A little bit about me
Hi! My name is Tina, I’m Irish, and I’m living in Chicago until January 2025. I’m a final year student nurse studying in DCU. I also work as a lifeguard part time. I’m an outgoing, caring and enthusiastic child minder with 6 years of experience for many different families. My nursing education has also equipped me with critical skills in first aid, CPR, and emergency response, ensuring that I can handle any situation calmly and competently.
I have also coached kids football, and I have coached in cúl camps during the summer.
I have a qualification in volley ball coaching for children which I done for 2 years.
I have 3 years of placement completed for my nursing degree and done a placement in a children's hospital in Dublin called Crumlin hospital which I loved. My experience from this has aided me greatly with childminding. I also do modules in college that include child care, child psychology and much more. I have also cared for many children with disabilities.

A little bit about me
Hi! My name is Catherine and for the past 3 years I have been living in Chicago and working in Marketing/Project Management at a Tech Startup - but since being apart of a company-wide layoff last summer, I have been unsuccessful in finding a job that fits me.... so I have decided to turn to something that has been a consistent part of my life - nannying!!!
I have always loved working with kids and helping them grow - whether its my families I work with whenever I am home in Milwaukee, WI or the girls in the Girl Scout troop I organized.
I love love love the curiosity, compassion, and energy kids bring to life. It is a privilege to be able to be apart of a child's life/growth - from being able to engaging activities to heartfelt conversations, I want to make sure your child feels heard, supported, and loved through every experience.
I am located in Lakeview East and I am available for part-time or full-time care starting whenever!
