A little bit about me

Hello,

I’ve been nannying for 5 years and babysitting since I was 17. As a mom to a 6-year-old who loves sports, especially baseball and hockey, I bring both experience and passion to caring for children. I was raised on the Northside of Chicago and still reside in a northside neighborhood. (Go Cubs) I began nannying in a nanny share with two infants, which I thoroughly enjoyed, and I love working with multiple children. Over the years, I’ve cared for up to 6 kids at once. I consider myself a Montessori nanny, encouraging kids to be independent and introducing basics like sign language, Spanish, and French. For infants, I create activity bags using high-contrast colors to engage their visual development. I focus on teaching patterns, number, and letter recognition through fun activities, including crafts, circle time, and outings. I’m passionate about fostering a love for learning in a nurturing, active environment.

The most important part about being a nanny...

I love caring for kids and I really do love teaching them. The hugs I recieve at the end of my shifts always make me feel so appreciated by my littles and that I’m doing something right. I truly enjoy being a nanny there hasn’t been a time where I’ve not wanted to come into work and provide care.

The most important part about being a nanny...

I love teaching toddlers how to put together the letters in their name. It’s a proud moment for me and them when they run and tell their parents how to spell their name, how many letter they have in their name. I also enjoy tummy time milestones it’s hard work and sometimes comes with grumpy moments from an infant but it’s also a proud moment. Teaching them to walk is the best as well!!!

Hi! My name is Abbeli, and I’m currently a sophomore at DePaul University studying Economics. I’m a responsible, caring, and patient person who genuinely enjoys spending time with children.

Briana P. - Seeking Work in Chicago

Full-Time Nanny Available in Chicago, IL: Briana P.

Graduating high school, I worked part time jobs and began babysitting. I worked mainly with close family friends and slowly started getting recommended to their friends and family. I would babysit on days they had no school and parents had to work, evenings when parents wanted a night out, and in the summer time I would babysit while their parents worked. I previously wanted to be in the medical field as a career and slowly started to lose interest, but my love for kids has grown as I have gotten older and Im looking to pursue a career in education.
