Find experienced nannies in Elmhurst, IL

Hi there! I’m an experienced nanny with a genuine passion for helping children learn, grow, and thrive. I’m a kid at heart, so I bring warmth, enthusiasm, creativity, and plenty of energy into every day while creating a safe and nurturing environment. My journey working with children began in 2016 as a special needs swim coach, where I developed the patience, empathy, and adaptability that continue to guide my approach to caring for children today. Since then, I’ve gained experience caring for infants, twins, toddlers, preschool-aged, and elementary-aged children, including nanny share settings and families with multiple young children. I love planning engaging activities that support developmental milestones through reading, outdoor adventures, sensory play, music, and hands-on learning. I’m also proactive, dependable, and enjoy helping families by staying organized and pitching in wherever I can. I’m looking for a family where communication, kindness, and teamwork are valued. My goal is to become a trusted teammate to parents while providing children with a loving, enriching environment where they can feel confident, curious, and deeply cared for.

Hello! Nice to meet you :) I’m Sabrina and I’m a childcare provider and professional contemporary dancer based in Chicago, IL! I’ve been working with children since 2018 and after graduating from New York University with a BFA in Dance and a minor in Business and Media in 2024, I’ve worked as a nanny, dance educator and after school care provider around the Chicagoland area. I have experience with children ages 6 weeks through 16 years, but specialize in early childhood education with children 6 months through 9 years old. In Chicago, I’ve worked for BASH Kids Club, an after care provider specializing in the arts, in addition to nannying and babysitting various children around the city. I've been a full time chaperone for The Joffrey Ballet's summer dance programs during the 2022 and 2023 summer sessions where over a three month period, I lived in a dormitory setting with students ranging from 9-22, helping them navigate the program and facilitate various activities and crafts. In New York, I acted as a nanny and personal assistant for a family in Brooklyn regularly on weekday mornings. I would get her children ready for the day, take them to school and then assist with daily household tasks such as laundry and dishes, errands, organization tasks and various small projects that needed to be completed.

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!

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.

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!!! ☺️☀️
