Find experienced nannies in Chicago, IL

*Please see RATINGS/REVIEWS. I’m extremely Covid-safe & vaccinated. ——— Hi, my name is Lisa, I’m Chicago born, college educated, a nanny, musician, writer, artist, ex-office manager, & a very warm, responsible, energetic & fun woman. I'm middle child from a huge (7 kids) suburban family, & LOVE children. I was egg donor for my sister 19 years ago, although I never had any of my own. I get no greater joy than seeing a child's face light up when they learn something new. I've been a professional nanny for many kids through Sittercity the last 14 years, as well as babysitting for friend’s kids, nieces, nephews & siblings over the years. I'm experienced with newborn to teenagers. I'm the Mary Poppins type--I love to sing, dance, teach & do art projects with kids. I cure tantrums with laughter, listening & distraction. I'm on the sensitive side & am especially good with sensitive children. Years ago I was office manager at an architect firm. I now prefer the company of children and love to see smiling little faces each day. Making kids laugh & helping them learn is far more rewarding than the corporate world. My English skills are excellent as well as my grammar. I know a tiny bit of Spanish as well. I have a car & perfect driving record. First Aid, Infant to Adult CPR certified. I do light housecleaning, laundry, dog walking, etc. I'm great at organizing & can shop for clothes/food. Great in kitchen, I myself am vegan but can cook anything.

Please take a look at my Sittercity reviews! Best, Takiyah

Hello! My name is Alexzandrea, and I’m excited to offer my babysitting services to families in need. With 9 years of experience in the education field and 7 years of babysitting on and off, I bring a well-rounded background of skills to ensure your child is cared for and engaged in a safe, nurturing environment. I’m a proud breast cancer survivor, and this journey has made me even more passionate about life and making meaningful connections. Recently, I was laid off from my position at Chicago Public Schools, and I’m looking to dedicate my time to helping children in new ways. As a parent of a child with ADHD, I have a deep understanding of how to manage different behavioral needs and create personalized strategies for each child to thrive. I believe in fostering a positive, supportive, and fun environment, where kids feel heard and loved. I also have my own reliable car, so transportation is never an issue if you need me to pick up or drop off your child. I truly love working with kids of all ages, and my goal is always to make each child feel safe, respected, and excited to spend time with me. I look forward to meeting you and your little ones! Feel free to reach out with any questions.

Hello, I am a Junior at UIC working toward a criminology, law & justice degree. I have been caring for kids since I was a teenager and have since developed a passion of providing knowledge, entertainment, & safety for children as if they were my own.I have been making connections and bonds with children and families since day one! I am also CPR certified and first aid trained.

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
