"I hired Victory in 2022 when she was a grad student at U of C, and I can confidently say that she was the best addition to our family that we could’ve asked for.
I have a 3 year and she absolutely adores Victory, which put me at ease since my kid hardly likes anyone 😂 It was clear that Victory was 100% dedicated to my daughter’s wellbeing and development. She also helped with potty training which was a plus!
I honestly cannot recommend Victory enough, she’s always gone above and beyond for my daughter and if my family was still living in Chicago, she would definitely still be our nanny!"

More About Me
Relevant experience where I also cared for children were...
Most recently, I was a Special Education Teacher at a Chicago Specialty School. There, I catered to neurodiverse children who were diagnosed with Autism, ADD, ADHD, and a variety of behavioral and learning disabilities.
Activities I enjoy doing with children...
I love embracing their boundless energy and sense of wonder. One of my absolute favorites is going on adventurous nature walks. Whether it's hunting for bugs, collecting leaves, or simply breathing in the fresh air, it's a fantastic opportunity to foster their curiosity about the world around them.
I also find great joy in engaging their creativity through arts and crafts. Whether we're painting, drawing, or making imaginative crafts from everyday materials, it's amazing to see their imagination come to life. I love encouraging them to express themselves and celebrating their unique artistic talents.
Ultimately, I believe that the activities I enjoy doing with children should inspire their growth, foster their creativity, and bring them joy. It's about creating experiences that leave lasting memories and contribute to their overall development in a fun and engaging way.

The most important part about being a nanny...
For me, the most important part of being a nanny is the incredible privilege of being a positive influence in a child's life. It's about creating a nurturing and safe environment where children can grow, learn, and flourish. I believe that building a strong bond with the children, understanding their individual needs, and supporting their emotional well-being are the key ingredients to being a great nanny. It's about being there for them, offering guidance, and being a role model they can trust and rely on. Seeing their smiles, hearing their laughter, and witnessing their development is what truly makes being a nanny such a rewarding and fulfilling experience.
