Grace G., Nanny in Western Springs, IL 60558 with 7 years of paid experience

I am an energetic, friendly, caring sitter looking to find a part time or full time position near me. I live in the Hyde Park neighborhood. I am a college graduate (BA in English, Minor in Spanish) and I have extensive experience working with children of all ages as a nanny and in Chicago Public Schools (I have worked for CPS as a Special Education Classroom Assistant as well as a Tutor/Mentor and as a Substitute Teacher). Let's schedule an interview to see if I am a good fit for your family! I became a caregiver because I love working with children - it is a rewarding job where you can help children and families with their day to day tasks and bring structure as well as fun to each day when you are at work.

Grace did a great job with our 3 young children. She was very communicative and able to balance playtime with different ages. We came back to a tidy home and happy kids!

Eric R., Nanny in Western Springs, IL 60558 with 1 year of paid experience

Hi! I’m Eric — a medical student with years of hands-on childcare experience in both family and hospital settings. I’ve cared for kids of all ages, from newborns to teens, and have been an uncle since 14. I spent five years at the University of Chicago Medical Center cuddling and comforting babies in the NICU and engaging children in the playroom, then volunteered at Lurie Children’s Hospital supporting pediatric cardiac patients. Now, I help coordinate Rush University’s Buddies & Cuddlers program, training and scheduling volunteers who comfort infants and children. I also mentor high school students through my nonprofit, Sneakers to Scrubs, helping them explore medical careers. I love helping kids feel safe, calm, and happy — whether feeding an infant, reading stories, or organizing activities. I’m CPR and First Aid trained, fully vaccinated, and bring a dependable, caring presence to every family I work with.

We have had such a wonderful experience with Eric! Our kids adore him. He is incredibly calm, patient, and kind, and has such a natural way of connecting with kids. He is genuinely engaging and present with them… not just supervising, but playing, talking, and really getting to know them. He has a steady, easygoing presence that makes kids feel comfortable and makes me feel completely at ease leaving them in his care. He is thoughtful, dependable, and handles everything with so much patience. I would absolutely recommend him to any family looking for a caring, trustworthy, and truly wonderful sitter!

Sabrina S., Nanny in Western Springs, IL 60558 with 7 years of paid experience

Hello! Nice to meet you :) I’m Sabrina and I’m a childcare provider and professional contemporary dancer based in Chicago, IL! I’ve been working with children since 2018 and after graduating from New York University with a BFA in Dance and a minor in Business and Media in 2024, I’ve worked as a nanny, dance educator and after school care provider around the Chicagoland area. I have experience with children ages 6 weeks through 16 years, but specialize in early childhood education with children 6 months through 9 years old. In Chicago, I’ve worked for BASH Kids Club, an after care provider specializing in the arts, in addition to nannying and babysitting various children around the city. I've been a full time chaperone for The Joffrey Ballet's summer dance programs during the 2022 and 2023 summer sessions where over a three month period, I lived in a dormitory setting with students ranging from 9-22, helping them navigate the program and facilitate various activities and crafts. In New York, I acted as a nanny and personal assistant for a family in Brooklyn regularly on weekday mornings. I would get her children ready for the day, take them to school and then assist with daily household tasks such as laundry and dishes, errands, organization tasks and various small projects that needed to be completed. I also worked for a variety of families on an as-needed basis in the New York City area. I pride myself on being responsible, punctual and friendly and often complete various household tasks such as laundry, meal preparation and dishes. I'm all about making your life as a parent easier! I'd love to get to know you and your family and look forward to working with you soon. Best, Sabrina

Sabrina was punctual, communicative, and upbeat. She was able to quickly take charge of a child who was very upset about the transition and over the few hours they played quickly formed a bond. She quickly got down to my child's level, was attentive, cleaned up - and better than that my two year old wanted her to come back!

We’ve been using Terri as our nanny for our infant, and we truly couldn’t be happier. She’s absolutely wonderful with our little one—gentle, nurturing, and incredibly attentive to his needs. Terri is also very communicative, always keeping us updated and making sure we're on the same page. She’s a pleasure to work with and has made the transition into parenthood so much smoother for our family. We feel lucky to have found her!

We had a very pleasant experience with Hannah. She arrived on time, and was easy to talk to. I really liked how she kept in communication or gave us quick updates throughout the evening. She was very patient with one of our daughters who was very upset. (About something not related to the babysitting) She took a calm and steady approach handling the situation. We cannot thank her enough! We would definitely like her to sit again in very near future!

Leslie M., Nanny in Western Springs, IL 60558 with 5 years of paid experience

Hello! I live in Chicago and have a full-time job during the week as a Delivery Consultant for a software company. I don't have any children of my own, but love being around children of all ages watching them react to new things and explore the world. I consider myself to be optimistic, friendly, energetic, creative, and firm when necessary. Outside of my full time job, I avoid screen time as much as possible. I much prefer to be out doing new things - love the arts, baking/cooking, and being active. I babysat regularly in high school and college - ages from infant to elementary. While in high school I volunteered at a local fitness center in the day care center, caring for children as their parents used the gym. I participated in Big Brothers/Big Sisters in college and enjoyed mentoring children in underserved communities. I have three young nieces and a nephew that live out of state. I don't get to see them as often as I would like, so I cherish my time with them and enjoy spoiling them as much as I can! I am generally available after 5pm on weekday evenings and anytime on weekends. I have a car and live in the South Loop neighborhood.

Abilyn P., Nanny in Western Springs, IL 60558 with 10 years of paid experience

I’m a reliable, nurturing, and dedicated nanny with over 10 years of hands-on childcare experience. I’ve worked with children of all ages, including infants, and truly love creating a safe, engaging, and loving environment where kids can grow and feel understood. I take pride in making everyday moments special—whether that’s planning fun outdoor activities, crafts, or simply being present and attentive to each child’s unique needs. My current long-term position is coming to an end as the youngest child is starting kindergarten, and I’m now looking for a full-time summer role with the hope of continuing into a long-term position with the right family. I value strong communication, mutual respect, and becoming a supportive, dependable part of a family’s daily life. I love being outside, staying active, and encouraging creativity and curiosity in children. I can also provide strong references from families I’ve worked closely with over the years. I’m reliable, nurturing, and genuinely love being around kids. Whether it’s arts and crafts, outdoor adventures, or playdates, I try to make the most out of each experience. I’m also comfortable with light housekeeping related to the kids, and managing routines/activities. If you’re looking for someone dependable and experienced to jump in a few days a week this summer, I’d love to connect!!! ☺️☀️
