Hi! I’m Alexandra, and I am a senior nursing major at Saint Louis University! I currently work as a student nursing extern at a Pediatric Emergency Department and I’ve always loved working with kids—it’s such a joy to be part of their world. Whether it’s helping with homework, playing games, or just being a fun and safe presence, I love being a sitter because every day is different and meaningful. I have several years of experience babysitting for families with kids of all ages, from infants to preteens since I was in high school. I’m trained in CPR and first aid, and I always make safety my top priority. I’m also super organized, responsible, and love coming up with activities that keep kids engaged and happy—whether it’s crafts, outdoor play, or quiet time with books. If you’re looking for someone who’s reliable, fun, and genuinely cares about your kids, I’d love to be your sitter!

Hello, my name is Brittany. The struggle of finding the balance between parenting and working is no easy feat! I am a reliable and sweet nanny located in Palatine, Illinois. Children have always been a large part of my work history and they are what have made my previous jobs so much more rewarding for me. I graduated with honors from Northeastern Illinois University with a degree in Psychology and a concentration in Abnormal and Child Development. Children are our future leaders, doctors, teachers, lawyers, and parents. Their little spirits are so important to the world! Some of my experience includes working in the children's literature section of a library. We ran programs such as the Reading Patch club. Reading is such an integral part of brain development and vital for integrating rich imagination! Other experience comes from the 15 years I worked in the service industry. 13 of those years were working at Red Robin, which seems to be every kids favorite restaurant and I don't blame them! I would dress up as our restaurant Mascot, a giant bird suit, and go around giving "autographs" to every table that had a child. I've dealt with every picky eater you can imagine. Sick kids. And every allergy. As the shift leader and head learning coach of my front of house serving and host staff, it was my sole responsibility to make sure everyone was fully trained in the appropriate safety measures when placing orders for clientele with food sensitivities and severe allergies such as peanut and shellfish. I've calmed children down from tantrums to ending the meal laughing with gracious parents thanking me for my patience to then becoming my regulars where I was able to watch some of these kids grow into adulthood! The pandemic hit the service industry the hardest and during our country's down time I babysat for various families with duties ranging from meal prep including gluten free cooking, to outdoor adventures. Other important activities included homework (I have previously tutored and enjoy teaching), disney movie sing-a-longs, bedtime stories, and so many Lego builds! I am excited to help ease your stress in any way I can while creating a fun and safe environment for your little ones! I offer full-time and part-time live-out nanny services. I am very open to any specific needs your child has as well as to the days and hours you need to make your life easier! Feel free to message me by phone or email any time of the day. I look forward to hearing from you!

Hi! My name is Brooke Heise. Over the years I have worked at summer camps and always been around kids! I also have a younger brother, 5 1/2 years younger then I am! I am a very king, prayerful, energetic person who enjoys being outdoors!

I have been working with children my whole life, as well as raising two children of my own. I have a BS in psychology/child development from U of I, and have been a nanny, preschool teacher, child development specialist, and director of a preschool. I can’t imagine a more rewarding field. I look forward to meeting you and your little ones! *Please note: Due to an immunocompromised family member, I am unable to provide sick care. Your transparency with any illness in the household is important. Thank you!

Hello.  I have been in the childcare field for over 28 years specializing in providing the best care for your child/children while parents are working and/or attending school.  I provide "hands-on" and nuture as I feel this is very important.  I have specialized training in the fields of asthma, special needs, child abuse, sexual abuse, cpr/first aid certification as well as Child Development.  I work with children who have speech impairments, learning disabilities as well as teaching pre-school for chidren getting ready for kindergarden. I provide transportation to schools - District 3 (Beach Park Schools) and District 6 (Zion Schools) if needed.  I provide back-up care, sick care as well as vacation/summer care.  Nothing is more rewarding then having one of your daycare children comeup to you at the end of the day and say "I love you Miss Jan - your the best" with a hug/kiss.  It makes my job so rewarding.  I have had children from newborn to middle school who often bring up things that had happened (potty training, that special birthday party, stickers for good deeds) which often makes me feel that all my work has made this child excel in life and its a wonderful feeling.

To whom it may concern I am writing to express my interest in the position of Nanny. I understand from your ad you are looking for an experienced, qualified, and caring nanny. I meet all your listed requirements and believe would make a good nanny. I have years of experience as a nanny for two families. In addition to two full-time nanny positions, I have worked as a preschool and daycare teacher with children from infants to 4 and 5 years old. I love children and enjoy their company immensely and find nothing is more rewarding than taking care of them. I believe in creating a positive, happy environment for children, one in which they feel protected and can thrive. I have good organizational and communication skills, which I believe are among the most important skills for a nanny. I completed a CPR and First Aid training . I believe such knowledge is important and can be a life saver. I am deeply interested in working for you, and hope you will give me a chance to meet you in person to discuss my candidacy in detail. By the way, my last nanny job was for a wonderful family in Glencoe . I stayed with them for six and a half years. Dorota Zukowski

Hi! My name is Danni Alvarez, I am 29 years old and I have been worked with children for the last 10 years. With over ten years of experience nurturing, guiding, and educating children—as a nanny, day camp counselor, and most recently a lead teacher at Champions—I’ve developed a deep passion for creating warm, engaging, and supportive environments where children thrive. Throughout my career, I’ve had the privilege of working with kids of various ages and backgrounds. Whether leading a classroom, planning enriching activities, or supporting a child one-on-one, I strive to foster curiosity, confidence, and kindness. I also speak Spanish fluently and have had experience teaching that to babies and toddlers! My time at Champions especially strengthened my skills in classroom management, curriculum planning, and collaborative teamwork with fellow educators and families. What I love most about working with children is seeing the world through their eyes—the joy in small discoveries, the power of encouragement, and the importance of consistency and care. I bring patience, creativity, and genuine enthusiasm to every role, and I’m excited about the possibility of contributing to your family! Thank you for considering my application.
