A little bit about me

I am 20 years old and graduated from Hersey High school in 2022, and now live in highland park with my boyfriend. I have 5+ years of childcare experience ranging from babysitting, swim instructing, tumbling coach, after school directing and much more! I have experience with special needs children- my brother has autism and I have played the big sister role in my family's life even though he is older. And have helped host my highschools "funner olympics" all 4 years. I'm looking for a family to to help and support as I guide their child/children with care. I will provide many fun crafts/sensary activities or games depending on your child's age. Including the basic care needs as in meal prep, laundry, light cleaning, and carpooling, and discipline (if needed). I hope you're children will not only think of my as their nanny, but as a role model/friend. I am currently taking slow paced online classes which I am doing on my own time, giving my undivided attention to your cuties!

A little bit about me

Hello! My first jobs were all in childcare, in middle school I stared babysitting and continued through high school where I started working in Sunday schools. In college I was involved in volunteer tutoring programs for local children from low-income or otherwise disadvantaged families, and spent time at a high school working with kids to create projects about social issues they were passionate about. In 2019 I was a camp counselor at Camp Galileo, and I have worked as a para-teacher in a seventh grade science classroom. During the pandemic I worked at an at home daycare for kids five and under, and got experience preparing meals for babies/toddlers, cleaning up after them, and keeping them entertained. I speak both Chinese and French, though not fluently, and I fancy myself a good homework helper. I'm a total crafter, and love planning activities and projects for kids of all ages to express their creativity, and be able to make something they are excited to show off and talk about!

A little bit about me

Hi my name if Jessica. I am a mom of three children 14, 16, 19 and two dogs. I have been a nanny for several years. However, back in 2020 I joined the corporate world but with recently life events it seems nannying has always been the consistent for me. I’m a very family oriented person. If I’m not working or getting things done in my house I am with them enjoying family dinners and exploring new places. I really do believe it takes a village to raise children and this is coming from someone who has needed a hand a time or two. It might be more than that but who’s counting. I have lots of nieces and nephew and I have had the pleasure of helping raising them. Getting to the see children grow and learn at every stage is magical. I’m hoping to find the right family where I can use my experience and knowledge and help their children grow and learn. I’m excited about getting back into nannying and seeing where this journey is going to take me.
