Hi! My name is Veronica, and I’m currently studying to become an English teacher because I’ve always had a passion for learning, creativity, and helping children grow into confident, curious individuals!I’ve always loved working with kids and previously volunteered as a daycare worker at my middle school, where I helped care for young children in a fun, safe, and supportive environment. That experience only strengthened my love for childcare and showed me how rewarding it is to be a positive part of a child’s day!In my free time, I enjoy reading, baking, crafting, and creating hands-on activities that encourage creativity and learning. Whether it’s making art projects, reading stories together, baking treats, or having a movie afternoon, I love finding fun ways to keep children engaged while helping them learn and explore!Above all, I have a big heart and believe every child deserves to feel safe, comfortable, cared for, and valued. I strive to create a warm, nurturing environment where children can have fun, be themselves, and where parents can feel confident knowing their little ones are in kind, dependable hands. I would be honored to care for your family and look forward to getting to know you! 🌼⭐️🐞

Hello families, my name is Marnie and I am an experienced nanny with over 15 years experience, as well as two children of my own now. We love to sing, dance, learn, play, and explore. It would be my pleasure to care for your little one(s) so you can get some errands done, have a date night, or just some much needed “me-time.” Many say I am just like Miss Rachel and I provide the same love and care while creating a safe and fun space. Please message me if you have any questions. Thank you!

Hi families! My name is Mayra. I am 23 years old. I was born in Mexico and now I’m living here in Chicago (fluent in Spanish and English). I’m currently looking for a full-time or part-time job to continue paying for college. I am very close to my family. I don't have kids on my own, but I love taking care of them. I've been babysitting for my family since I was in high school. When I graduated high school, I got a full-time job as a nanny with a 3- and 5-year-old for almost two years until my mom no longer needed help.During the last six years, I've been working for families with babies more often. I am very patient, communicative, responsible, and loving.I enjoy spending time outdoors the most, but I also like building forts, painting, making crafts,and reading books! I'm comfortable caring for up to two children, ranging from infants to preteens.
