Hello, I am currently available on Wednesdays, Fridays and Saturdays. Hope something works out! :) I have experience working with little ones, adolescents, and adults with special needs in various settings. I've worked taking care of kids for years. I love kids; they're all unique and fun. I prefer to work with older children versus infants. If needed, I would send updates to the parents about how the day is going with pictures. Although it is more than worth my time and energy to care for your little one, it is important that I am compensated for the time originally agreed upon, even if you arrive earlier. I do require a 24-hour cancellation notice. I reserved that special time just for you. I am bilingual and have been told that people are very receptive to me. Look forward to meeting you and your family. Thank You! :)) (updated 07/2026)

Hello, my name is Brenda. I’m 20 years old. I’m currently a CNA and a daycare teacher. I want to be an elementary school teacher, and I want more experience with children. I babysit for family and friends before and I’m happy to give references.

Since the age of 14, I've been passionate about childcare, starting with training at my local library. I stayed active throughout my four years of high school by doing gymnastics. In high school I also took 2 full years of Early Childhood Studies including a preschool class where we did lesson planning and taught preschoolers all subjects.By 15, I began working at a restaurant in arlington heights, where I stayed for a bit over three years. During this time, I also took small courses in childcare and realized my true calling was to become a nanny. I’m bilingual and enjoy teaching the little ones a bit! In my free time I like to read on my mini kindle ipad.I also gained experience in retail and Athleta and am now in my first year of college, majoring in psychology.

I am currently a full time nanny for 2 families weekdays M-F. I am interested and available to care for your kiddos if you need an extra hand juggling the demands of parenting from 7pm onward on weekdays, drop offs and pick ups from extra curricular activities any day and time weekend days and also home care during night time hours on weekends so mom and dad can stay connected and share adult time alone. Once you and I have established a mutually trusting and comfortable relationship, I am open to overnight care options if you would like to have a getaway weekend as long as the timing of such would not conflict with with my commitments to my weekday families. I am an obsessional tidier so always picking up and putting away things. If needed, I can prepare age appropriate light meals with the ingredients you provide. I am not a cleaning lady although I am a clean lady. If mutually agreed upon in advance I may be able to assist with light housework and light laundry while babysitting, although child care would be my principal focus. My hourly base rate is $22 to 30 hour depending on how many children require care and the distance from my home. Extra duties will be an additional pre-agreed charge based on requirements. I am a non smoker, first aid and CPR certified. I own a recent, reliable vehicle. I welcome caring for children from diverse nationalities, faiths, and relationships. I am an active person that loves the outdoors and will take your children outdoors weather permitting. I believe in activities that foster creative minds and curiosity as apposed to screen time or electronic devices. I myself love reading and would love to read to your children from their favorite books and their play board games with them.
