Find nannies in River Forest, IL

Hi! My name is Theo and I'm an artist with extensive childcare experience. I began my childcare journey in 2020 as a private swim instructor for children with special needs, then moved into part time and full time nannying while working as a barista. I currently work as an Outdoor Lead Guide for a young toddler class at a Montessori preschool. As much as I love my students and the community of families I work with, I am attending a full time circus school program beginning in the fall and need to work later hours in the day to accommodate with my class schedule. My favorite thing about working with children is witnessing them experience the world for the first time. It's truly amazing how much you can learn about life by observing a kiddo's unfiltered perspective. Working with younger children has always brought a deep sense of fulfillment and joy to my life. I would love to meet you and your family to see if I'm the right fit for you and your needs!

Hello! I have been babysitting since before I could drive at 13 years old and have always loved it. I often babysat for a family that had a 2, 4, and 6 year old during the evenings and bedtime. I also consistently cared for a 9 month only. I then coached at a local gymnastic facility and ran kids birthday parties, taught classes, and summer camps. Following that, I taught as an assistant teacher at a Preschool for two years. The second year, I ran my own classroom of 4 year olds. I have had the most experience with ages 1-5, but also have experience with infants and older elementary students. I am from Troy, Michigan and moved to Chicago! I have a full time job during the week, but am hoping to babysit mostly just on the weekends and occasionally after school. Please let me know if you have any questions!

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!

Hello! My name is Madeline, and I am 24 years old with a degree in Environmental Science from the University of Denver. I am a compassionate, patient, and experienced caregiver. I have a well-rounded background in childcare, household management, and pet care.  I have worked with children of all ages, from newborns to teenagers. I have experience as a part-time nanny, a household manager, an occasional sitter, an overnight sitter, and currently lead nature walk fieldtrips at Rainbow Beach with classes from 4th grade to 8th grade.  While completing my degree, I worked as a nanny and household manager for a family with a set of twins ages 9 for 2 years.

I have nannied for my cousins and family friends every summer for the last 7 years. My childcare style is safe, nurturing, play-based, and responsive.

Hi – My name is Bruna and I was an Au Pair for two years, where I gained valuable experience caring for children of different ages. During this time, my responsibilities included school and activity drop-offs/pick-ups, preparing meals, bath time, and bedtime routines. I truly enjoy spending time with kids and supporting them in their daily routines. Families describe me as caring, patient, and very organized. I don’t smoke or drink, and I am a strong and safe driver. I also love animals and nature, so I’m always happy to include outdoor play, walks, or fun activities that keep kids active and engaged.
