I have well over 25 years of professional Nanny/House Managing/Personal Assistant experience, in addition a to Pre-School teaching and Pre-School swim instruction background. I also have In-Home Day Care experience at my Westchester residence. I have a Child Development/Psychology background. I have an extensive medical background/CPR trained and can handle children with special needs. Kids respond to me because I am patient, outgoing, fun-loving and try to relate to them at their level. I also try to make every day a fun learning experience. I am not afraid to get my hands dirty. In the summer you can find me on the ground catching insects, teaching the children how to fish, or catching bullfrogs/ turtles to study (catch and release). I am a big nature-lover. I am an avid fisher-woman, excellent swimmer and horseback-rider. My hobby is training/entering my German Shepherd Dogs in Obedience/Conformation Competition). My previous 14 year old female Lexxi, was a UKC Champion, who held 5 titles and 44 awards. She also did therapy work. I’ve also owned cats, ferrets, guinea pigs, rabbits, and a cockatiel named SpongeBob! Although I am no "spring chicken" so to speak, don’t let my age deter you. I am high energy and fit, working 50-60 hours a week caring for children. On the weekends, when I’m not working, you’ll find me running around the dog show ring, or practicing agility. My current 7 month old Kasha, is working on her AKC obedience titles. She has some big paws to fill! I have a Law Enforcement/Animal Control Officer, a Medical/ Medical Computer Systems background and have also worked in the Corporate world. All of those jobs I really enjoyed. But I’m completely happy and comfortable in a private/domestic setting taking care of children and managing a household. I excel at ensuring that the household is running smoothly, and I like putting my excellent organizational skills to work. It is a very gratifying experience for me. To be successful, there needs to be teamwork and open communication. I’m a firm believer in consistency and structure... I’m professional, comical, considerate of others, a bit of a neat freak and a little bit of a workaholic; and 100% dependable! I am also a parent, although my daughter is much, much older. I’m a long time Sittercity member. I recently left my Nanny position of over 8 years in River Forest. Thank you for your time. I look forward to hearing from you!

Sheila is a great cat sitter and a great lady. She very clearly loves animals, as you can tell from her bio. She was very conscientious about maintaining a consistent feeding schedule and interacting with my cat. She texted me with an update after every visit. I will definitely hire her again.

Hi ! I'm a single mother to my daughter who just graduated from the Physician Assistant program at Marquette. Proud Mom here! I have over 20 years of babysitting and caregiving experience and am currently certified in Basic Life Support and First Aid. I grew up working at my mother's daycare center, where my passion for working with children bloomed. Over the years, I've volunteered in my church's nursery, taught Sunday school for Pre-K and Kindergarten, and cared for my daughter/nieces/nephews, as well as babysitting for friends and neighbors. I started my career as a professional caregiver over 10 years ago, so I have experience with anyone from infants to teenagers to the elderly. For the past few years, I have worked as a medical assistant in a variety of healthcare settings. To me, caring for children is very rewarding and I love what I do. In my free time, I enjoy spending time with my family and my friends I am comfortable with pets. I have a reliable car and am able to help with homework, mealtimes, and light housekeeping. I value safe and fun experiences and love to incorporate learning into play and everyday activities. I Love making each day fun and kids smile. I'm a smiley bubbly positive person myself. I'd love to learn more about the ways I can specifically serve you and your family!

Gina started with our daughter when she was three months old and worked with us to find a great routine that has allowed our baby to thrive. Our daughter has gone through eczema flare ups, multiple formula changes and poor napping; Gina has been so loving, kind and took all of our directions really well. Our daughter, who is now nine months, always laughs and gets excited when she sees her at the door. Gina has been incredibly playful, creative and attentive to all of our daughter's needs (nap schedule, bottle feeding, diaper changes and milestone activities). We've felt so lucky to have her, and she has lifted a huge weight off my shoulders post-partum. I can’t recommend her enough.

With over 25 years of childcare experience, I truly love helping children learn, grow, and thrive. I have cared for children from newborns through teenagers and have experience supporting every stage of development. I am dependable, caring, patient, and looking to build a long-term relationship with a family. My most recent childcare position lasted 14 years, which reflects the commitment and trust I bring to the families I work with. I have my own reliable vehicle and can help with school and activity drop-offs and pickups. I’m also happy to assist with child-related household tasks such as children’s laundry, lunch preparation, organizing, and tidying up, as well as occasional family errands. I especially enjoy helping little ones reach important milestones, including potty training, self-feeding, establishing nap routines, and developing communication skills. I believe children thrive when they have a balance of structure, learning, play, and fun. I enjoy taking children to age-appropriate activities such as libraries, museums, parks, and other local outings to keep their days active and engaging. I’m looking for a family where I can become a trusted and dependable part of their support system. I am available to start immediately and would love the opportunity to get to know your family.

We were so lucky to have Rasa care for our children. She became someone we trusted completely. She was dependable, caring, and always willing to help wherever she was needed. She didn't just watch our kids—she really got to know them. She took them to activities, parks, libraries, and museums, and made sure they were engaged and having fun. Having someone care for your children is a huge decision, and we always had complete peace of mind knowing they were with her. She was incredibly reliable and I would highly recommend her to anyone.

I’m a reliable, nurturing, and dedicated nanny with over 10 years of hands-on childcare experience. I’ve worked with children of all ages, including infants, and truly love creating a safe, engaging, and loving environment where kids can grow and feel understood. I take pride in making everyday moments special—whether that’s planning fun outdoor activities, crafts, or simply being present and attentive to each child’s unique needs. My current long-term position is coming to an end as the youngest child is starting kindergarten, and I’m now looking for a full-time summer role with the hope of continuing into a long-term position with the right family. I value strong communication, mutual respect, and becoming a supportive, dependable part of a family’s daily life. I love being outside, staying active, and encouraging creativity and curiosity in children. I can also provide strong references from families I’ve worked closely with over the years. I’m reliable, nurturing, and genuinely love being around kids. Whether it’s arts and crafts, outdoor adventures, or playdates, I try to make the most out of each experience. I’m also comfortable with light housekeeping related to the kids, and managing routines/activities. If you’re looking for someone dependable and experienced to jump in a few days a week this summer, I’d love to connect!!! ☺️☀️
