A little bit about me

Hi there! I've worked as a nanny/household assistant and taught Elementary ELA in Chicago and abroad. I'm a compassionate, dedicated and patient individual focused on creating positive and inclusive spaces where children feel valued and supported in their growth. I also bring a thoughtful, organized approach to the home, aiming to create a sense of ease and balance for the entire family. On my free time I enjoy diving into new recipes, exploring the outdoors, and spending time with loved ones.

A little bit about me

I have been a nanny for 25 years, and I truly enjoy it. I enjoy working with children and helping them through the early stages of development.
My professional experience as a nanny is varied. I have worked with families with only one child, and families that have many children
My first assignment was as a live in nanny with a family that had two boys ages 7 and 5. I worked with this family for three years. I left the position because of my first pregnancy. The family actually asked me to remain as a live in nanny with my child. I declined the offer though I was honored to have been asked.
My current position is as a nanny for 2 children ages, 2 1/2 years, and 5 months I have been in this position for 2.5 years. i am currently seeking new employment because the work environment is extremely stressful, I am currently seeking a position in the childcare field that will offer me the opportunity to utilize my experience to assist other children in their growth and development.
