Find nannies in River Forest, IL

I am a very experienced when it comes to all ages of childcare. I’ve spent more than 10+ years working with children all the way up to 13 years of age. With infants, I’m very vigilant and interactive, I keep them entertained and always smiling and I make sure that the schedule a parent has in place is always followed. I’m very patient with kids and will always make sure they are taken care of to the best of ability. With older children, I take care of them with their afterschool activities and if a parent wish to do other outings I am always available to spend a fun afternoon out.

I recently moved to Chicago upon completion of my degree in dance through the Alonzo King Lines Ballet. Throughout the last 7 years, I have built up a plethora of experience nannying families of all types in an effort to support my professional dance journey. I've worked with families with up to four children, as well cared for families with kids as young as newborns and as old as teenagers (both in part-time and full-time capacities). Additionally, I have extensive experience with kids with disabilities. In all these roles, I have been known for building genuine connections, maintaining organization, and stepping in wherever needed! Whether it be niche tasks you ask to be fulfilled or little things you didn't even know you needed taking care of, I bring a thoughtful, caring, and hands-on approach to care. I am looking forward to helping families in the area and growing my range of community here in a new city. Please don't hesitate to reach out with any questions! I am happy to provide more information about myself as well as a number of references and a full caretaking resume at your request.

Hello! My name is Ashley, and I live in Lakeview! I work as an elementary school paraprofessional/teacher’s aid, and I have 5+ years of child care under my belt as well as experience caregiving for children and adults with a range of disabilities. I am originally from the metro-Detroit area, and hold a BFA degree in acting. When working in childcare, I often use my performing arts background to create enriching and exciting activities for the kids! I am energetic and fun, and will make sure your children are well cared for while also reinforcing your family routine and daily expectations. Building off of my performing arts background, my teaching experience has given me the knowledge necessary to provide structure and set clear expectations. I would love to talk with you more and get to know your family!

Hi, I am 3rd year medical student and I know how hard it can be sometimes to understand concepts of math science and even spelling and writing for a 1st grader. I love teaching. I would be happy to help them understand and ease their difficulties with all the joy and love I have for teaching!

Hey! I’m Nikki the Nanny! I’m funny, easygoing, bright, communicative, energetic, adaptable, compassionate and simply adore children and all animals. I’m a career nanny and mother with over sixteen years of experience with children from 0-12. I’ve cared for up to three children at once and have had multiple successful nanny shares. As a nanny I can organize themed weeks highlighting one particular animal, sound, culture, idea, with trips, art, or music associated with that theme. Book making, science projects, sewing, directing little films, art, dance, robot building and more are all fun activities I’ve done with my nanny kids. I drive, swim, don’t smoke and I’m current in all immunizations. I can lift over 100lbs, walk long distances, paint, play sports, cook, assemble furniture, food prep and have early speech therapy training and teach baby sign language as well. I live on the north side of Chicago. I am CPR/AED and First Aid certified. I have impeccable professional references however my toddler and my teenager are my greatest references. My teenager is bright, happy, confident, hilarious and attends the Lane Tech High School AP Omega program earning college credits as a senior. My toddler has over 200 words and understands some Spanish. I raise them with love, patience, discipline and respect with a focus on education, the same things I implement into my “nannying”. Thank you for stopping by!
