Find nannies in River Forest, IL

My name is Miranda M., and I have been a caregiver for over 13 years. Caring for others is something that I truly enjoy doing. I not only make every effort to please the client who is seeking a quality professional, I listen to the needs and likes of the other clients, the children. I am a CPR, AED, lifeguard certified under the American Red Cross. I have cared for children from 6 mos to 14 yrs old. I can help families with daily care, weekend or date night relief, overnight care and after school activities. I am happy to prepare set meals, pack lunches for school, tidy up after the kids and oversee nightly bedtime routine. I have extensive experience with all age groups as a sitter and as a lifeguard. Understanding the household rules and expectations is something that creates an environment where everyone feels safe and understood. Activities include enjoying the outdoors as long as the weather permits. Getting fresh air and sunshine does the soul good. I love the museum campus and the Shedd aquarium is one of my favorites. I have a passion for soccer, but am open to all sporting activities and learning new things. I Majored in Classical Voice Performance, so singing is literally my forte! I can offer singing lessons, theater and acting coaching, basic dance knowledge and always willing to learn new moves. I am happy to follow a tutor curriculum or offer school work support. I am a great baker and I make the perfect fluffy scrambled eggs (cooking is not limited here). Along with all my training through the American Red Cross, I have also completed two Care Giver Instruction Courses. My senior care experience has been limited to more along the lines of a Senior Companion. I have meal prepped, errand running, dog walking, and serve as an excellent Gold Fish player and a book reader. I believe everyone truly deserves a companion no matter how old they are. I try to offer companionship with a tender heart. Working for the elderly, takes compassion, patience, and empathy. I have had experience with both cats, and dogs. With proper instruction I am happy to feed your goldfish. I will walk, feed, play, cuddle and wash your fur baby ( I am not certified to cut hair or clip nails). I will walk you pet to the groomer or vet when required. Size of cat and or dog does not matter. Shedding happens. No worries I own a lint roller and lots of tide pods.

Hello! I’m am currently a sign language interpreter with Chicago Public Schools and am getting my masters in Special Education with a concentration in Deaf Education and Behavioral Analysis.

Hello Urban Parents! My name is Viktorija and I have been a nanny for over 10 years now and I absolutely love my job! I am looking for mostly part-time positions around 25-30 hours a week! I am a college graduate with a 3.9 cumulative GPA and a degree in Media and Communications. Since high school and throughout college Ive been consistently babysitting/nannying for multiple families, including caring for my two nieces since their birth. I have a passion for working with kids and teaching them new skills, expanding their understanding of the ever-changing world as they grow and get them to be more active in their play. I love the outdoors but I have no problem being creative indoors either. Every child sees even the smallest thing as an opportunity to be creative and imaginative. I guess i've kept a lot of my inner child to this day which is why i find it so easy to connect and care for children :) My biggest passions are sports, singing, songwriting and visual arts. I also love dog walking, taking care of animals and don’t mind doing house managing to families as I have a lot of experience with executive administration work. Let’s chat to see how we can find a best fit for your needs.

I’m a student at DePaul University working toward my Master’s in Education and currently student teaching in Chicago. I also work with kids in special education, so I bring patience, creativity, and a supportive approach to every child I care for. I can help with homework, tutoring, fun activities, and light household tasks. I’m CPR and first-aid trained, reliable, and love keeping kids engaged and safe. Excited to meet your family!

Hi! My name is Nicole. I am originally from Orange County, Calfornia. I received my BA in Psychology from Princeton University in 2012, completed a post-baccalaureate program at Harvard in 2015, and earned my MD from the University of Southern California (fight on!) in 2021. I moved to Chicago in June of 2021 for general surgery residency at Northwestern and am currently completing two years of academic development time, which encompasses conducting research and pursuing my Master of Science in Health Services and Outcomes Research. I am the middle child between two brothers and started babysitting when I was 12 years old. I have cared for children of all ages (from infants to teenagers) and feel very comfortable watching multiple children at a time. I was a volunteer in the pediatrics unit at Massachusetts General Hospital for three years and have done extensive coursework in child development, which included frequent visits to a preschool in New Jersey as well as the Eden Institute for children with Autism. Additionally, I have completed several pediatric surgery rotations in residency and am well-versed in pediatric medical care. I have a great deal of experience in childcare from many years of babysitting, volunteering, and schooling and love children very much. Some of my favorite activities to do with the children I care for include reading, puzzles, arts and crafts, dress up, playing classical music, dancing, going to the park, practicing numbers/colors/letters, baking, and coloring. I also love to cook and have no issue preparing snacks, breakfast, lunch, or dinner. If you have any questions, please feel free to ask. I look forward to working with you and your family!
