A little bit about me

Hi!
My name is Leah! I have been working in the childcare field for about 8 years now being a nanny, as well as a preschool teacher. When time allows, I also help my sisters with their children who’s ages range from 9 months-4 years old. I studied at Columbia College, with a focus in Music to become a Music Teacher, but childcare is truly my passion!

I love children’s curiosity about the environment they live in, as well as the different activities that they engage in daily. I’m a believer of letting children explore while playing, and them being independent learners.

I am currently a preschool teacher M-F, but I am looking to transition out of that position due to some unforeseen circumstances. Being a nanny is my first love and any chance I get to go back to that field, I am elated to do so!

Isabel A. - Seeking Work in Chicago

Part-Time Nanny Available in Chicago, IL: Isabel A.

I'm Izzy and love working with kids! I've been called a "baby whisperer" nap and bed times are my specialty. I can tell when a baby is fussy due to sleep before even he/she knows why they feel discomfort. Reading books and lunchtime walks are my favorite ways of spending time with little ones. I'm aware they each have their own little personality and because of that I always keep an open mind and a flexible mindset as to what and how to spend time entertaining little ones,
