A little bit about me

Hey it’s Mili! 🤗 I’m a full-time live-in nanny and I love working with kids especially younger kids. I absolutely enjoy caring for infants and toddlers, I’m like a big sister and would enjoy playing and doing activities with them such as bike riding or playing any kind of games. I have experience of 2 years and not to include my English/Spanish teaching experience with my TEFL certificate. I can cook, do some housekeeping, and even homework help. I have most of my experience overseas in London and France working with children of all ages. I’m looking for a kind and loving family to accept me to work and a positive environment to add on to the beautiful memories. I look forward to meeting ya :)

Best Wishes

A little bit about me

I have recently made the move to Chicago and will be working as a NICU nurse in the city. Before my move, I always loved being able to nanny a few days/nights outside of my full time job hours, and I am eager to continue doing that in a new city as well! I absolutely adore children and love being able to nanny outside from my full time job as a registered nurse. I am a huge animal lover & love to do fun activities outdoors...especially long walks!

A little bit about me

I am 27 years old. I come from a very large family with a lot of children and pets. I have 11 siblings and more nieces and nephews than I can count. I enjoy reading, listening to podcasts, going on long walks with my dog, and cooking. I have been nannying alongside working my other job as the AGM and Beverage Director of a bar. Unfortunately, due to Covid I have lost both. My bar closed and the family I have been working with for four years has moved back to Vegas. I am deeply saddened by this because I had gotten so close to him throughout the years and watching him grow was nothing short of amazing. I helped potty train him and we had plenty of fun adventures around Chicago. I think there is no better time than now to meet and become part of a new family!
