A little bit about me
I’m a current sophomore at Miami University in Ohio, where I’m majoring in Speech Pathology and Audiology. I’ve always loved working with kids, and my major reflects that—I hope to work closely with children in my future career!
I’ve been babysitting for local families since I was 14 and have experience with kids of all ages, from infants to middle schoolers. I also previously worked at Color Me Mine, where I helped kids get creative and have fun in a positive, supportive environment.
I’m responsible, patient, and dependable, and prioritize creating a safe, fun, and positive space for kids. I’m comfortable preparing meals, planning activities, nap and bedtime routines, and getting kids to their scheduled activities.
I’d love the opportunity to connect and see if I’d be a fit as a summer nanny for your family!

My experience with childcare started when I was only 12 years old. I began babysitting for my neighbors and quickly fell in love with taking care of children. I have worked with infants, toddlers, and school aged children. I have been responsible for driving to/from activities, meal preparation, and house cleaning. I am always open to trying new things for all my families!
If you are looking for a reliable and responsible caregiver look no further! I am highly skilled in childcare and I am confident I can be the right candidate for your families needs. I love children and I love seeing them grow, I will work tirelessly to ensure that your children are in the right hands!

What Is a Summer Nanny?
A summer nanny is a nanny who works during the school break, for the full summer or for part of it. Summer nannies are often teachers, college students, or experienced nannies who prefer seasonal work, so families can find help when school-age children are home during the day.
Common Responsibilities of Summer Nannies in Elmhurst, IL
Summer days are less structured than the school year. A summer nanny plans activities such as park visits, swimming, crafts, and day trips, prepares meals and snacks, and may take children to camps or classes. For younger children, they keep up the usual nap and mealtime routines.
What to Consider Before You Hire
Start your search early, since good summer nannies are booked quickly. Decide your start and end dates, your weekly hours, and whether you need flexibility around camps, vacations, or travel. Be clear about transportation, and about whether you need the nanny to drive. If your dates might change, say so up front.
Summer Nanny Interview Questions
Once you find a promising candidate, invite them for an interview to see if they would be a great fit for your family. Here are some questions you can ask:
- Which dates are you available this summer?
- Are you able to adjust if our dates or hours change?
- What activities would you plan for the children during the day?
- Are you comfortable driving, including to camps and activities?
- Do you have experience with children of our children's ages?
At this stage, request their references and ask their references some questions. After preparing the job offer or contract, we recommend that you run a background check before the start date.
