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-12p, for weekly guaranteed hours or as needed basis. 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. Please reach out for an application. I hope to hear from you!

I have many years of experience with children in a wide range of settings, including many years of babysitting for families in their homes, working as a summer camp counselor, as an assistant teacher in a daycare, and volunteering in two elementary schools. I raised my own son and I occasionally watch my 4 and 6 year old grandsons. In the past year and a half I have watched a 2.5 year old boy, an infant girl from age 3 to 6 months, a baby boy from 7 to 10 months, and an 8 year old girl. I completed a pediatric first aid and CPR class in November 2023. When I am watching children I do not use my cell phone (other than in case of emergency or if I need to schedule an appointment) as I want to give the kids my undivided attention. I especially enjoy reading to children, doing art projects together, and taking nature walks. I am very energetic, and on days when I am not babysitting, I typically take 4 - 5 mile walks along the lake. I am very happy to provide professional and personal references. Among the parents from whom I can provide references are a neonatologist, a professor of psychology, a nurse, and an elementary schoolteacher. As a caregiver, I am highly reliable, kind, warm, and fun. I love both kids and dogs. My schedule is typically very flexible, and I can often make myself available for last-minute requests. Thank you. Rosanne

I was a full time nanny for seven years for a wonderful family here in Chicago. They had three children and during my time with them the kids were ages newborn - ten years old. During that time I also babysat for dozens of other Chicago families. I genuinely enjoy the company of children! I have moved on to a career in HR, but I am always looking to make connections with new families through evening and weekend sitting. Always willing to try and accommodate short notice requests!

Hi! My name is Isabella Wergin, I am a recent graduate of Loyola Chicago living in Lakeview. I’m looking for a consistent position and a willing to start as soon as possible. I’ve nannied/ babysat for a variety of families over the past 8 years, therefore I have experience with various ages and needs. I love to facilitate creative activities that allow for use of imagination and learning. Two summers ago, I was a camp counselor at an overnight summer camp in Maine, where I was a bunk counselor and instructed tennis to children ages 4-17. This opportunity expanded my understanding in how to best engage all age groups in activities. Looking forward to meeting you!

I live in Rogers Park and have 10+ years of experience caring for kids of all ages. My passion is for storytelling and I have my MFA in Writing for the Screen + Stage from Northwestern, where I have taught screenwriting courses. I'm good at engaging kids' imaginations and letting them lead. While working on my artistic projects, I have held a part time or full-time childcare job for the last 10 years. In 2018, I was the Co-Director of Steve & Kate's Summer Camp. From 2018- present, I have been a nanny for different families in Rogers Park where I live. I prefer to work close to home, but am open to anywhere off the red line. I also have extensive experience in house cleaning, home organizing, pet care, tutoring for reading / writing, and more! I'm a team player who wants to make life easier for your family, so I'm flexible in meeting your needs. My most recent job involved being a House Manager for a family of 3. I have plenty of references from families I've worked with that I'm happy to pass along. I do not drive, but I can access most places by public transit and ride share. I'm currently looking for both PT and FT gigs. Hope to talk with you soon!
