A little bit about me

I am 27 years old. I come from a very large family with a lot of children and pets. I have 11 siblings and more nieces and nephews than I can count. I enjoy reading, listening to podcasts, going on long walks with my dog, and cooking. I have been nannying alongside working my other job as the AGM and Beverage Director of a bar. Unfortunately, due to Covid I have lost both. My bar closed and the family I have been working with for four years has moved back to Vegas. I am deeply saddened by this because I had gotten so close to him throughout the years and watching him grow was nothing short of amazing. I helped potty train him and we had plenty of fun adventures around Chicago. I think there is no better time than now to meet and become part of a new family!

I am willing to help a family in need specifically in Chicago Illinois (50mi range) or in San Antonio Texas (50mi range) but location IS NOT an issue :))

A little bit about me

I have childcare experience since my youth, and took early childhood classes during college, but then concentrated on a broader field to serve families at a wider scale. After years in social services, I 'fell back' into childcare (& 'nannying'), which I've been doing for several years now, ranging from newborns to older youth & some with special needs.

I'm sensitive & adaptable to child's needs/ cues for specific needs, scheduling/ adhering to naps & also enjoy partaking in transitions/ milestones! I can do light house-keeping, local errands/ grocery shopping, laundry, bath-time, meal preparation (including introduction to solids & Baby-Led Weaning, as desired), well as engage children in fun, educational activities, community walks/ parks, etc!

Part of my philosophy is shadow a child, making sure they are safe & allowing them freedom in exploration & expression thru nurturing & creating a safe environment!

I can provide references and further detail upon an initial contact.

Hi! Corrie here! I am a 23 year old student at University of Michigan. Currently doing online schooling for obvious reasons. I love children very much.
