Hello! I'm Rachael :) I'm a teacher so I'm available evenings/days off school! Also looking for a summer 2026 nanny job! About my childcare background: I have a degree in education and I currently work in a school reading and math intervention. I've previously worked as a nanny for several years and I have lots of experience with childcare. About me: In addition to my teaching job, I also work as a tour guide. When I'm not working, I have several hobbies such as classical music (I'm a violinist), sewing, and cooking. I love animals too! Please let me know if there is any illness in the home before I arrive. I work several jobs and even a slight illness can significantly affect my ability to make a living. An illness isn't an automatic "no" but I need to be able to assess the situation before I am exposed. Of course, I will extend the same courtesy to you and your family and will always be up front about any symptoms I may be experiencing as well. The safety of your children/family/pets is a top priority for me. Got my latest covid/flu shots September 2025! Tdap vaccine January 2025 No allergies

Hi there! My name is Emily and I am currently a student at Northeastern Illinois University! I am an undergrad student specializing in social work while working as a part-time sitter/house manager. I love children and have always found my way into many children’s hearts. I have previous baby sitting experience as well as years experience working with the Chicago Park District as recreational leader for their play camp program that gave me the opportunity to work alongside 20 amazing children from the ages of 4-5 in the community. Being a camper myself when I was younger I learned the importance of having the people around children teaching them values and Influencing them in the right ways. I am a very creative person in my free time and always like to have a good time! Arts and crafts are a speciality of mine! Plus knowing about the latest toys for the kiddos!

Booked by 13 families in Oak Park, IL

Hi, I'm Cece (short for Mareecia)! I'm a babysitter, nanny, and tutor with over 8 years of experience, combining structured learning with warmth and creativity. I'm open to all ages, though I'm most comfortable and experienced with children ages 2-10. My experience spans from summer camp counseling (ages 1-10) to remote tutoring in reading, writing, and study skills (ages 6-12). I offer more than just childcare: I'm a tutor + nanny in one, providing homework help, engaging activities, and a calm, positive routine to support your child's growth. Beyond caregiving, I bring a high level of professionalism and reliability from my corporate background at JPMorgan and Accenture. I'm also a writer, creator, and outdoor enthusiast who enjoys hiking and snowboarding. Currently, I'm learning Spanish, Italian, and French. Top Skills: Structured Routines: Skilled at creating calm, predictable schedules. Positive Engagement: Using redirection and enthusiasm to create a great environment. Academic Support: Expert in reading/writing for ages 6-12. I'm passionate about making a difference in children's lives and would love to connect with your family!

“CeCe is on it! She arrived ready to play with the girls (6 and 3). She asked for emergency contact info and then took the girls to the park as my husband and I made our way out. The girls had a fun night with her. There were no issues with the bedtime routine. They want her back for sure!”
