Nanny Brooke
A little bit about me
My name is Brooke, and I’m moving to the Chicago area in May 2025! I’m looking for a full-time nanny position for the summer (early May–early September) but am flexible with the exact timeframe. I am willing to travel to any nearby Chicago suburb.
I’m 22 years old and moving to Chicago to attend graduate school, where I’ll be studying to become a women’s health nurse practitioner and certified nurse midwife. I was a college distance runner and marathoner and have extensive experience working with children ages 0–13. I am CPR and First Aid certified and have worked in urgent care, giving me the ability to handle a wide range of needs with confidence and care.
I’m seeking a full-time summer position, with the possibility of transitioning to part-time during the school year if needed. As a highly organized, type-A person, my goal is to keep your kids happy, healthy, and engaged. I also offer household assistance as needed.
