Find nannies in Wilmette, IL

Hello! My name is Natalia, and working with children has always been my true passion. I hold a Master’s degree in Education and have over 17 years of experience helping children learn and grow. For the past four years, I’ve been a Preschool Teacher at a private school in Chicago, where I work with young learners ages 2–4. I’m 43 years old and a proud mom of three (ages 22, 20, and 9). My colleagues and families describe me as warm, dedicated, and reliable. In my free time, I also work as a babysitter, which I truly enjoy — spending time with little ones always brings me joy and positive energy. 💛

Hi, my name is Suzanne! I’m energetic, creative, and patient, with a big heart for kids and the joy they bring. I love making children feel safe, included, and excited to learn and play. For the past three summers I’ve worked as a counselor at a stay-away summer camp where I lived with and cared for kids ages 8–15 for six weeks at a time. Beyond camp and taking care of older kids, I have a lot of experience caring for and babysitting toddlers 13 months and up and love how curious and playful that age is. I bring both structure and fun to every setting whether that means planning crafts, organizing games, or helping with homework. If your kids love video games I can hop into Roblox or Minecraft with them 😆 but I also enjoy screen-free activities like board games, card games, and creative projects. Along with child care I’m terrific at keeping a clean organized home, and I love pets just as much as kids. Growing up with ADHD shaped how I connect with children. I know how important it is to feel accepted and understood, and I make it my mission to ensure every child feels confident and happy being themselves. I also attended a boarding high school for art and creative writing, where I lived year-round. Since I was away from home and living in a dorm, I never needed a license, and now that I live in Chicago I rely on public transportation instead of driving. Sadly I won’t be able to provide transportation for your children.

Hi, I’m Azariah, a twentytwo year old nanny originally from Texas with over six years of childcare experience. I’m CPR certified and have worked with children ages 0–12, including those with behavioral challenges and overnight care. I provide well-rounded care such as meal prep, children’s laundry and dishes, potty training, and structured routines. I do not drive but am reliable and attentive in my role. I’m passionate about child development and love incorporating learning and growth into everyday activities.

I am a grandmother and have watched my two grandchildren in Tennessee for more than 15 years. Recently I have moved to the Chicago area so I could help with my grandchildren here. They are ages 3 and 10. I have also helped out friends and family with their dogs while they are on vacation.

Hi parents! I’m Ashton, the oldest of seven, so caregiving has always come naturally to me. Growing up, I was the built-in “little parent,” and that early experience sparked my passion for working with children. I’m currently completing my undergraduate degree in Human Development and Learning and preparing to begin my path toward becoming an Occupational Therapist. I also work as a paraprofessional at Easterseals, where I support children with ASD, IDD, and a wide range of developmental needs. This role has strengthened my patience, creativity, and ability to adapt to each child’s unique communication and learning style. Outside of school and work, I’ve spent years providing babysitting and dog-sitting for families, neighbors, and of course my own siblings. Whether it’s helping with routines, engaging in sensory-friendly play, or simply creating a safe and fun environment, I truly enjoy being part of a child’s day. I love games, dance parties, karaoke, arts & crafts, and tackling big puzzles, anything that helps kids explore, grow, and have fun. Parents tell me I bring calm energy, responsibility, and genuine connection to the kids I care for. I’d love to support your family in whatever way you need; whether it’s childcare, homework help, structured play, or a reliable extra set of hands. Looking forward to meeting you!
