Hi I’m Yvonne! I’m 29 and have been a nanny for a little over 9 accumulative years now. I’d like to say I’m fun and energetic and hope my references can back me up on that. Love the process of watching a child grow and learn which is why I find being a nanny so fulfilling.I am currently a assistant teacher to a class of 20 3-4 year olds!

"Yvonne was the nanny for my daughter since she was 6. She was always on time and reliable. In case of emergencies she would let me know of schedule changes with enough time in between to plan accordingly which was much appreciated. She picked my daughter up from school and helped with homework. Was in charge of meals as well. My daughter never stopped talking about playing with her and how much fun they had together. She helped me weekdays in the afternoons while I worked. We parted ways because we no longer needed a nanny."

A little bit about me
With 4 years of experience caring for children ranging from infancy to school age, I bring a warm, dependable, and engaging presence into any home. I believe in fostering a safe, nurturing, and creative environment where children can thrive emotionally, socially, and developmentally.
Throughout my career, l've built strong, trusting relationships with both children and their parents.
I've handled daily routines including meals, naps, educational play, and outdoor time — always with patience, consistency, and open communication.
I'm also happy to assist with light housekeeping and meal prep.
What sets me apart is my ability to truly connect with kids while maintaining structure. I adapt quickly to each child's personality and needs, and I always support the family's parenting style and values. I'm certified in CPR and First Aid, and I take safety seriously — but I never forget to add fun and laughter to each day.

"Peggy has been an integral part of my life for many years, first as my nanny and then as a member of my family. I am 40 years old, and we still keep in regular contact because she is family. Her dedication, kindness, and unwavering commitment to my well-being left an indelible mark on my life. Peggy's ability to create a nurturing and structured environment made our home feel like a safe space. She was always patient, attentive, and responsive, ensuring that I felt supported and cared for every day.
Peggy has a natural gift for connecting with children, and she consistently demonstrated compassion, warmth, and an incredible work ethic. She was always proactive, helping with household tasks, organizing activities, and encouraging learning and development. Her genuine interest in fostering a positive and engaging environment helped shape me into the person I am today.
My wife and I have a three-year-old son and if we lived in Chicago today, we wouldn’t hesitate to hire Peggy immediately."
