Loving, Experienced Nanny Returning to Chicago I’m planning my return to Chicago and looking forward to working with a wonderful family in the city. I have over 10 years of professional nanny experience, primarily caring for newborns, infants, and toddlers. I am CPR-trained, college-educated, dependable, punctual, and known for bringing a calm, nurturing, and confident presence into the homes where I work. I am primarily seeking a full-time nanny position within the city of Chicago. Live-in is preferred but not required. I do not drive, so I am looking for a position that does not require driving. I can support your family with: • Newborn, infant, and toddler care • Age-appropriate routines, play, and developmental activities • Bottle preparation and feeding supplies • Children’s laundry and organization • Meal and snack preparation for children • Light child-related housekeeping • Maintaining a safe, organized, and nurturing environment I am comfortable working in homes with cats and can also work in homes with dogs, though I am best suited to households with calmer, well-managed dogs rather than large, highly energetic ones. I have excellent references from former Chicago families, a flexible schedule, and genuinely enjoy caring for young children and supporting their development. If you are looking for an experienced, thoughtful, and dependable nanny, I would be happy to connect and see whether we might be a good fit.

Hi there! I’m an experienced nanny with a genuine passion for helping children learn, grow, and thrive. I’m a kid at heart, so I bring warmth, enthusiasm, creativity, and plenty of energy into every day while creating a safe and nurturing environment. My journey working with children began in 2016 as a special needs swim coach, where I developed the patience, empathy, and adaptability that continue to guide my approach to caring for children today. Since then, I’ve gained experience caring for infants, twins, toddlers, preschool-aged, and elementary-aged children, including nanny share settings and families with multiple young children. I love planning engaging activities that support developmental milestones through reading, outdoor adventures, sensory play, music, and hands-on learning. I’m also proactive, dependable, and enjoy helping families by staying organized and pitching in wherever I can. I’m looking for a family where communication, kindness, and teamwork are valued. My goal is to become a trusted teammate to parents while providing children with a loving, enriching environment where they can feel confident, curious, and deeply cared for.

Hey there parents! I am only available as a date night sitter at this time. I will update this if that changes. I am a super happy, energetic filmmaker and singer living in the Ravenswood area. When I am not watching kiddos, I run a small business playing D&D (Dungeons & Dragons) and other table top role playing games with kids ages 8 to 16 online. I can help with homework, sing songs, play games, cook them dinner, clean up, whatever you need. I am excellent with animals as well: dogs, cats, pigs, birds, you name it! At this time I sit for kids ages 6 months to 17. I have my flu shot, am fully vaccinated and have my own transportation. Thanks so much for your interest and I look forward to hearing from you!

Hi! I’m a senior at Depaul University studying psychology. I work at a Montessori elementary school when I’m home from college. I love watching kids learn and grow and helping them to figure out how to do things by themselves. My favorite ages to work with are infant to 6 years old, but am comfortable with any age group. I’m taking classes in child development to help expand my knowledge and skills. A lot of how I interact with kids is based on the “Montessori method” because that is the setting that I primarily work with and that is how I grew up from ages 4-12. This basically means that I talk to the kid as if they are an adult (using language they understand) and guide them rather than do things for them. I’ve been babysitting since I was in 8th grade in various situations ranging from mother’s helper to being the only adult with the kids for a week while parents were away.

Hello, families! My name is Rebecca and I come with over 30 years of nanny/sitter experience. I've worked with children of every age; fresh from the delivery room, up to high school. The first few years are my favorite, but I love children at every age. I have helped raise over 10 babies. The oldest is now 28 and an amazing human, and friend. I am also celebrating 17 years with a three boy family in Evanston. I live in the north/north/east part of the city and I am hoping to find a family in the area. I'm looking for a fun family that I can help share childcare responsibilities with. I work as a team member and an extension of you. This is a very important relationship that takes communication and care. We need to be on the same page when it comes to routine and guidance/discipline. Consistency is vital if we want to keep children feeling safe and secure. I am extremely flexible when it comes to days and times. I prefer to work no more than four days a week, but I can make occasional exceptions. Let's chat on the phone and see if we feel like setting up an in-person interview. I'll leave you with a few words that describe me: fun, funny, kind, honest, dedicated, silly, firm, open, patient, helpful, and considerate. That's me! If you shoot me a message, I'll send you my phone number and then we can text/call right away. Good luck on your childcare search! Live long and prosper and May The Force be with you, ~Rebecca~
