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!

Hi everyone, I'm Hanna! I am moving to Chicago ASAP, so I am looking for a new family to nanny for right after I move (flexible)! I'm 26 and have been caring for children for 8.5 years. I am currently a nanny/house manager full-time for an amazing family who has twins who recently turned 3, a 5-year-old, and sometimes their cousin is there who's 2. I love to plan fun educational activities and games for the kids like sensory bins, fine motor skills focused tasks, sorting colors/shapes/letters. We love to play inside and outside, go to the zoo, parks, pool, splash pads, take them and their large dog on walks, and bring them weekly to their gymnastics class. I have been with them for 2 years, and was with various other families in the past, as well as worked at a daycare/preschool for a year and absolutely loved it! I am able to do any extra tasks such as laundry, light housekeeping, run errands, grocery shop, organize areas, prep meals, car cleaning and maintenance, and more. I have experience with children ages 3-months-11-years-old, but most of my time has been with infants and toddlers. At the daycare, my duties included things like bottle feedings, diaper changes, nap times, meals/snacks, potty training, indoor and outdoor fun, cleaning, and sticking to a schedule for each individual infant/toddler. The room ratio was 1 adult:4 infants/toddlers, so I was definitely busy (I was mainly with the infants and sometimes toddlers)! I am CPR/First Aid certified, have a Bachelor's degree from Michigan State University, not a smoker, have a reliable car, and up to date on vaccines. All of the positions I've had have been with multiple children at once, so the more the merrier, but one would be great as well! I am looking for a full-time and long-term position in the Chicagoland area. I can't wait to continue my nannying journey with a new family in a new city! I absolutely adore children. I love seeing their smiling faces, watching them grow, and surpassing different milestones! If all goes well after a virtual interview/phone call, I will come to meet you and your family in person, before I move, to make sure everyone is feeling comfortable and confident moving forward! Please message me if you have any questions or want more information - I'm able to send over my resume and references upon request. I'd love to hear from you :)

My degree in education, childcare, and all the necessary first aid qualifications offer a solid foundation to my approach to childcare. I completed my Bachelors of Science in Elementary Education with a Minor is ESL from DePaul University. My aim is to help kids achieve their goals by creating an encouraging learning environment full of interaction— hands-on activities, singing, outdoor explorations, crafts, etc— and positive energy! Although I love to have fun and engage with my kids, safety is my utmost concern and I carefully monitor children during indoor time as well as when I take them on outings to the park or walks around the neighborhood. With strong interpersonal skills, I have the ability to communicate effectively with kids and their guardians. I have 10+ years of childcare experience as I progressed from a babysitter in my early teens, to a part-time nanny, to working full-time in a classroom.

Hello families, My name is Hannah and I have been in the childcare industry for the the past 18 years. My experience began with working as an inclusion aid and camp counselor with the Chicago Park district for over 10 years. I am currently a full-time preschool teacher for the Archdiocese of Chicago and on my free time I enjoy assisting with children's parties , helping busy families manage their households and pairing families and nannies together. Although childcare is my specialty, I enjoy being a companion for seniors. I enjoy helping around the house, running errands and just being a companion.

I am the oldest of seven kids and have extensive experience caring for children from birth to age 13, including helping to raise three of my younger siblings. With a solid background in child care, I'm well-equipped to support families in creating a happy and healthy environment. Let me assist with everyday tasks, so you can focus your time and energy on your family and enjoy more quality moments together.
