Find experienced nannies in Whiting, IN

Hi! I'm CJ, a former preschool teacher, afterschool director, and athletic coach with 10+ years of experience, newly arrived in the city and excited to meet my next great family! My greatest strength is my versatility. Whether your child is athletic, artistic, a bookworm, or a quiet dreamer, I connect with them on their level. My days are filled with a balanced mix of active play (gymnastics fundamentals, anyone?), creative projects, and cozy reading time. I'm just as comfortable leading a backyard obstacle course as I am discussing Hogwarts houses or building a pillow fort. I have a deep passion and extensive experience supporting neurodivergent children, using tailored strategies to ensure they feel understood, regulated, and empowered.

Hi, I’m Faith. You can call me Alex. I’m currently a student at Columbia College Chicago and I am majoring in American Sign Language. I am a very active person, I love going to the gym and lifting weights- so I can keep up with a big group of active kids. I’ve watched kids for a lot of my life because my mom has a home daycare and am great with them. I have been doing it for myself since I was 17, I am 21 now. I use a lot of imagination in play, and I also use my love for art when the kids want to do art as well.

Hello, my name is Maribel Sánchez and I am currently an Early Childhood Education teacher and just earned my Child Development Associate. I have worked with children for the past 10 years from toddlers to preschoolers to school aged children. I enjoy working with children because as much as they learn from me I learn from them! It is a pleasure to work with children and support them with expanding their skills and reaching their full potential. During my free time I enjoy playing soccer, watching movies, and hanging out with my family! :)

Hello! My name is Brianna and here’s a little intro about me. I have been in childcare for 10 years and I have been a nanny and babysitter for 8 years now. I do not babysit or nanny as a side gig, I’m very passionate about childcare and the safety and comfort of children. I myself had to stay in afterschool programs or with crappy sitters for years as a child and I remember what it’s like to miss mom and dad. So of course when you hire a sitter the last thing you want is someone who isn’t friendly and doesn’t make your child feel like their at home. I’m here to correct all of that and encourage your children to be who they are, be happy and have fun.

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! My name is Rachel, and it would be an honor to babysit your children. With my 6 years of experience in a paid childcare setting and an additional 3 years unpaid babysitting for friends and family, I ensure your children will be in great hands. I also have a child of my own who is now nine years old, which gives me some parenting experience. I have plenty of involvement with assisting children to meet the appropriate developmental stages for their age. I have multiple outlets for learning activities including fine motor and large motor skills. When babysitting, I will sometimes bring a bag filled with some materials to help assist with games and crafts (with permission). Kids usually love my big imagination, that I love to sing, my sensory crafts, and my outdoor skills/activities. Some extra duties I am willing to help out with would include light household cleaning if time, parents, and children allow it, potty training, grocery pick-up, and meal prep. I currently nanny for a family in Frankfort Monday through Thursday and I’m looking to fill my Fridays along with the weekends! Although, mom will be going on maternity leave mid June and I am looking to care for someone this summer! Mom is off until January, so I can even extend it to that time if needed and also possibly open to staying with new family! Please contact me if you’re interested.

I am an arts-embracing, music & dance-loving, playful, creative, compassionate, & intuitive childcare worker. I am patient, nurturing, gentle, & firm. I have over 15 years of experience working with children of all ages, from infants to teens, as a nanny, dance instructor, summer camp program coordinator, after-school youth worker/Lead, & youth mentor. My last child-care job was homeschooling a small pod of preschoolers mid-pandemic using Maria Montessori curriculum. I am attentive, I focus on getting to know children & meeting them where their particular needs & interests are. I like to be really present & engage on their level. I do well with giving structure & routine to the day with enough wiggle room for creativity & flow. I like to spend lots of time outside when the weather permits it & I make pretty good forts. I am currently working at a restaurant & looking to pick up a part-time child-care job. I am vaccinated & boosted, & still choosing to wear a mask in most public spaces. Looking forward to hearing from you! :)
