$30 per hour for 1 child
Booked by 1 family in Skokie, IL

As a nanny with six years of experience, I am confident in my ability to provide excellent care for your children and contribute to your household in a variety of ways. I would love to find a family that needs requiring Friday evening sittings. I would love to help a family unwind from a chaotic week and enter the weekend with well rested children and a clean home. After spending some time playing with the kids and feeding them dinner I will assist your children with their bedtime routine. After the children are asleep I will spend the remaining hours cleaning and tidying the home. I feel it is important for a home to be clean so the family can function as smooth as possible. My passion for seeing children grow into caring, creative, and fun individuals is what drives me to be a nanny. I have been fortunate enough to work with children of varying ages, from infants to pre-teens, throughout my career. In my previous roles, I have always strived to create a sate and nurturing environment for the children in my care, while also encouraging their growth and development through play and educational activities.

“Jackie was great!”

Hello! My name is Talia and I'm currently a sophomore at UIC majoring in Industrial Design. I'm glad to offer child care, senior care, pet care, and household services. I love babysitting and have taken care of my cousins and elderly family for as long as I can remember. I love painting and playing with my younger cousins as well as encouraging them to pursue their passions. My responsibilities included driving to/from school and parks, crafts, tutoring, and even Spanish lessons. I dog walked for over a year and even taught tricks! I've worked as a household/personal assistant before and can cook, clean, organize -- you name it.
