I value creating a safe, structured, and supportive environment where children can feel comfortable and confident. I’m patient, and attentive, and I take safety very seriously while also making sure kids feel seen and cared for.

As a single mother, I’ve had such a wonderful experience with Ruth. She strikes the perfect balance of being warm and caring while still maintaining gentle structure and boundaries—something that’s so important with toddlers. My little one absolutely adores her. She’s consistently on time, incredibly reliable, and always proactive when it comes to scheduling, which makes everything so much easier for me. It’s clear she genuinely cares, and I feel completely at ease knowing my child is in her hands. I highly recommend Ruth to any family looking for a trustworthy, nurturing babysitter.

I am a full-time nanny living in Chicago and I also provide babysitting services on occasion. I have been helping with childcare for my family since I was 12 years old, as the eldest of five children, three of whom are active boys. I have always enjoyed watching over children and creating a fun, safe environment for my charges. I have experience with infants, toddlers and preschool children, particularly preschool as I was an assistant Sunday school teacher for my church for six years. I also did one summer as a camp counselor for a sleep-away camp, which put me in charge of 4-8 kids 22/7. Some of my favorite activities are reading, drama and games. Generally I am a fun, easygoing sitter who enjoys playing games with the kids and making sure they have what they need. I tend to be very calm and even tempered, which helps me keep up with high-energy kids.

I only recently met Sarah at an interview to be our nanny, but I was blown away immediately by how well she interacted with our toddler and infant girls. It didnt't work out for us, because of the commute, but she was up front immediately about her concern, and was so professional. She is so kind that she even offered to help us network. Thank you, Sarah, for your kindness, honesty, and extraordinary willingness to help our family! -Kate and Dan

Up to date on vaccines and CPR training. Willing to show proof. Available for daycare in my smoke-free, safety conscious home in Niles. I am available Monday through Friday 8a-4p. I choose to keep my daycare small for quality of care, cleanliness, and focused learning through play. At this time, I have a 1:2 adult to child ratio with one spot available. My home has every gate and I would love to give you a tour! I have owned and operated my home daycare in Niles since 2021. Worked as a Professional Nanny/Personal Assistant in the North Shore for the previous 10 years. Worked as a Professional Nanny for 10 years prior in Lincoln Park. Completed a Level 3 Credential in a Child Development program through the State in 2018. As a Daycare Provider I love to plan constructive activities, arts and crafts projects, backyard adventures- both fun and educational. Enjoy teaching a variety of subjects including reading, math, and milestone learning. Milestone learning programs are specifically customized and depend on the child’s age, personal growth, and development. My plethora of references can attest to the way children connect and feel comfortable with me. I hope to hear from you!

Susanna has been a wonderful caregiver for our son, providing a nurturing and safe environment at her home day care. We worked with Susanna from Sept 2022 to Dec 2023, from the time our son was 3 months until 15 months. Susanna has shown genuine care and attention to our little one. Her commitment to creating a stimulating and loving atmosphere has played a significant role in our son's early development. We appreciate her patience, communication, and the personal touch she adds to her care. We are grateful for Susanna's positive impact on our child's early years.

Zaina H.
- 7 years paid experience

Hello and thank you for taking the time to get to know me! My name is Zaina, and I’m an experienced, nurturing, and dedicated childcare provider with a true passion for supporting children’s growth and development. My journey in early childhood education began in high school, where I completed a certified Early Childhood Education program. This foundational experience sparked my love for working with children and led me to begin babysitting and nannying for families with children ranging from infants to 12 years old. Over the years, I’ve worked in a wide variety of childcare settings, including homes, preschools, and after-school programs. I spent three years as an educator and program manager at an elementary school, where I created and implemented engaging daily lesson plans and activities tailored to each child's needs. My approach blends structure with creativity to foster a safe, fun, and educational environment. I’m also experienced in household management and understand how to keep a home running smoothly while ensuring children are happy and well cared for. Currently, I’m pursuing a degree in nursing, which has further deepened my knowledge of child health and development. I’m certified in both infant and child CPR and BLS (Basic Life Support), and I bring a calm, attentive presence to every role I take on. In my spare time, I enjoy reading, staying active, and continuously learning new ways to better support the children in my care. I would love the opportunity to bring my experience, energy, and dedication to a family who values compassionate, reliable care.

Zaina nannied for my 1-2 year old son and was exceptional addition to our family. She truly does her job with love and passion and made my son her top priority. she was very accommodating when we needed last minute changes or help which she didn't need to do but always wanted to help and make our lives easier. She took my son to the park and library, fed him, changed him. I loved how she incorporated education and development in his daily life which is a plus with her background. Always made sure to clean after him. She has me and my husband top recommendation, we felt very comfortable and trusting with her!
