Find nannies in Highland Park, IL

I am starting a social work master's in the city in the fall, pivoting from a career in science and health writing, and I am looking for summer nanny jobs and babysitting opportunities beyond summer! I am creative, conscientious, and have over 10 years of childcare experience, including in schools, Christian education, babysitting, and tutoring. I also have several years of special education experience and feel very comfortable around kids with disabilities and/or neurodivergence. I love animals and have a dog of my own and would be happy to support you in running your household (childcare, pet care, light tidying, and whatever else you might need!). My favorite activities to do with kiddos include outdoor education, art projects, and guiding them through simple cooking and baking.

Hi - My name is Kennedy. I’m currently a freshman at Saint Louis University. I am offering child care and household services. I love babysitting and have been watching toddlers and kids since I was 14 years old. My responsibilities included driving children to and from school, cooking dinner, helping children with homework, running errands and keeping things clean and tidy around the house. I’ve also worked diligently to become CPR certified and food handling certified! The safety of all of my clients is my number one priority! I’m allergic to cats but I am more than willing to work with families who have any other pets!

I’m a retired professional and Northwestern graduate with a caring, dependable nature and years of hands-on experience helping seniors and families. I cared for my father through his Alzheimer’s journey and now assist my 85-year-old mother-in-law and 86-year-old stepmom with daily needs — from shopping and meals to yardwork and companionship. I understand the challenges of caring for aging parents and know how to connect with those facing memory issues in a calm, positive way. I keep a clean, organized home, am an excellent cook, and a very efficient grocery shopper. I also bring over 40 years of experience in yard care and maintenance, ensuring that both homes and outdoor spaces are well cared for. In addition to senior care, I’m available for pet sitting, house sitting, and general household help. My goal is to make life easier, safer, and more enjoyable — and to bring dependable support to families who could use an extra hand.

Hi! My name is Jakaira, but you can call me Kai. I am 19 years old and currently attending college part-time to pursue a nursing career. I am also a beginner caregiver for older adults. I have over 10 years of childcare experience, as I have been helping care for children since I was 9 years old. Over the years, I have discovered that I truly enjoy caring for children, building strong bonds with them, and developing positive relationships with their families. I love helping children learn new things, creating fun activities, and getting to know each child’s unique personality. I am also happy to help with homework, clean up after activities, and prepare simple meals when needed. In my free time, I enjoy painting, being creative, and coming up with fun and engaging activities for children. I was also a dancer throughout high school, which taught me discipline, patience, and teamwork. In addition to childcare, I am beginning my journey as a caregiver for older adults. While I am still gaining experience, I am a fast learner, dependable, and always willing to help. One of the things I enjoy most about caregiving is building meaningful connections, listening to people’s stories, and providing support when they need it. I am also comfortable around pets and have plenty of experience caring for dogs, as I grew up with them and currently have one of my own. I look forward to helping families by providing reliable, compassionate, and attentive care.
