A little bit about me

Hello, my name is Prysilla. I Currently live in the Elmwood Park area. I am looking for a long-term nanny position. I do currently work at a dealership in Lincolnwood. I also am off of school for the summer but will be going back in the fall for only two days out of the week, but it will be around 6pm. I used to nanny about two years ago but then I found the job I am currently at right now and just stood with this job for the mean time. I would love to be around kids again and do a lot of fun activities. I also love pets such as dogs so that would not be a problem. I do also have my own vehicle where I can commute to work. If you have any further questions, feel free to ask.

A little bit about me

I am the oldest daughter of four, and the eldest cousin in my extended family-- I've been taking care of kids of all ages since I was old enough to take care of myself. I absolutely love kids and I empathize strongly with that age old saying, "It takes a village." As a nanny, my priority will be, not only the assured safety and happiness of your children, but your peace of mind. Nothing is more important to me than knowing that your baby is cared for.
I graduated from Lane Tech College Prep with a 4.5 GPA and studied nursing at a private liberal arts college in Minnesota for a year. In the past, I've worked at an art gallery, completing commissioned paintings, and more recently in kitchens on St. Olaf College campus. I have a big heart, a world of patience and an innate knack for care-giving!
