A little bit about me
Hi my name is Isis I am 21 years old. I am a medical assistant but I plan on going back to school next year for nursing. I don't have much experience being a nanny however I used to babysit when I was in high school. I would love to be a nanny because I love being with kids also I want to be a pediatric nurse so I think more exposure to kids would help.

A little bit about me
My name is Melanie and I am 23 years old. I am very passionate about nature, animals, and art. I have many years of experience working with children, from teaching swim lessons to nannying. I currently stay at home with my two children, two (almost three) and six, but am looking to get back into working full time now that the summer is coming up and they will be busy with their activities. I am an advocate for gentle parenting, so I would take a kind and gentle approach with your children to help them reach developmental milestones and grow into their personalities. Because of my experience in child care and with my own children, I have many ideas for sensory play, outdoor play, and rainy days stored in my back pocket. I also have a dog, cat, and reptiles at home so I am comfortable with any and all pets your family may have.

A little bit about me
Hi, my name is Grace. I come from a large family (I'm one of 8 kids) and I have 1 nephew and 2 nieces. I attended South Suburban College for two years and played on their volleyball team. I've worked at a family practice doctors office in the south suburbs for the past two and a half years. During my time at the doctors office, I became quite interested in nutrition! Recently, I developed a passion for cooking. I love trying new things such as foods, activities, and crafts! I have several years of experience babysitting my younger siblings and nieces and nephews. I've nannied for a group of rambunctious kids and loved every moment of it! I cherish all the memories I've made with the children, and I can't wait to have the opportunity to make more!
