Oriannie $26 per hour for 1 child

Hello ✨my name is Oriannie. I am currently seeking a position as a nanny, a role I truly carry out with love, patience, and dedication. I genuinely enjoy caring for children, supporting their development, and creating a safe, happy, and nurturing environment for them and their families. I am a responsible, caring, and trustworthy person with experience providing quality childcare. I am currently available and very interested in a full-time position. I have attached my resume and would be happy to connect with any family looking for someone they can truly trust. I am a registered nurse, and my credentials have been officially recognized (validated) in the United States; therefore, I do not need a separate CPR certification. I would be happy to provide copies of my academic transcripts and other documentation. Yes, I drive to work. I take full responsibility for the baby's care; my duties include preparing meals and handling everything related to the baby, such as light housekeeping and facilitating routines that support their development. I can provide references from families I have worked with previously. Spanish is my native language, though this has never been an obstacle to my work. I hold a valid work permit for the United States ✨✨💗

Booked by 1 family in Park Forest, IL

Hi! My name is Amanda and I am looking for fun, sweet, loving families to babysit on the weekends! I am currently a full time nanny but looking to pick up extra hours on the weekend :) I have my degree in early childhood education as well as many years providing care for children ages 2 months to 12 years! My passion is and will always be caring for children and I cannot wait to have my own children to love on some day! I can’t wait to connect and to tell you more about me as well as learn about you and your family!!

“Amanda did an amazing job. She was in charge of our little one at our wedding. She made sure our daughter was fed, clean and having a great time. Our daughter was able to keep her routine on this day all because of Amanda. Our daughter had an instant connection with her and it really showed. I could not have booked a better nanny for our special day. All night everyone kept coming up to me letting me know how great Amanda was. We cannot thank her enough for her patience and professionalism.”

Michelle $18 per hour for 1 child

Hi! I’m Michelle, a responsible and dependable college student who enjoys working with children. My childcare experience comes from helping care for my younger brother and babysitting for family friends, where I’ve learned the importance of creating a safe, fun, and supportive environment. I graduated as my high school’s valedictorian and am happy to help with homework and learning activities. I’m also involved with Northwestern University’s Supplies for Dreams, an organization that supports Chicago Public Schools through school supply drives, field trips, and one-on-one student mentorship. Whether it’s playing games, reading stories, or sticking to your family’s routine, I’ll make sure your children are well cared for and engaged.
