I have been working on and off in childcare simce I was in early high school! I was trained by the red cross in Babysitting and standard CPR/ First Aid and have kept up with my certification. I love engaging kids in their imaginations as I am in the creative world myself. I am also passionate about being active and love games and activities that involve movement. I know the importance of good communication and always make that my top priority when it comes to working with families. I believe that trust is built on effective communication. I am a very energetic and bubbly person, so I really love talking with kids and bringing them out of their shells!

Hi! My name is Paige Genevieve and I am currently 23 and I graduated from Columbia College Chicago last year with a BFA in Musical Theatre. I love music, movies, and really all things artsy- paintings, poems, fashion, etc. I’m currently a server in west loop on weekends, and looking to free those weekends up for traveling to see family for the summer. I have over a decade of experience nannying for children ages 0-15. I have experience with children with learning disabilities and special needs. Infants, toddlers, pre-teens, multiple children- all very familiar to me. I can provide meal prep, household chores, love getting kiddos outdoors when weather permits, various enrichment activity, flexible learning/playing styles and I love animals so pets are no problem! I have a great passion for working with children and making families feel at ease and have peace of mind with their childcare. I am here to make your life easier! I had an amazing sitter growing up and try to emulate her always. I was also a Birthday Party Princess, so I’m big fans of Disney families! •• I am looking for a part-time- potential for full time- daily schedule. Preferred times: between 9:00-12:00 start, and 4:00-5:00 pm end time. Flexible of course, but my preference••

I bring a well rounded background in childcare, education, wellness, and behavioral support, with experience caring for children across many ages, abilities, and settings. I’ve worked as a babysitter, a co-lead teacher in infant and toddler classrooms at Bright Horizons, and for Jumpstart during college, supporting early literacy and social-emotional development with young children. I also have experience creating fun, high energy environments from my time at Chuck E. Cheese, as well as coaching cheerleading, where I supported teamwork, confidence, and physical coordination. I’m currently a certified children’s yoga teacher and puppy yoga instructor, integrating movement, mindfulness, and play to help children regulate their energy, build body awareness, and feel confident in their bodies. I hold a Bachelor of Science in Health Science and have previous Behavioral Technician training, including experience supporting autistic children and working with NorthShore Pediatric Therapy in Chicago, giving me a strong foundation in developmental awareness, patience, and individualized care. While I don’t have children of my own, I’m a proud cat mom, and I approach caregiving with a nurturing, calm, and attentive presence. I am reliable, engaging, safety focused, and intentional, whether that means structured activities, gentle guidance, or simply creating a supportive, fun environment where children feel seen and cared for. I am also certified in Accessible & Chair Yoga that is great for seniors.

I am always recognized by friends and colleagues as a caring, uplifting, and dependable person who truly enjoys supporting children and families. I have more to give with creative background and Bi-lingual educational background can support more for children to learn, grow, and feel safe, happy, and loved. My previous homeschooling experience with a loving family has given me a strong foundation in creating a supportive and playful environment, and caring for children with age appropriate needs, and assist with daily routines, outdoors(playground and museum activities), school transportation, homework, creative activities, light household help, and healthy meals. I also have a reliable car, a clean driving record, and CPR & AED certification through the American Heart Association. Thank you for considering me to care for your children and support your family needs.

Hi, I'm Melanie! I'm 24 years old and currently studying Psychology. I have over four years of experience as a babysitter and nanny, working with children of all ages-from infants to preteens. I believe my psychology major allows me to better understand children's emotional, cognitive, and developmental needs. This knowledge helps me create a nurturing environment where kids can thrive and learn in a way that's developmentally appropriate for their age. I am patient, creative, and imaginative. I enjoy using these qualities to create fun and engaging activities. I love playing outdoor sports, physical games, board games, puzzles, and educational activities that promote learning. Craft-making is also one of my favorites! Additionally, I speak both English and Spanish, have my own car, and can provide references. I look forward to meeting your family and supporting your children's growth and development in any way I can!
