A little bit about me

Hello! I'm Nataly, an experienced and compassionate nanny with over 3 years of hands-on experience in childcare. I’ve been caring for children since I was 15 and have worked with children of all ages, from infants as young as 6 months to teenagers. I’ve had the privilege of serving as a camp counselor for two years at City Arts Rwanda, where I helped foster creativity and personal growth in kids, and as a preschool teacher assistant in Belize, where I worked with young children to encourage early learning and development.

Additionally, I served as a youth mentor and advocate at an after-school program in South Side Chicago. These experiences have not only enriched my skills as a caregiver but have also taught me the importance of providing a safe, nurturing, and structured environment for kids of all ages.

Let me know how I can help support your childcare needs—I look forward to meeting your little ones!
