Hi! I’m Denisse, I’m 22 and I study mechanical engineering at UIC. I’ve always loved being around kids! I actually started working with them when I was 15 as a lifeguard. I later became head lifeguard and then assistant manager, and through all of that I learned that making sure kids are safe, cared for, and having fun is something I’m really passionate about. After that, I worked as a teacher assistant at two wonderful daycares. That’s when I realized how much I love teaching and creating fun, playful moments with little ones. Whether it's singing, doing silly science experiments, or playing a round of Candy Land (which I always bring with me), I love making kids laugh and feel happy. Even though I’m deep into my engineering classes now, working with kids still brings me so much joy. I really enjoy making their days special and I always bring a lot of energy, creativity, and heart into everything I do.

Hello! My name is Lauren but I go by Laura! I am a fun, enthusiastic nanny/baby-sitter! I grew up in a family of five children and I have helped raise my little brothers my entire life. I babysat many family friends children as well as our neighbors children too. I am great with arts and crafts, snacks, and fun games for the little ones! I keep the kids motivated and entertained but still help with homework, cleaning, and also can help with prepping food if needed. I have seven years of experience as a nanny as well with transportation. I graduated college with a bachelors degree in sports medicine and I am CPR/AED and first aid certificated, so staying healthy and happy is my number one goal! I have experience as a nanny where I cooked, cleaned, transported the kids to hobbies and events. I adore children as if they were my own brothers and sisters and I feel I would make a great nanny for your family!
