Archana S. provided excellent care for our children. We have a 2 year old and a nearly 4 year old, and Archana has given care for both at once, and one-on-one. She is thorough, dependable, thoughtful and - above all - fun! The kids really enjoyed having her as a caregiver. I will hire her again, and recommend her to you and your children without reservation!

Migle is a professional babysitter. You can tell she has a large amount of experience babysitting and enjoys what she does. She is easy to communicate with and always arrives on time. My children have easily adjusted to her. When she arrived the first time and I was explaining procedures, she asked questions I hadn't even thought of. That made be feel assured I had picked the right babysitter for my children. They are always eager for her to babysit.

Hi, I’m Valerie — a caregiver with over 25 years of professional childcare experience, offering calm, attentive, and emotionally intelligent care for children and families. I currently run a childcare program for children ages infant–6 years at Lakeview Presbyterian Church in Lakeview and am an educator with Irving Park Homeschool Group. My work centers on creating safe, nurturing, and thoughtfully structured environments where children feel secure, respected, and genuinely cared for. My approach is rooted in conscious parenting principles: emotional attunement, respectful communication, clear and loving boundaries, and supporting children’s nervous systems so they feel safe to explore, learn, and grow. I pay close attention not only to physical safety, but also to children’s emotional and psychological well-being — the details that truly set high-quality care apart. In my personal life, I’m a homeschooling mother of two pre-teens and an organizer of educational experiences for a homeschool community of approximately 60 families. Managing group dynamics, individual needs, and smooth transitions is second nature to me. I have extensive experience with infants and toddlers bringing a grounded, confident presence to those tender early years. I also enjoy incorporating creative projects, imaginative play, and hands-on learning into the day in a way that feels natural and fun. I’m also very comfortable in homes with pets and consider furry family members an extra bonus. Families who work with me are typically looking for reliable, thoughtful, high-trust care and value experience, professionalism, and emotional intelligence. If that sounds like what you’re seeking, I’d love to connect. Warmly, Valerie

Valerie was wonderful...the boys instantly felt comfortable with her which is rare. My oldest son the next morning woke up telling me how much fun he had with Valerie and reported that she read him 3 books before bed which he was so excited about! Both boys were clearly in caring hands and I came home to a spotless house - a wonderful experience from beginning to end!

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.
