A little bit about me

My name is Carreona I’m 19 years old, and I live in Chicago. I’m currently studying Child Care Development, and I’m passionate about working with children. I have experience as an older sister to five siblings, which has taught me patience, responsibility, and creativity in caring for kids of all ages.

I love animals, dancing, traveling, reading, and listening to music. Cooking is another passion of mine—I enjoy preparing meals that kids love and making snack time fun and healthy. I’m energetic, reliable, and enjoy creating a safe, engaging, and nurturing environment for children to learn and play.

I would love the opportunity to bring my skills, enthusiasm, and love for children to your family!

A little bit about me

Hi! Hi! I’m a warm, bubbly, and active nanny with years of experience caring for children from infancy to adolescence. I bring a playful, creative spirit and love engaging kids in music, sports, art, and outdoor adventures. I’m deeply empathetic and emotionally intuitive, which helps me connect with each child and support their unique needs. I thrive in roles where I’m a trusted teammate to parents. I love helping children grow through hands-on learning, big imaginations, and real-life experiences. I’d be thrilled to work with an open-minded, active family who values kindness, exploration, and quality time.
