A little bit about me

Hello,

I’ve been nannying for 5 years and babysitting since I was 17. As a mom to a 6-year-old who loves sports, especially baseball and hockey, I bring both experience and passion to caring for children. I was raised on the Northside of Chicago and still reside in a northside neighborhood. (Go Cubs) I began nannying in a nanny share with two infants, which I thoroughly enjoyed, and I love working with multiple children. Over the years, I’ve cared for up to 6 kids at once. I consider myself a Montessori nanny, encouraging kids to be independent and introducing basics like sign language, Spanish, and French. For infants, I create activity bags using high-contrast colors to engage their visual development. I focus on teaching patterns, number, and letter recognition through fun activities, including crafts, circle time, and outings. I’m passionate about fostering a love for learning in a nurturing, active environment.
