A little bit about me
Hi! My name is Evangeline, but I go by Joy. I’ve been caring for children for most of my life, starting with helping raise my younger brothers. At 12, I began serving in my church’s nursery, and by 13, I was working at a daycare facility—giving me nearly eight years of hands-on experience with children of various ages.
I am CPR and First Aid certified, and I have a valid driver’s license along with reliable transportation. Working with children has always been a true passion of mine, and I love creating a safe, fun, and nurturing environment where they can learn and grow.

A little bit about me
Hi! I’m a Chicago-based career nanny with experience caring for children from newborn through early school age. I bring a calm, emotionally intelligent presence into the home and adapt thoughtfully to each developmental stage—whether supporting infant sleep and feeding routines, guiding toddlers through independence, or helping older children build confidence and emotional awareness.
I value structure, clear communication, and partnership with parents. I’m comfortable managing busy schedules, preparing simple meals, planning enriching activities, and keeping children’s spaces organized. Families describe me as warm, intuitive, polished, and dependable. I genuinely love what I do and aim to create a safe, respectful environment where children feel seen, supported, and encouraged to grow.
