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!

Micaela  G., Nanny in Elmhurst, IL 60126 with 6 years of paid experience

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 :)

Micaela was our nanny for about a year and a half, caring for our three young boys, ages 5, 3, and 2. She initially joined our family as a temporary nanny while we were transitioning between childcare arrangements, but we quickly grew to love her so much that we brought her on full time. She is truly one of the kindest, most hardworking, respectful, and genuinely caring people I have ever met. The only reason we stopped using her was because I made the decision to stay home full time with our children. Even now, we continue to stay in touch with her because she became such an important part of our family. Professionally, Micaela was exceptional. She was consistently reliable and never once arrived late. Every day, she showed up with enthusiasm, patience, and genuine joy for caring for our energetic boys. She handled challenging situations with a calm and steady presence, always bringing warmth and positivity into our home. I never once questioned her ability to manage whatever the day brought, and she was always flexible and accommodating whenever unexpected work situations came up for us. We love Micaela dearly and truly cannot recommend her highly enough. Any family would be incredibly lucky to have her.

Michelle is our current nanny and has cared for our 3 girls for the last 1.5 years. They’re young and can be a lot to handle at times. The girls love her and they look forward to when she is coming. She’s a very thorough communicator and goes over what they did every day. I highly recommend Michelle for any nanny needs.

Marta B., Nanny in Elmhurst, IL 60126 with 11 years of paid experience

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.

Marta has been our son's nanny for the last two years. She is absolutely amazing! If we could give 10 stars, we would. She is incredibly creative, loving, and engaging - she truly loves being around children, playing with them, and helping them grow and learn. Our son looked forward to seeing her every day. And all of his friends were so jealous that Marta was his nanny - they love her so much. She is really brilliant at what she does. Beyond simple caregiving activities, she created curriculum with him, engaged in science experiments, did cooking projects, and took him all over the city to child-centered activities (when that was possible). We're going to miss Marta, but it's exciting to know that a family in LA will get to work with such an incredible person. If you want a full reference, we are happy to provide one.

Abilyn P., Nanny in Elmhurst, IL 60126 with 10 years of paid experience

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!!! ☺️☀️
