Hello, families! My name is Cristina, and I am a professional nanny and house manager with over 20 years of experience caring for infants, toddlers, and older children throughout Chicago and the surrounding suburbs. I am responsible, calm, trustworthy, and caring, and I truly enjoy working with children. I love spending time outdoors, reading, playing sports, and cooking. When the weather is nice, I enjoy taking children on walks, visiting parks, and planning other age-appropriate outings. I also organize engaging indoor activities such as reading, arts and crafts, puzzles, Legos, and preparing healthy, kid-friendly meals together. As a mother of two older boys, I understand how important it is to find someone who will make your children feel safe, loved, and well cared for. In addition to childcare, I have experience as a house manager and can assist with children’s laundry, meal preparation, grocery shopping, organizing, running errands, keeping children’s areas tidy, scheduling appointments and activities, and handling other household tasks that help the home run smoothly.

Hello! My name is Katie, and I’ve been a professional caregiver since 2016. I have extensive experience caring for children from newborns to 13 years old, and I truly love helping kids learn, grow, and have fun in a safe, nurturing environment. I’m comfortable managing groups of all sizes—the largest number of children I’ve supervised alone is six, but I also served as Co-Director of a Child Outreach Program that supported 60–80 kids at a time. These experiences have strengthened my skills in organization, communication, and flexibility while keeping things calm and upbeat. I also have overnight experience through Maryville Crisis Nursery, and am trained in sleep training and crisis response including CPR and First-Aid as well as ServeSafe (food prep). In addition to childcare, I also have experience providing pet care and senior care. Whether it’s feeding, walking, or administering medications for pets, or offering compassionate companionship and daily assistance for seniors, I approach every role with patience, reliability, and respect. Families and clients describe me as dependable, caring, and adaptable. I take pride in creating an environment—whether for children, pets, or older adults—where everyone feels comfortable and cared for. I truly enjoy helping others and would be thrilled to bring that care and energy to your family.
