A little bit about me

Hi! I’m Tessa — a Chicago-based nanny who’s equal parts responsible, fun, and calm in the chaos. I’ve worked with kids of all ages and genuinely love becoming part of a family’s routine, whether that means school pickups, snack negotiations, or dance parties in the kitchen. I’m creative, quick on my feet, and always bring good energy. I’m CPR-certified, super reliable, and happy to help with light tidying, meal prep, or pet love. I’m currently looking for a nannying role in Lakeview East or Lincoln Park — part-time or full-time — and would love to connect!

A little bit about me

To Whom It May Concern,

My name is Gladys Gonzalez. I have a high school diploma, certification as a medical assistant, and training in early childhood development. I am also CPR certified and passionate about working with children.

I have over 20 years of experience working in daycare, where I cared for children of all ages and supported their emotional, social, and cognitive growth. In addition to my daycare experience, I have also worked as a nanny for a set of twins and their older brother, providing personalized care in a home setting.

Throughout my career, I’ve developed strong skills in creating a safe, nurturing, and structured environment where children can thrive. I take great pride in helping each child reach their full potential while building strong relationships with families.

Thank you for taking the time to learn about me. I look forward to opportunities where I can continue making a positive impact in the lives of children.

Sincerely,
Gladys Gonzalez
