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.

A little bit about me
My name is Ariadna. I am 22 years old. I have been in Chicago for six years. I graduated from Lincoln Park High School. I'm currently looking for a full time nanny position. I have 4 years of experience taking care of new born babies up to 12 year olds. I Speak English and Spanish and always loved taking care of kids which is the reason I am trying to find a full time position as a nanny. I am really professional and respectful in my job which is why every family I had the pleasure to helped in the past adored me and they can provide great references for me. I love playing and keeping the kids entertained while at the job to great a bond with them. Based on my experiences I am willing to help with cleaning, cooking and helping with laundry for the kids if needed. All my vaccines are up to date, I don't smoke, love pets and like outside activities for summer if needed I also have my car.

Hi! For as long as I can remember I’ve been involved in childcare. I love the bond that can be formed between a nanny and a child. There is no such joy like that of assisting in raising children, and having some fun while doing so! I have studied general education and special education, numerous psychology courses, CPR trained, and am familiar with different methods of teaching.
