A little bit about me

Hi!
My name is Frankie! I’m 22 years old and a recent graduate of the University of Wisconsin - Madison. I graduated with a BA in Psychology and plan to pursue a PhD in Clinical Psychology in the fall of 2025, with the long term goal of working as an early childhood psychologist. Until then I’m hoping to work as a full time nanny!
I was a nanny all throughout college and am eager to continue now that I'm back in Chicago. I've nannied for as young as 3 months all the way up to 13-year-olds and have over 10 years of experience. I'm CPR certified and have experience with infant care, bottle feeding, solid food introduction, and monitoring developmental milestones.
I'm currently working as the summer art director at Fred's Camp in Lincoln Park and am hoping to start a full time nanny position in August or September once camp ends. Can't wait to hear from you!
