Find nannies in River Forest, IL

Hi - My name is Nancy and I've been working with kids since I was 19 and love it. I started by helping my aunt, she used to babysit from home and I really enjoyed helping her. I have two big boys now, one of 19 years old and the other one of 14 years old. Over the last few years, I've worked on babysitting for date nights and on my days off. Primarily with infants and toddlers, but I love kids of all ages. If it's nice out, I like to take the kids outside, but if not, I like to play with them, reading, singing, and for older kids I like to do some crafting too.

Hello, my name is Jovana! I graduated college in June of 2024. I offer childcare and pet care. I have been babysitting on and off since I was 18 years old. I have about a year experience with children ages 6 to 8. I also have around 3 years of experience with children ages 2-5. I enjoy preparing snacks and helping the kiddos with homework if needed. I try to come up with fun ways to keep the kids busy, such as playing board games, building forts, and the occasional dance party. As far as pet care, I grew up having two cats and currently have a German Sheppard. I am comfortable taking dogs on walks and feeding the animals when necessary. I am also open to household chores/errands if needed! I can cook, clean, or take the kids to and from activities after school.

Hi! My name is Nick, and I’m passionate about working with children of all ages and abilities. I currently work in Chicago Public Schools as a Special Education Classroom Assistant in a cluster program serving Kindergarten through 2nd grade. This has strengthened my commitment to supporting students with diverse needs. Before joining CPS, I worked in an assisted living home, which helped me develop patience, empathy, and strong caregiving skills. I’ve also worked with the Chicago Park District for the past eight years as a summer camp counselor, helping run day camps, lead activities, and build positive relationships with kids. In addition, I coach high school baseball every spring and am currently in my sixth season, which has given me experience motivating older students and creating a supportive, team-focused environment. I’m also a student at National Louis University, where I’m studying Elementary Education. Families describe me as caring, responsible, and energetic. I’m CPR-certified and experienced in supporting children with special needs. Above all, I strive to create a safe, fun, and positive environment where children can learn and grow. I’m looking for a family who values kindness, communication, and trust, and I’d love the chance to provide dependable care you can count on.
