Find nannies in Lincolnwood, IL

Hi, my name is Daniela. I love kids and dogs. Sadly allergic to cats. I can offer help with kids homework. I like sitting and guiding them through the right steps until they understand without getting impatient. I like cooking. I help around the house such as washing dishes, putting things away, sweeping, and what I think needs attention. I like playing with kids and doing fun activities. I often take care of my nice and nephew 5-6yrs old and my cousins which are two 8 yr olds and one 11yr old.

Hi! My name is Irma, but I prefer to go by my middle name, Laura. I am a bilingual (English and Spanish) Latina with over 12 years of experience in early childhood education — 6 years as a kindergarten teacher and 6 years teaching preschool. I earned my bachelor’s degree in Early Childhood Education from DePaul University, and during my college years, I also taught Sunday school. As a mom myself, I understand the importance of creating a warm, nurturing environment and am very comfortable with household tasks like cooking, cleaning, and organizing. I am passionate about supporting children’s growth and development, and I look forward to bringing my experience and care into your home!

I take great pleasure in making those around me feel good. I've always loved working with families. I was a nanny for many years before I started my own family. I have seven kids of my own. Five girls and two boys. Loving on them the best way I can everyday.

My upbringing in a large family of ten children naturally fostered a sense of responsibility and patience within me, as I often assisted my parents with my younger siblings. This caregiving role has been a consistent thread throughout my life. For over a decade, I've volunteered at my church, teaching children between the ages of 3 and 14. I also support mothers during church services by caring for their children, from newborns to ages 4 or 5, allowing them to fully participate in the service or assist in the kitchen. Sometimes, this simply provides mothers without local family support a much-needed break. Additionally, I regularly babysit and help my siblings with their 11 children. Coming from such a large and active family, I am comfortable with noise and thrive in busy environments. Professionally, I spent two fulfilling years as an English as a Second Language teacher at a charter school. Currently, I work as an Administrative Assistant in an office setting, where my responsibilities extend beyond typical administrative duties. I oversee morning drop-offs and dismissals, occasionally substitute teach, troubleshoot technology issues, and assist students with financial aid and high school applications.

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.
