Find nannies in Oak 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.

Hey there! Currently, I am pursuing a career in diagnostic sonography at North Park University. My name is Ornina. I consider myself to be very responsible, polite, hard worker, and informed because I think these are important traits that might help kids develop good habits. I have been a babysitter for almost six years. I have adapted to creating a secure and supportive space for kids of all ages. Please don't hesitate to contact me with any inquiries! I'm excited to talk more with you all!

Hi! I’m Manasseh—a natural caregiver who grew up as the middle child but with the responsibilities of the oldest. From an early age, I was the one getting my siblings and cousins ready for school, making dinner, folding laundry, and keeping the house running smoothly. Those years taught me how to be patient, kind, and quick on my feet—especially when it comes to solving problems or settling disagreements. I love creating fun, engaging activities that keep kids smiling while also making sure they feel safe and cared for. Whether it’s cooking a healthy meal, helping with homework, or turning chores into a game, I bring energy, creativity, and a warm heart to everything I do. With gratitude, Manasseh

Hi! My name is Santana McClendon, and I’m a 20-year-old senior in college pursuing my degree in Early Childhood Education. I have extensive experience working with children of all ages. I began in my early teens working at a daycare every summer, where I cared for children ranging from 5 months to 12 years old. During my time there, I helped teach, engage, supervise, and create a safe, fun, and nurturing environment for every child. After turning 18 and getting my first car, I worked for a transportation company, safely transporting children to and from school, summer camp, and home. This role strengthened my reliability, responsibility, and ability to build positive relationships with both children and families. This past school year, I worked as a Special Education Classroom Assistant (SECA) with Chicago Public Schools, where I supported preschool students ages 4–5 with diverse learning needs while collaborating closely with teachers to create a positive and inclusive classroom environment. In addition to my work with CPS, I have consistently nannied for multiple families. One family had a 13-year-old son and a 7-year-old daughter, while another family has a 9-year-old son. These experiences have strengthened my ability to adapt to each family’s routines while providing dependable, engaging, and compassionate care. I am also CPR certified, giving families added peace of mind that I am prepared to respond in the event of an emergency. One thing I love most about nannying is being able to balance being a fun, energetic caregiver with supporting each child’s learning and development. Whether we’re spending the afternoon at the park, having a dance battle in the living room, doing arts and crafts, reading books, or working on age-appropriate learning activities, I strive to make every day both enjoyable and meaningful. My education in Early Childhood Education and my hands-on experience have given me the knowledge to support children’s social, emotional, academic, and developmental growth while making sure they have fun along the way. Working with children has always been my passion, and I truly enjoy helping them learn, grow, and feel supported. Families describe me as reliable, patient, caring, fun, flexible, and trustworthy. I prioritize creating a safe, engaging, and loving environment where children can thrive. As the new school year approaches, I’m looking for a full-time nannying position, though I am open for part-time! Please reach out!!
