Hi - My name is Akie and I'm a music educator and youth development/arts nonprofit professional. I have been babysitting and tutoring since I was 12 years old! I am happy to help with tutoring, running around to sports practices/music lessons, and even give some flute or piano lessons! I am a licensed K-12 music educator. I currently teach early childhood music at Merit School of Music and in home private piano and flute lessons. I also used to be a chef at avec so I am happy to whip up a healthy meal for the kiddos or the whole family! I have been a caretaker for my own parents and grandparents and am comfortable with senior and palliative care.
Hi there! My name is Emily and I am originally from the Quad Cities but have been living in Chicago for the past 2.5 years after graduating from the University of Kansas. I have experience babysitting and part-time nannying children of all ages. During prior jobs I loved coming up with creative activities, going on neighborhood walks, and playing games in the park. I am also comfortable taking care of animals. I grew up with a dog and I have a cat of my own. In my free time I enjoy sailing on Lake Michigan, reading anything from thrillers to memoirs, and painting what ever is inspiring to me in the moment.
Hello my name is Shannon or Shan. During the school year I am a program manager for before and after school programs at a CPS grade school. I work with all ages from Pre K to seventh grade in the program. I have many years experience babysitting for infants and toddlers. My schedule is currently very open for the summer so I have a lot of flexibility. I love all animals, I myself have two cats, and also have several years experience pet sitting, mainly dogs and cats.
Hi there! My name is Nicole, but you can call me Cole. I recently moved back to the area after six years in Dallas, TX. On top of previous nanny experience, I am a first time mom to a 13 month old baby boy. I am CPR certified and well versed in infant first aid. My nannying experience includes, but is not limited to, children ranging from ages 2 through 15, caring for multiple animals (including reptiles), light to moderate housework and organizing, assisting in personal event planning, perfecting homemade cupcakes, and more. I am very passionate about the outdoors, creating learning experiences, and helping cultivate the village it takes to help families thrive. Professionally, after my last nannying position, I worked in the live music production space as an operations coordinator and received my 200HR Pilates instructor certification with an emphasis on classical reformer Pilates. After becoming a mother myself, I made the decision to revisit family and home management as it was plain to see where my compassion resided the most. Ideally, I will work with families who are open to my son (up to date on age appropriate vax) accompanying me on days my husband travels for work. I have an insured, clean, and safe SUV, a clean driving record, and an infant car seat available to use if needed or desired. I am open to family and home care for all ages. Due to allergies, I am limited to households with maximum one cat. Looking forward to meeting you and your family!
Hi, I’m May! I recently moved to Chicago and love working with kids and helping families feel supported. I enjoy creating a safe, fun environment where children feel understood, engaged, and cared for. I have several years of childcare experience from working in preschools to after-school daycares. I am CPR and First Aid certified and confident in handling busy routines, energetic children, and crafts!!

"Caitlin was awesome and jumped right in to chaperone four girls (10, 9, 8 and 6) at a family wedding (they were bridesmaids) and she was very helpful with the event as well as taking them home and putting them to bed."
Lila P., parent

"McKenna was great with our 3 year old son! She came prepared with a box of fun activities and handled playing, dinner, and bedtime seamlessly... and it was all at our hotel while we were in town for a wedding. Thank you McKenna!"
