A little bit about me

Hi! I'm Lauren, I am going to graduate in May with a degree in psychology and minor in child studies and youth development. I’m looking to move to Chicago and continue working with children and families before pursuing a masters degress in the future. I've been working with kids for about 6 years now. I have experience working in a childcare setting, as an after school sitter and tutor, and full time summer nanny. I’m comfortable with all ages from newborns to young teens.
I love all sports, Disney movies and Star Wars! I truly love spending time with children and would be thrilled to have the opportunity to continue doing so.

A little bit about me

Hi my name is Lexi! I am a former EMT student with CPR certification. I am also mother to a one year old boy. I am currently a stay at home mom looking to go back to work as a nanny. My availability is every weekday starting at 7:30 (but negotiable) and no later than 5 pm, but that is also negotiable. I love being crafty and encourage play time rather than screen time. I am a very empathetic person, who has a lot of patience. I also love outdoors and being outside when the weather permits! I have a car as well, that can fit 2 car seats, and sit an extra person in addition to the car seats. Please don’t be afraid to reach out! I have a list of references and a nanny resume as well :) Hope to hear soon!
