Hi! After years of using wyndy down in Birmingham, AL, I am back home in Chicago and looking forward to babysitting here while I complete my Masters in Public Health. I have experience with date nights/occasional sitting as well as nannying. I love outdoor activities with kids or just being silly and getting some energy out. It’s important to me that I make the kids feel valued and pay attention to their individual needs.

Hi! I’m Elizabeth, and I’ve been working with children for about 9 years, starting at age 15 in an in-home daycare setting. Since then, I’ve worked in a daycare center, student-taught kindergarten, and substituted for students from pre-K through 8th grade. I’ve cared for children from 6 months through school age and truly love what I do!I’m creative, patient, dependable, and always looking for fun ways to keep kids engaged. I love getting crafty and a little messy with activities like slime, simple science experiments, baking soda and vinegar experiments, reading, games, and more. I’m a licensed teacher with an undergraduate degree in Elementary Education, BLS/CPR certified, bilingual in English and Spanish, and I’m currently pursuing my doctorate in Occupational Therapy. I’d love the opportunity to provide your child with a safe, fun, and caring experience!

Hello! My name is Cai M. I am a senior at the University of Illinois at Chicago, and I am a nanny with 9+ years of childcare experience seeking a new family to join! Part-time is preferred,but I am absolutely open to full-time. Ideally, I am looking for a long-term position. I worked at my church as a babysitter for 6 years changing diapers, coordinating play, integrating educational tools and ensuring safety. I then worked for a family with 2 young boys (for a span of 3 years as needed) and was involved in daily safety, educational enrichment and nutrition. My latest nannying job was with a family of 2 girls, ages 2 and 3. I washed dishes, did laundry, changed clothes, helped with household chores, meal prep and supervised playtime. I am also more than comfortable transporting children to and from activities and running errands for the entire family. I think I strike a perfect balance between nurturing and structure. I believe in partnering with the parent(s) to provide continuity of care and to honor and reinforce the parenting styles you value. I'm organized, punctual, reliable, I'm an excellent cook and cleaner and I am great with children of all ages!
