A little bit about me

From a very young age, caring for children has been woven into my life and my heart. As the eldest sister of six, I grew up naturally nurturing, protecting, and guiding little ones, learning patience, responsibility, and unconditional love long before I ever held a professional role in childcare.

Being around children feels like home to me. I cherish their laughter, their curiosity, and their pure way of seeing the world. My greatest joy is creating a safe, gentle, and loving space where every child feels valued, comforted, and truly cared for.

For me, nannying isn’t just a job — it’s a calling rooted in love, compassion, and the belief that every child deserves to feel seen, supported, and adored. 💛

A little bit about me

Hello! Nice to meet you :) I’m Sabrina and I’m a childcare provider and professional contemporary dancer based in Chicago, IL! I’ve been working with children since 2018 and after graduating from New York University with a BFA in Dance and a minor in Business in 2024, I’ve worked as a nanny, dance educator and childcare provider around the Chicagoland area. In Chicago, I’ve worked for BASH Kids Club, an after care provider specializing in the arts, in addition to nannying and babysitting various children around the city. In New York, I acted as a nanny and personal assistant for a family in Brooklyn regularly on weekday mornings and would complete daily household tasks such as laundry, dishes and errands. I also worked for a variety of families on an as-needed basis in the NYC area. I pride myself on being responsible, punctual and friendly and often complete various household tasks such as laundry, meal preparation and dishes. I'm all about making your life as a parent easier!
