Kevin $20 per hour for 1 child

Hello! My name is Kevin and I am a newcomer when it comes to nannying. I graduated from DePaul University (2019) with a Bachelors in Communications Studies. I live in Chicago but work in Deerfield. I have also done several dog walks and house sitting on Rover for several years. If I'm not at home, I love to shop or run/work out! The only experience I have with children is as a Sunday school teacher for about a year

Natalie $19 per hour for 1 child

Hi! I’m a student at the University of Illinois Urbana-Champaign with experience in both childcare and pet care. I’ve been tutoring and babysitting since my freshman year of high school and have worked with youth programs, where I learned to create a safe, structured, and engaging environment for kids. I also have experience caring for pets and enjoy providing reliable care including walks, feeding, playtime, and companionship while maintaining their routines. I’m responsible, patient, and easy to communicate with, and I take pride in being dependable and attentive. With a background in lifeguarding, also serving in the national guard, I’m very safety-focused and calm in any situation. My goal is to give families peace of mind knowing their children and pets are well cared for.

Serena $25 per hour for 1 child

Hi, I’m Serena! I’ve been the designated babysitter for my little cousins for as long as I can remember. As the youngest of three with two older brothers, I’ve always enjoyed being around children and caring for others. I’m also a nurse with experience working with all age groups, from newborns to adults. I’m responsible, patient, attentive, and calm under pressure, with a strong understanding of safety and care. I love keeping kids engaged through play, activities, and making sure they feel comfortable and cared for. I’m excited to bring my experience and caring personality to every family I work with!
