More About Me

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

I have worked with Nexplore, which is a company that provides after school educational programs to school districts. For this job I am responsible for teaching an hour lesson at the end of each day to a group of six to twelve 1st through 5th graders. The contents of the lessons include math, reading, science, as well as extra curricular subjects like magic and drone building.
I was also a babysitter in my hometown from when I was a freshman in high school to when I graduated. I had four main families I was a babysitter for, all with kids aging 5 - 11. I would go to their houses and do activities with the kids as well as help with homework. Additionally, I was a nanny with the company Jovie. This company outsourced nannies to different families throughout Chicago, and I would work with a new family each day.

Activities I enjoy doing with children...

As a dedicated and enthusiastic nanny, I am passionate about creating a dynamic and enriching environment for the children under my care. I love fostering creativity in children through art projects, crafts, and imaginative play. From finger painting to DIY projects, I encourage self-expression and enjoy seeing their unique creations come to life. I incorporate age-appropriate educational activities into our daily routines, including interactive games, educational apps, and reading sessions. I believe in making learning a joyful experience that sparks curiosity and a love for knowledge. Exploring the outdoors is a key part of a child's development. Whether it's a visit to the local park, nature walks, or organized sports activities, I strive to keep the children active, engaged, and connected to the world around them.

The most important part about being a nanny...

The most crucial aspect of being a nanny extends far beyond simply supervising and caring for children. At its core, being a nanny is about forming a genuine and supportive connection with the children under your care. Building a relationship based on trust, respect, and affection is paramount for the overall well-being and development of the children.
