Find experienced nannies in Prospect Heights, IL

Hello, My name is Azize , and I am a college graduate with arts education experience, Japanese language proficiency and have both social work training and background in child care, and am currently in a master program for animation. I am detail-oriented, proactive and able to work independently. I also have training working with type 1 diabetic health. I love working with kids and find the experience genuinely valuable. I have been babysitting for newborns and children age 12 since since 16. I have been working as a professional nanny since 2020, and have worked as a live-in, full-time and part-time nanny, and even move states with a family. My most recent job was working part-time for a family with children ages 8, 6 and 2. I am currently in a masters program for animation and am looking for part-time roles. (additional work) I have also had experience working in a science and art summer camp for children between ages 8-13, where I helped instruct children, prepare food for them, play games and take them out on field trips, and work as a conflict manager. I also have experience volunteering at nursing homes as someone who engaged in activities with elderly patients. I am CPR trained (though not certified).

To my potential family, I am so excited to meet you and hopefully develop a lifelong relationship! I am filled with SO much excitement and joy at the possibility that we might just be exactly what the other is looking for! As an individual, I am curious, intelligent, intuitive, and have a great sense of humor! I love to love life and do so with kindness, compassion, and curiosity. As a nanny, I am a nurturer, space holder, guide, buddy, role model, and safety patrol! I love to see children be exactly who they are while guiding them effortlessly through their growth - good times, and hard times, in a way that is correct for them. After 14 years of nannying for families short + long term, from newborn to 16+, with as many as 5 children at once, I have come to find there is definitely an 'art' to being a nanny that I am excited to continue to create with each new family. I am an active participant in children's lives, and provide an environment where we can play, explore, learn, and BE! Whether we are playing catch outside, out at a park or playground, exploring town, sitting down to create experiential play, learning new topics together, out about in nature, helping with homework, or settling down in a bedtime routine, I do so with curiosity in my mind, and love in my heart!! I am looking for a family who truly values the beauty of being alive and who also has warmth, kindness, intelligence, and really great energy! I would flourish in a relationship with parents who value personal growth and open communication, and who has a structured but go-with-flow attitude, as well as a deep respect for one another's time, energy, and efforts in making a healthy and happy environment for everyone involved! I would love to be a part of someone's home who appreciates me as an individual, but also recognizes all of the things I can bring to their family as their nanny! It would feel fulfilling to have a family acknowledge that my background comes with a variety of skills that are both logical such as forward-thinking, organization, and time management, as well as emotional skills such as open-heartedness, impeccable intuition & awareness of surroundings, and the ability to guide each child individually and uniquely to their personality! I hope to meet you soon!

Hi there! I’m an experienced nanny with a genuine passion for helping children learn, grow, and thrive. I’m a kid at heart, so I bring warmth, enthusiasm, creativity, and plenty of energy into every day while creating a safe and nurturing environment. My journey working with children began in 2016 as a special needs swim coach, where I developed the patience, empathy, and adaptability that continue to guide my approach to caring for children today. Since then, I’ve gained experience caring for infants, twins, toddlers, preschool-aged, and elementary-aged children, including nanny share settings and families with multiple young children. I love planning engaging activities that support developmental milestones through reading, outdoor adventures, sensory play, music, and hands-on learning. I’m also proactive, dependable, and enjoy helping families by staying organized and pitching in wherever I can. I’m looking for a family where communication, kindness, and teamwork are valued. My goal is to become a trusted teammate to parents while providing children with a loving, enriching environment where they can feel confident, curious, and deeply cared for.
