Find experienced nannies in Highland Park, IL

*Seeking full time positions that don't require driving* Hello! I'm an experienced childcare provider who is looking to connect with local families in need of childcare and other help. I have extensive childcare experience (10+ yrs) and have worked closely with numerous families. Over the years, I've easily cared for 75+ children ranging from 1 week to 13 years. I spent time working as a Lead and Assistant teacher at two preschools. I have my Bachelor's Degree in Psychology from the University of Illinois at Chicago. I speak English, Tamil & some Spanish. During my free time I enjoy dancing, painting, reading, hanging outside in warm weather and spending time with my family & friends! Please feel free to reach out to me if you're interested in childcare and/or have any other questions for me! :)

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

Caring and trustworthy Nanny with over 10 years of experience supporting families and nurturing children of all ages, from newborns to teenagers.

Hi! My name is Danni Alvarez, I am 29 years old and I have been worked with children for the last 10 years. With over ten years of experience nurturing, guiding, and educating children—as a nanny, day camp counselor, and most recently a lead teacher at Champions—I’ve developed a deep passion for creating warm, engaging, and supportive environments where children thrive. Throughout my career, I’ve had the privilege of working with kids of various ages and backgrounds. Whether leading a classroom, planning enriching activities, or supporting a child one-on-one, I strive to foster curiosity, confidence, and kindness. I also speak Spanish fluently and have had experience teaching that to babies and toddlers! My time at Champions especially strengthened my skills in classroom management, curriculum planning, and collaborative teamwork with fellow educators and families. What I love most about working with children is seeing the world through their eyes—the joy in small discoveries, the power of encouragement, and the importance of consistency and care. I bring patience, creativity, and genuine enthusiasm to every role, and I’m excited about the possibility of contributing to your family! Thank you for considering my application.
