A little bit about me

Hello, I'm Oriana, a 25-year-old nanny from Venezuela. I'm known for being affectionate and reliable, with several years of experience caring for infants and toddlers. I don't smoke, love animals, and while my English is basic, my first language is Spanish—so your little one will pick up some new words! I've been working at a daycare in Chicago for over 6 months. I also have my own car and CPR certification.

A little bit about me

Hi families! My name is Claudia and I am 23 years old. I graduated with a bachelor’s degree in psychology and currently attend graduate school as I am working towards my master’s degree in clinical mental health counseling. I plan to have a career in the future providing counseling for children. I currently work at an early education center providing care for children from infancy to kindergarten age. I have been working at my center for almost 2 years and I love interacting and spending time with the children! I have most experience with infants and toddlers, but have some experience with older ages as well. I have experience in bottle feeding, diaper changes, nap time, routines, etc. I enjoy reading books with the children, making music, sensory exploration, etc. I am comfortable with light housekeeping work around the house or any errands necessary. I am reliable, flexible, and learn quickly. I have my own car, so transportation would be no issue!

A little bit about me

Hi,
my name is Klara. I am 20 years old and an undergraduate, at the University of Chicago. I have two younger siblings (one is 16 and the other one is 9), I used to take care of them when they were small, alongside my mom. I can help with laundry, swimming supervision, homework, etc. I love cooking and baking so meal preparation is not a problem. I know how to change diapers. I like to go for walks, watch movies, and play with kids. I still don't have my driver's license but I am getting one.
Thank you,
Looking forward to meeting you!
