A little bit about me

Hello! I'm Ava, and I'm looking forward to relocating from St. Louis to Chicago on January 1st to support my partner at the University of Chicago.

I bring a unique and valuable blend of experience to childcare, which includes direct experience as a Family Nanny and cultural immersion as an Au Pair in Italy. My professional background in high-end hospitality further ensures I offer a service-first mindset, excelling in areas like proactive organization, logistical management, and maintaining impeccable safety standards.

My hands-on experience involved preparing meals, providing homework and tutoring assistance, and planning engaging excursions. I am highly skilled at establishing routines, communicating openly with parents, and managing household duties.

I am eager to transition my skills into a dedicated care role in Chicago.

More About Me

Relevant experience where I also cared for children were...

I have been caring for children of all ages since I turned 16. It has always been something I love to do and has never felt like a job! I have experience with children of backgrounds, and some basic skills with special needs children.

Activities I enjoy doing with children...

I love going on outdoor walks, doing crafts, games, and puzzles. I also love to play enrichment games and believe it to be extremely beneficial.

The most important part about being a nanny...

I think the most important parts of being a nanny include a sense of comfort with the children. Along with that, I think that mutual respect and love are essential.

My experience with special needs children...

I have beginner experience with special needs children, but am not opposed to learning more!

The most important part about being a nanny...

My favorite moment was while serving as an Au Pair in Italy. The child and I were making dinner, and she suddenly started singing a nursery rhyme in Italian. The pride on her face when she successfully taught me the chorus remains the sweetest memory of bridging our languages through play.
