More About Me

Relevant experience where I also cared for children were...

I just graduated from Michigan State University with a degree in Lower Elementary. I have been in and out of classrooms for the last 4 years throughout the program. I was placed in classrooms ranging from Pre-K (3/4 yr olds) through 3rd grade (9 year olds). During college I nannied 3 children (twins 10yrs old, boy 5 yrs old) for 3 years. I would plan activities, provide transportation, and provide basic care. I also helped with family needs (laundry, dogsitting, vet visits, etc.) I also worked at a home daycare for 2 years in high school caring for children aged 3months-12 years. This continued as a summer job throughout college. Aside from this work experience, I have lots of babysitting experience, and experience with children in my own family (nieces and nephews). I hope to add more to my experience as a nanny based in Chicago!!

Activities I enjoy doing with children...

Swimming, sports, playing outside, library, parks, etc.

My experience with special needs children...

I have taught children with both physical and learning disabilities as well as provided basic childcare to a child who required extra care due to a physical disability

Hi! My name is Jackie Knebl. I am an educator with a license to teach birth to sixth grade. Babysitting was my first job and I have continued to work with children since. I worked in a daycare for 3 years in an infant classroom. I worked with 8 infants ages 2-12 months at a time. I focused on providing developmentally appropriate learning experiences for infants like art, movement, and nature. I then worked as 6th grade science teacher. I developed and executed hands-on learning opportunities for my students. I just moved to Chicago and I am excited to continue my career working with children!
