Pricila is a rare find. She is a wonderful person who is extremely competent at what she does. She is very patient, understanding, and kind to the littles (1-3). Our kids LOVE her and got excited when she came around. She effortlessly worked with our autistic son and was able to communicate with him and help him out when he was struggling. We'd hire Pricila again in a heartbeat.

Loveliana D., Nanny in Lake Forest, IL 60045 with 6 years of paid experience

I recently completed my Bachelor's in Early Childhood Education and Spanish. My current goals include beginning grad school to complete a Master's in Speech Pathology. I have worked with kiddos of all ages since high school, and each one has taught me something new. I love working with kids because each one has always reminded me that I can learn just as much from them as they can from me, and they hold a special place in my heart. My most recent role was as a first-grade teacher, but I have experience working with all ages from infants to teenagers. I am so excited to connect with new families!

Olga is the best! My daughter lights up and started saying some of her first words- “olgi” being one of them! She’s very attentive and gives my daughter quality one on one time. She does bath time, washes bottles, feeds her etc! She also does occasional date nights too! Highly recommend.

Ketura L., Nanny in Lake Forest, IL 60045 with 4 years of paid experience

I love being a babysitter because I enjoy spending time with children and creating a safe, fun, and caring environment where they can feel comfortable, supported, and have fun. I enjoy engaging children in age-appropriate activities such as arts and crafts, games, reading, outdoor play, and creative activities while also encouraging their curiosity and independence. I am comfortable helping with meals and snacks, homework, playtime, bath time, and bedtime routines, and I understand the importance of maintaining a child’s daily schedule. Working in healthcare has strengthened my patience, responsibility, and ability to stay calm in different situations while providing compassionate care. I also have experience as a French tutor and teaching assistant at the University of Illinois Chicago, which strengthened my ability to support children’s learning and explain concepts clearly and patiently. I value open communication with parents and make sure to follow each family’s routines, expectations, and preferences. I am dependable, attentive, and committed to creating a safe and positive experience for every child and family. I am also fluent in French, as I grew up in a French-speaking country, and would be happy to speak French with children and incorporate the language into their daily activities.
