A little bit about me
I'm Trina! With 11 years of experience in babysitting and 7 years as a full-time nanny, I have developed a profound understanding and love for this profession. I'm 25 and have worked with children of all ages, which has greatly enriched my life and the lives of the families I have worked with. My approach to childcare is one that encompasses kindness, love and reliability. I strive to create a nurturing environment that encourages children to grow, explore, and express themselves creatively. Each childcare experience is an opportunity to discover new aspects of child development and education. This outlook has not only allowed me to provide better care but has also instilled a sense of curiosity and adventure in the children I work with. I'd describe my personality as loving, fun, and resilient. In my spare time, I like to spend time with my friends and travel! I love cooking, art, music, and spending time outdoors as much as possible. I'm always down for an adventure, planned or not!

"Trina was an amazing nanny to my son! Not only was she super proactive and a self starter, but she was also extremely kind and caring with my son. She taught him a lot of things before he started daycare which genuinely gave him such a head start already. Trina cares so deeply about the kids she works with and has been such a life saver in my husband and I’s lives. She’s become family. We have appreciated our time with such an important and amazing person that we feel lucky to have been able to have with us!"

A little bit about me
I've been working with children since I was 14, teaching at western dupage special recreation association with differently abled kids. I've taught swim since then from ages infant to adult. Beyond that I worked as a chicago public school teacher for two years, then as a private art instructor/therapist/nanny from 2015 to now. The kids are grown up from that family enough to not need me around all the time but happy to give their mother as a reference. I play saxophone, piano and was a graduate/masters at the school of the art institute of chicago with a bfa in fine arts/art ed and a masters in art therapy.

A little bit about me
I have over 10+ years of experience working with children as a nanny, babysitter, Registered Behavior Technician, and Special Education Aide. Nothing brings me more joy than watching a child grow and develop into themselves. I am an organized, prompt, and consistent person which I believe sets a healthy foundation for my relationship with the child(ren) and their family. I enjoy being active, spending time outdoors, exploring local libraries and parks, and reading. I encourage a wide range of interests for the children I care for.

A little bit about me
Although I have a full time job at a Digital Research firm, I am looking for a part-time job that will allow me to help families with their children. I have taken care of children ranging from 3 months old to 14 years old and it's always been rewarding to see children's development. Often times, I also end up teaching Spanish to children and this makes the experience even that more memorable. I work from home so I am available to complete school drop offs, pick up kids from school, babysit weekday evenings, and anytime on the weekends.

"Lulu had great work ethic, positive energy, was promt and adored by our children. She was a babysitter to our two girls who were then 6 months and 4 years old and our son 6 years old. She worked part time for us when my wife and I were away for work. We were sorry to see her go when she moved cities but we highly recommend her as a sitter/Nanny."
