A little bit about me
I am currently a rotationally full-time nanny and house manager in a formally staffed household. On my working days, I am not only the primary caretaker of three children, but also the family assistant and over-seer of the primary residence. While the children are in school, I have created and implemented inventories of household goods and weekly grocery pars to streamline my monthly purchasing. I take immense pride in my maintenance of the virtual family calendar and organized yearly schedule of vendors, household repairs and construction projects.
While the children are home, I adore utilizing every aspect the city of Chicago offers for enrichment and expanding their worldly outlook. Frequently, traveling with the family is required and includes multi-week trips to domestic and international destinations. This is not including the relocation of the entirety of the household to the secondary residence in MA every summer.

Hi I am currently a Neonatal ICU nurse and have been for the last 2.5 years, so I have plenty of experience with babies. I love taking care of infants and toddlers. I have been a nanny for many different families all throughout high school and college with ages ranging from 1-12. I currently work night shift as a nurse, so I am pretty flexible during the weekdays! I also have a car and can help with transportation. I love taking care of kids and would love to help your family out:)
