I am a full-time nanny living in Chicago and I also provide babysitting services on occasion. I have been helping with childcare for my family since I was 12 years old, as the eldest of five children, three of whom are active boys. I have always enjoyed watching over children and creating a fun, safe environment for my charges. I have experience with infants, toddlers and preschool children, particularly preschool as I was an assistant Sunday school teacher for my church for six years. I also did one summer as a camp counselor for a sleep-away camp, which put me in charge of 4-8 kids 22/7. Some of my favorite activities are reading, drama and games. Generally I am a fun, easygoing sitter who enjoys playing games with the kids and making sure they have what they need. I tend to be very calm and even tempered, which helps me keep up with high-energy kids.

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’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! 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!
