Hey there parents! I am only available as a part time/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!

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!

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.

Hi, I’m Valerie — a caregiver with over 25 years of professional childcare experience, offering calm, attentive, and emotionally intelligent care for children and families. I currently run a childcare program for children ages infant–6 years at Lakeview Presbyterian Church in Lakeview and am an educator with Irving Park Homeschool Group. My work centers on creating safe, nurturing, and thoughtfully structured environments where children feel secure, respected, and genuinely cared for. My approach is rooted in conscious parenting principles: emotional attunement, respectful communication, clear and loving boundaries, and supporting children’s nervous systems so they feel safe to explore, learn, and grow. I pay close attention not only to physical safety, but also to children’s emotional and psychological well-being — the details that truly set high-quality care apart. In my personal life, I’m a homeschooling mother of two pre-teens and an organizer of educational experiences for a homeschool community of approximately 60 families. Managing group dynamics, individual needs, and smooth transitions is second nature to me. I have extensive experience with infants and toddlers bringing a grounded, confident presence to those tender early years. I also enjoy incorporating creative projects, imaginative play, and hands-on learning into the day in a way that feels natural and fun. I’m also very comfortable in homes with pets and consider furry family members an extra bonus. Families who work with me are typically looking for reliable, thoughtful, high-trust care and value experience, professionalism, and emotional intelligence. If that sounds like what you’re seeking, I’d love to connect. Warmly, Valerie
