Find experienced nannies in Chicago, IL

Hello Chicago parents ! I’m Kaela and I’m 28 years old and I am a Senior at Columbia College studying filmmaking in various technical aspects and YES am fully COVID VACCINNATED and TRIPLE BOOSTED w PFIZER! I have larger history in childcare prior to my move to Chicago in 2021 where I worked through the pandemic in a reputable houseless shelter in Seattle called Mary’s Place. Prior to the pandemic my experience jumping off nannying since my teens turned into au pairing in France for 2 years as well as tutoring in English. Ryther Child Center in Seattle was one of the last inpatient facilities catering to theee kids before I unfortunately saw it’s decline due to lack of care and attention by the local government for these kiddos- I was furious for them to say the least. Through this job I was certified in trauma informed care and de-escalation to prevent these kids from harming themselves and other kids and adults around them. As I mentioned I was an au pair and I lived in north France near Mt Jura and then moved down to Nice and continuing tutoring and continued school in French literature with my visa extension. So I speak French as well as English. My passions are playing music, writing and generally picking up a camera or sound equiptment and making something beautiful. My childcare philosophy is very play-based and explorative, I don't believe in punishment by shaming and comparing their behaviors to any orher “standards”. I am definitely neurodiverse and very proud of that. My goal is when a child is not doing a desired task or refusing to, I like to get in there head and keep a flat and factual affect so that the child may think for themselves and learn their own boundaries that work for them and I will adapt accordingly because I respect a child's mind as I would an adult's and of course check in with parents about their methods so we can stay consistent with them. I have been working with children for roughly 10 years now and i always come out of each job having learned so much about the child, a new sense of family dynamics and new ways going forward to better communication. I hope to be working with you soon :) Little fun deets about moi, Im heavy involved in the arts and I freelance outside of nannying, I am goofy and queer and i am a huge EMPATH so you know your kids are loved and paid attention to 10000% with me. If you have any more questions just message me I’m happy to chat :)

Hello! My name is Alexzandrea, and I’m excited to offer my babysitting services to families in need. With 9 years of experience in the education field and 7 years of babysitting on and off, I bring a well-rounded background of skills to ensure your child is cared for and engaged in a safe, nurturing environment. I’m a proud breast cancer survivor, and this journey has made me even more passionate about life and making meaningful connections. Recently, I was laid off from my position at Chicago Public Schools, and I’m looking to dedicate my time to helping children in new ways. As a parent of a child with ADHD, I have a deep understanding of how to manage different behavioral needs and create personalized strategies for each child to thrive. I believe in fostering a positive, supportive, and fun environment, where kids feel heard and loved. I also have my own reliable car, so transportation is never an issue if you need me to pick up or drop off your child. I truly love working with kids of all ages, and my goal is always to make each child feel safe, respected, and excited to spend time with me. I look forward to meeting you and your little ones! Feel free to reach out with any questions.

I am bilingual (speaking fluent Spanish and English). I put children and parents first before everything! I love playing with little ones and I have over 8 years experience in taking care of and entertaining little ones! It would be my pleasure to take care of your family as it is my pleasure to serve others! I cook, clean, and have a blast taking care of children. I have experience with children from 3 months to 13 years. I am qualified and capable with all ages however I have most experience with infants and toddlers. I do everything with love and treat your family as if it were my own. Thank 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
