms ranging from Pre-K through 8th grade and am comfortable caring for children of all ages and abilities. I prioritize creating a calm, nurturing environment that supports kids’ social-emotional development and curiosity. Some of my favorite activities include reading, yoga, outdoor play, crafts, and long walks! I speak conversational Spanish and would be happy to practice with your little ones. I’m CPR certified, have my own car, and am great with pets. Since I teach during the school year, I’m currently available for seasonal summer care, with ongoing availability for evening and weekend babysitting. I’d love to build a warm, trusted relationship with your family! Warmly, Emily 🤍

Hello, my name is Adriana . A few years ago I worked at a daycare for a few months, taking care of boys and girls of all ages. My job was to make breakfast and lunch for the children, as well as providing personal care and naps. Later, I worked at a fresh market for over 4 years, serving salads among other jobs at the Tony's store. My jobs were in the produce department, cutting fruits and vegetables in the produce department. And... currently, I work in senior care for a company in the south Chicago area. I've been at this job for almost two years. I do housework, doctor's appointments, laundry, banking, among other jobs. I adapt to people. I am very patient and kind, and I travel all over Chicago. I also have letters of recommendation from employers, clients, and family. I like doing a good job, and I only like cats and dogs. And lastly, I'm Mexican and I speak Spanish and basic English.

Hello! My name is Amy, and I’m 27 years old. I recently graduated with a BFA in Graphic Design from Northeastern Illinois University. I am currently seeking part-time or full-time childcare opportunities throughout the year. I have over 10 years of experience caring for children of all ages, including infants, toddlers, young children, and teenagers. I am also currently working as a special needs paraprofessional, where I support and care for children with diverse learning and developmental needs. Additionally, I volunteer in my church nursery and have experience supervising larger groups of children during special events at a local preschool. I truly enjoy engaging with kids through creative and fun activities like arts and crafts, painting, drawing, imaginative play, tea parties, reading, and games. I’m very much a kid at heart, and children naturally feel comfortable and happy around me. I am also comfortable with pets. I have a dog that I care for daily, including walking, feeding, and administering medication, and I help care for my aunt’s cats when she is out of town. I am happy to assist with light cleanup after the children and can prepare simple meals or snacks as needed. I would love the opportunity to care for your children and create a safe, fun, and nurturing environment for them. Thank you for your consideration!
