Find experienced child care providers in Elmhurst, IL

Hi there! For as long as I can remember, working with children has forever been a part of me. Before covid, I was a special needs swim instructor for 4 years and this was the beginning of my journey. Since then, I have been a nanny for 3 families - each had a year contract. I am experienced in infant care as well as special needs, multiples, and twins. I used to be a lifeguard trainer so I have knowledge in cpr and first aid and I am certified. I recently became a person trainer and have proof of CPR certification upon request. I have scored “expert” in early childhood development assessments. Lastly, I am a kid at heart, so I’ll love any opportunity to help a family that I can be a part of :)

Hello awesome families, I am currently looking for evenings and weekend work, I have extensive experience with infants up to school age. I am a mother of six adult children and eight grandchildren. I currently work as a full time Nanny in the Gold Coast area, before that I did a nanny share in Logan Square. I've also worked as a Lead infant / toddler teacher in the West loop area I also work as a part-time Babysitter and have provided services for so many families throughout Chicago land. I have worked with children for 25 plus years Infants to School age. I have attended Harold Washington College and Malcolm X College and studied in Early child development including infant toddler care. I love working with children and been part of their lives and introducing them to new and fun experiences, I love reading to them and encouraging them to use their imaginations. I enjoy been outdoors enjoying nature and its sounds. I am Cpr and First aid certified in Infant, child, and adult and have all required immunizations to work with children of all ages. When I have free time, I like to visit museums and take long walks and take pictures, I enjoy arts and crafts activities, it's messy but fun. I enjoy providing a service for busy families who just needs a extra pair of hands around. I also worked in a preschool setting in which i provided age-appropriate activities for children as well as provide a safe learning environment. I also have 20plus years as a classroom teacher before becoming a full-time nanny in which i have work as for 7 years and counting.

I have been a stay at home Mom for our boy's entire lives. They are now grown men, and I have become a Grandma. I really enjoy care giving whether for the very young or the elderly. I am a Christian, non smoking, first aid trained, very experienced babysitter. I have been a nanny for ten years. I have my own transportation, and can provide pick up after school. I am very reliable, punctual and flexible if needs arise. I am also a Stephen Minister with even more training in care and communication. Please allow me to give fun and careful care in your absence, so that you may be able to rest easy and not be concerned about the home front while you are away. I can be available M-F in your home. Currently, looking for a part time Nanny position for the 26/27 school year. I enjoyed giving care to a four and five year old active brothers during the 17/18, 18/19, 19/20, 20/21, and 21/22 school years. At that point they no longer needed after school care. This involved transportation to/from the grade school as well as transportation to/from the preK where the four year old was enrolled daily. We had a lot of fun together. In (2016-17) I cared for 2 elementary age sisters before and after school. Since their Mom is a teacher, she is home with them for the summer. The school year before that (15/16), I worked for a family with a 4th grade daughter and a 7th grade son. I have enjoyed becoming a part of their family. I am finding that I am in need of more than the 10.5 hours this dear family can give me. The previous year (14/15), I enjoyed caring for a 5th grade boy. The following fall he was being bused to his Jr. high and no longer needed a caregiver as he had older siblings. Would love to hear from you ASAP if you are in need of reliable, on time, transportation provider, and nurturing care giving for your children after school in the 203 Naperville district. My neighborhood elementary school is Steeple Run, so that is obviously my preference. Would prefer to stay in District 203.

For as long as I can remember, I've enjoyed working with children. I've been a nanny for this wonderful family living in Chicago. These past two years working with their little boy I will always cherish. I already miss being able to see his sweet face every day. They were incredibly understanding that I was ready for a change in my life. I decided to make the move to California. It turns out I will be coming back to Chicago sooner than expected. I'm glad I gave Los Angeles a chance but my heart is in another place. Between the unsettling cost of living and all the natural disasters, I've come to terms with the fact that it's just not where I want to be. I'm so fortunate to have a job I truly enjoy and look forward to each day. Every day is full of smiles, love and laughter. Prior to nannying, I worked in Early Childhood at the JCC (Jewish Community Center) as a preschool teacher for 3 years. One of the best parts was getting to spark a child's curiosity while exploring all the wonders this world has to offer in a multitude of different ways. Being able to foster a child's growth and development at such a young age is incredible. The best thing about being a nanny is all the love you receive each day. It is so rewarding to build that special bond with a child. My last nanny kid was 3.5 years old. I have experience with all age groups; ranging from infants to 6 with 1-2 years of infant experience. I worked in the infant room for a year and also nannied for a friends baby girl while she went to school. Patience really is a virtue and that is one thing I have plenty of. My optimism and easy going attitude enables me to build and sustain positive relationships. I will have a full-time job working as a nanny during the weekdays but I will be available Friday nights, Saturday and Sunday if you're looking for a reliable babysitter.

Hi! I have been a nanny for over 6 years and a mother for two years, with experience in newborn care, overnights, and multiple children. Safety, effective communication and trust are my top priorities as a nanny, as well as giving love, affection and consistency to every child I care for. I am CPR/First Aid certified, speak basic Spanish, and come with excellent references.

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!!! ☺️☀️

Hi, I'm Natasha, a 23-year-old Chicago transplant (by way of New York and Colorado) with a genuine love for kids and a lot of experience caring for them. I currently work as a Teaching Assistant at Sacred Heart, where I help look after a classroom full of little ones every day. Wrangling a group of preschoolers has taught me a lot --- from how to keep kids engaged and having fun through crafts, games, and activities, to staying calm and attentive when everyone needs something at once. I love finding creative ways to make the day exciting for kids and am always ready with a backup plan when one activity runs its course! Beyond my work at Sacred Heart, I also have experience with middle and high school aged kids through tutoring, mentoring, and volunteering with community organizations around the Chicago area. I'm comfortable adapting to different ages, energy levels, and needs. I'm CPR and First Aid certified, patient, creative, and genuinely enthusiastic about spending time with kids. Whether we're doing a craft project, playing outside, reading stories, or just hanging out, I show up fully present and ready to make it a great experience. I'd love to connect and learn more about what you're looking for!
