Hello! I'm truly passionate about working with children and helping them grow in a safe, caring, and fun environment. I currently work as a Teacher Assistant at Chicago Public Schools, where I support first-grade students (ages 6-7) with daily classroom activities, as well as help build their reading, writing, and communication skills. I hold a Bachelor's degree from the University of Illinois at Chicago. I'm fluent in both English and Spanish. I am also a graduate student and working towards my Masters degree in Early Childhood Education. I love being outdoors, encouraging kids to explore, ask questions, and learn through play and discovery. Whether it's helping with homework, planning creative activities, or simply being a positive role model. I'd love the opportunity to bring my experience, patience, and energy to your family!

Hello! I have 8 years of mixed experience with children 6 weeks to 10 years old with a specific focus on language, emotional, and cognitive development 6 months - 6 years. I am well-versed in conflict resolution, potty training, Montessori methods, and growth of fine and gross motor skills. I laugh loudly at the park and speak softly at the library. I make up songs with children that include their names and interests and teach children to cook. I drive families to airports, grocery shop, meal prep, handle repairs, organize and schedule appointments, and coordinate other household staff. I am adept in tutoring up through high school curriculum. I am able to set and keep pace with fast and slow track learning. I have experience with asthma, hearing aids, G-tubes, juvenile diabetes, autism, and many other special care needs. I got into the care business as a profession after helping my grandmother through her twilight years with dementia. My main goal in life is to be helpful. I have plenty of references who would love to hear from you and I look forward to hearing about your nanny/house manager needs!

My name is Alex and I'm a recent graduate from the University of Chicago. I've been doing contract work since I graduated, but am looking for something more consistent as I prepare for and apply to law school. I'm offering child, pet, and house care services. I babysat throughout high school and, during the pandemic, nannied in Telluride, CO while attending class remotely for a year. While nannying I drove the kids to and from school, cooked, cleaned the house, tutored, fed and walked the dog, and regularly took the kids skiing.

Hi! I have cared for my family member in different moments of their lives, from my brother's children to both my grandmas, as well for family pets. From that, I became confident in my abilities, care and compassion even when things get a little messy. I have treated caregiving as a side-hustle for a long time, sometimes being a child's cook or by giving an injured iguana, a bath (I also help my veterinarian friend sometimes!). You can trust me with your loved ones as I will take care of them as if they were my family.
