Find nannies in Elmwood Park, IL

Hi! I’m Tiana, a teacher and longtime lover of working with kids. I am currently a licensed special education teacher and have experience working with children across a variety of ages, personalities, and needs. Working with kids is something I genuinely enjoy, and I love creating an environment where they feel safe, comfortable, and cared for. As a teacher, I’m patient, responsible, organized, and used to handling everything from big emotions and busy schedules to homework help and keeping kids entertained. I’m also comfortable working with children who have different learning styles or additional needs. I believe babysitting should be more than simply supervising children, so I enjoy getting to know each child and finding activities that they genuinely enjoy. I’m happy to help with homework, meals, bedtime routines, playtime, crafts, reading, outdoor activities, and whatever else makes your family’s routine a little easier. I’m also comfortable following parents’ routines and expectations because I know every family does things a little differently. Outside of teaching, I recently got married and moved to Chicago with my husband. I love spending time with family and friends, cooking, exploring the city, and being outdoors. I’m a warm, dependable, and easygoing person, but I also understand the importance of structure and boundaries when caring for children. Most importantly, I want parents to feel completely comfortable knowing their children are in good hands. I’ll treat your home and your family with respect and care, and I’ll do my best to make your kids feel safe, happy, and cared for while you’re away!

Hello! I have been babysitting since before I could drive at 13 years old and have always loved it. I often babysat for a family that had a 2, 4, and 6 year old during the evenings and bedtime. I also consistently cared for a 9 month only. I then coached at a local gymnastic facility and ran kids birthday parties, taught classes, and summer camps. Following that, I taught as an assistant teacher at a Preschool for two years. The second year, I ran my own classroom of 4 year olds. I have had the most experience with ages 1-5, but also have experience with infants and older elementary students. I am from Troy, Michigan and moved to Chicago! I have a full time job during the week, but am hoping to babysit mostly just on the weekends and occasionally after school. Please let me know if you have any questions!

Hi families,I’m Melody! I’m a warm, calm, and patient childcare professional with over 5 years of experience working with children 6 weeks- 15 years old. I truly enjoy getting to know each child as an individual and creating a caring, nurturing environment where they can feel comfortable, confident, and free to be themselves. Over the years, I’ve had the opportunity to work with Reggio, Waldorf, and Montessori-inspired teaching styles. I love bringing elements of these approaches into everyday activities, especially through art, creativity, and sensory play. I enjoy creating activities that allow children to explore, get curious, use their imagination, and learn through hands-on experiences. I’m CPR/AED and Anaphylaxis trained, and I’m also a non-smoker. The safety and well-being of the children I care for is always one of my top priorities. Outside of childcare, I love reading, yoga, cooking, going for walks, and visiting farmers markets on Sunday mornings. I enjoy a slower, intentional lifestyle and love sharing that sense of curiosity and appreciation for the little things with children. Most of all, I genuinely love working with children. It’s incredibly rewarding to watch them grow, discover new interests, and become more independent. I strive to be a dependable and nurturing presence for both the children and their families. I’m excited to get to know you more!
