A little bit about me

Hi! My name is Erin Driscoll. I am a child care worker based in Chicago and I am looking for a new family to nanny (full-time or part-time). I have around 10 years of experience in child care, and working with kids is one of my greatest passions!

I currently work at a daycare, but I am looking to get back in to nannying/babysitting. I am also a dance teacher on the weekends! I am very flexible and and looking to start as soon as possible!

Outside of child care, I am an artist, so I love to do activities involving dancing, singing, instruments, and art projects. I also love to incorporate outdoor activities and nature in to my care as much as possible!

A little bit about me

I've been a nanny for 6 years. I have taken care of kids between 3 months old and 5 years old.
I have been an after-school art instructor at a local nonprofit for one year. Where I manage 3-8 kids at a time. Create lesson plans to help grow children's skills to support their creativity.
My approach to child care is to be the extension of the parents and follow their guidelines. Overall, I place a priority on patience and meeting the emotional needs of your children. I'm a very hands-on, flexible & helpful person who would love to maintain the structure as well as a warm environment for your kids. While making the daily lives of you as parents easier.
