A little bit about me

Hi I’m Brittany! I’ve been a nanny for ten years for multiple families! I’ve built great relationships with all my families but as all children do, they grow up & no longer need the care that I provide.
I’m a Cincinnati (Ohio) Native but am looking to relocate to Chicago in 2023. I grew up with one brother and one sister; both older. As a child I always had a caregiver’s heart, when my mother noticed it she helped me sign up for childcare at our local church in early high school. Eventually I became a children’s leader on staff at the church and expended my childcare beyond Sundays.
I have experience with newborn babies (including NICU babies) all the way to 16 year old boys and girls.
In my personal time I enjoy spending time with my two cats! I love to do crafts and DIY projects, as well as cooking and baking. My personal goal in the year of 2023 is to complete a tough mudder obstacle course with my girlfriends! Thank you for reading a little about me!:)

A little bit about me

Hi! I'm a 21 years old Spanish girl who loves spending time with children. I enjoy listening to the way they make up stories and playing with them until they get rid of energy. I'm a big fan of their curiosity and I am always willing to teach them Spanish or help them with the school.

A little bit about me

I am a fifth grade teacher in the north shore suburbs looking for a part time job this summer (and summers to follow if needed!). This is my third year as a fifth grade teacher, and I have taught kindergarten and first grade. Currently, in fifth grade I teach a co-taught class that is both general education and special education. I was an age level director for 10-12 year olds at Banner Day Camp, and before that a camp counselor for many years. Prior to that I was a nanny for two different families. At age 15 I was in charge of three preschool day camp classes that went on all summer. I am the oldest of six children, so I have been working with children my whole life! I have been babysitting since I was 12. I am easy going, a. fast learner, active, social, organized, and most importantly love to work with children! I can bring my talents as a teacher to this summer :)
