A little bit about me
My care for children started when my mom and her friends always would say " Phyllis kids just love you, you"are a natural". When I was 17 yrs old, I was given an awesome internship as a teacher"s aid for first grade at Passages Charter Elementary School, located in Chicago IL. That experience opened a lot of doors for me. Not only did the school invite me back to help out with the children they offered me the after school instructor position, at the age of 19. The after school program was for children ages 6-10. My task was to make sure the children complete their homework and the left over time was on fun educational games.
I started nannying after I left high school. I met a lovely family that offered me a nanny/manager position for the summer. I was in charge of two 5 months old baby boys (twins) along with their 3-year-old sister. I was with this family for 4 years .
Doors continued to open, from getting babysitting gigs through the school to people requesting my services baste off of former employers.
I have been babysitting/ nannying for over 8years now! I was a former student athlete in college where I played soccer and ran track, so I am very active and love playing any kind of sports with the kids I take care of! I also love being outdoors, arts and crafts, going to amusement parks, and finding cool, new places to go around Chicago. When I graduated college I Ianded a job as a preschool teacher last year for several months. I met a family through my class that hired me to be a after school nanny.soon on after I also became her weekend nanny as well.
Teaching is awesome but I love the one-on-one interaction that comes with being a nanny. I am currently working for a family as a nanny house manager in Wilmette with two boys, ages 7 and 10. Although, I adore this family There will ...

What to Consider Before You Hire
Share your school's dismissal time, the days you need care, and how you will handle early dismissals, holidays, and school breaks. Confirm whether you need the nanny to drive, and whether they would be comfortable transporting several children. A regular schedule makes it easier to find a good fit.
