A little bit about me

I was a nanny and household assistant for many years. I worked for a family for 12 1/2 years, another family for 10 years and took care of twins for 3 1/2 years. I love to experience new milestones and help children meet those. I have experience with up to 8 children. I’ve also had personal assistant positions along with animal care. I have been in animal rescue for the last nine years. I assisted a vet for a year and a half at a rescue. I have great references for both. I have an updated background check through UrbanSitter and Care.com. I still spend the holidays with one family. I am healthy and active. I have an advanced art background and went to college at Columbia. A typical day with a child, would involve art projects with imagination, children’s age appropriate toys, outdoor play, or children’s group activities for socialization. Also, museums and libraries for strong learning experiences. Please reach out and let me know when we can have a conversation. Thanks.

A little bit about me

Hello,

I’ve been nannying for 5 years and babysitting since I was 17. As a mom to a 6-year-old who loves sports, especially baseball and hockey, I bring both experience and passion to caring for children. I was raised on the Northside of Chicago and still reside in a northside neighborhood. (Go Cubs) I began nannying in a nanny share with two infants, which I thoroughly enjoyed, and I love working with multiple children. Over the years, I’ve cared for up to 6 kids at once. I consider myself a Montessori nanny, encouraging kids to be independent and introducing basics like sign language, Spanish, and French. For infants, I create activity bags using high-contrast colors to engage their visual development. I focus on teaching patterns, number, and letter recognition through fun activities, including crafts, circle time, and outings. I’m passionate about fostering a love for learning in a nurturing, active environment.
