Hi! I am looking to pick up hours currently as I have some flexibility when I donβt have class for my doctoral program/school. Before coming to Chicago, I worked at an elementary school in Iowa where I provided additional supports for k-3. I come from a big family (6 kids) and I love it. I love being surrounded by friends and family and always have had a passion for working with children. I started babysitting in high school and I nannied during undergrad for the same family for ~3 years. I have two chicago families that I worked for full-time, but now work for occasionally, and/or fill in. I have been with both 2+ years. I have experience with kiddos from three months to teens and I am available ASAP! :)Thank you! Feel free to reach out with any questions

I have several years of hands-on childcare experience, beginning with caring for my nephew during his early childhood. Through that experience, I developed strong skills in supervising children and responding to children's individual needs with patience and compassion. As a parent myself, I have continued to build on those caregiving skills by providing a nurturing, structured, and supportive environment for my own child. In addition to my childcare experience, I am currently attending college to pursue a degree in nursing and work part-time as a Medical Assistant. My healthcare background has enhanced my knowledge of safety, basic medical care, professionalism, and compassionate patient-centered care. I am dependable, responsible, and committed to providing quality care while ensuring the well-being and development of every child in my care.

Hi! Iβm Anilah, a full-time college student studying sonography with plans to pursue neonatal nursing. Caring for others has always been a huge part of who I am, and working with children feels very natural to me. I grew up in a big family with three siblings, so Iβm patient, nurturing, and comfortable in busy households. I love doing creative activities like painting and crocheting with kids, and I always aim to create a safe, fun, and supportive environment. Iβm reliable, attentive, and truly enjoy helping families feel at ease knowing their children are well cared for. At this time, I am not comfortable driving due to a recent car accident (not at fault). I am happy to care for children in the home and am reliable with on-site responsibilities.
