A little bit about me

I am a caring, reliable, and experienced nanny with a strong background in early childhood education and caregiving. I have worked with infants, toddlers, and young children, supporting their emotional, social, and developmental needs in a safe and nurturing environment.

I bring patience, structure, and warmth to my work, and I believe in creating a calm, respectful routine that helps children feel secure and confident. I am attentive to children’s individual needs, encourage positive behavior, and enjoy engaging them through play, reading, music, and age-appropriate activities.

Families describe me as responsible, trustworthy, and deeply committed to the well-being of the children in my care. I value open communication with parents and take pride in being dependable and professional.

I am seeking a family that values consistency, respect, and a nurturing approach to childcare.

A little bit about me

Hi everyone!

My name is Marygrace! I’m a 25 year old woman- looking for a fill time nanny opportunity!

I am from Chicago and currently live in Lakeview East! I have many years of experience, with a large range of ages. From newborn to middle schoolers! My experience ranges from: babying sitting, nannying, lead teacher for toddlers, etc.
I have always been passionate about working with children. I enjoy creating a happy, nurturing environment for them. I also strive to build a good connection with all families I work for.

Additionally, I am more than willing to do extra responsibility as caregiver. Including light house work, meal prep, dog walking and errands. I do not have a car in the city, but do have a license. And am comfortable driving in the city in a provided car.

I would love the chance to meet and see if I am a good match for you and your family!

Best,

Marygrace :)

A little bit about me

Hi, my name is Kimberly LaRaviere. I’ve always been a nurturing and caring person, and I knew at an early age that I wanted to work with children. I was a Preschool Teacher for 10 years. I started to feel the burnout, but wanted to still work with children, so I’ve decided to become a nanny in 2018 and I’ve been one ever since! I love teaching too, but love the personal nature of caring for children and families closely. I absolutely love being a nanny, and I will be a welcome and loving addition to your family.
