Hi my name is Pricila Velez. I’m 25 year old. I speaks English and Spanish. I started working as a babysitter and nanny since I was 17 years old, caring for premature babies, infants, toddler, kids from 0 months to 12 years old. I have experienced caring for kids with (remote sensors, autism’s, lactose intolerant, ADHD, premature, much more). I feel comfortable providing (bath time, feeding, changing clothes, naps times, cleaning after kids and more). I’m looking for a family that can be flexible with me since I have a baby that was born on December 7, 2025 and he is premature and still in the NICU. Also I’m looking for a family can let me have my baby with me after he gets out of the hospital.

I've been a nanny/babysitter since I was 18. I'm now 35 years old and I have a 6 (almost 7) year old son. I've always enjoyed interacting with kids and caring for them. I know how hard it is to leave your children with a stranger so I always to make everyone feel comfortable and be that extra hand they count on. I was in the army reserves for a few years and have also worked in a pediatric dental office as an assistant and receptionist. My now ex husband joined the army and so we had to move around a bit and we just moved back to the Mundelein area. My mom was also a nanny and so I grew up going to work with her and found my own passion for helping families and followed in her footsteps. All the families we have worked for have become like family and most we still keep in touch after the kids have grown up. My son has been going to work with me since he was 1.5 years old and he loves it. It's like a playdate for him and the other children. He's very social and well mannered. My most recent work was for a family in Lincolshire who had 2 little girls ages 2.5 and 5 when I started. I was with the from Jan 2023-Aug 2024. Prior to them I was with a family in Texas who have 2 little girls. They were ages 2.5 years old and 5 months old when I started. I worked for a year with them. I have other references from Illinois as well. My son used to go to work with me and I was lucky to find families who were kind enough to allow that. Now he is in school all day so its not longer a neccesity but I still would like to find families who wouldnt mind if i needed to for all the random days off of school, however I know it's not for everyone so I would understand and have care for him. I've cared for all ages from 6 weeks old to 14 years. I've also worked in a daycare in the infant room and toddler room. Helping to care for 12-20 kids at once. I enjoy doing crafts with the kids and going outside. I have my own reliable car and am non smoking. I also enjoy taking care of pets so if you have any that's not a problem. I've dogsat for families as well. I've taken care of up to 4 kids at once alone. I also organize so if you need help with that I would love to. Updated availability!! Currently available Monday through Friday 830 am-530pm Thank you for reading. Hope to hear from you soon 🙂

Nanny with experience | Care, development and respect for the child 🤍 Hello dear Parents. My name is Nadiia and I am an experienced nanny who loves to work with children I know the age characteristics of children well, I understand that age crises are the norm, I accept all the emotions of the child and help him to live them calmly and without pressure. I work according to the regime, support and develop the child's self-esteem, praise for the efforts, not just for the result. I use the game at work, because the game is the main tool for the child's development. I never raise my tone, even in difficult situations, I care about the safety of the child. I am looking for full-time or part-time employment, hourly work, as well as the possibility of shift work. I work with an individual approach to each child, providing a calm, warm and safe atmosphere. My strengths: kind, attentive and patient, punctual and responsible, energetic, easily find a common language with children, respect the personal boundaries of the child, spend time cheerfully and usefully, cook deliciously. I have extensive practical experience and recommendations from previous families. Always in touch with parents to solve organizational issues.

I have been working with children my whole life, as well as raising two children of my own. I have a BS in psychology/child development from U of I, and have been a nanny, preschool teacher, child development specialist, and director of a preschool. I can’t imagine a more rewarding field. I look forward to meeting you and your little ones! *Please note: Due to an immunocompromised family member, I am unable to provide sick care. Your transparency with any illness in the household is important. Thank you!
