A little bit about me

I bring more than just care and reliability to my work as a nanny — I bring creativity, imagination, and heart. I believe childhood should be filled with wonder, exploration, and artistic expression, so I use my background in art to make every day a little brighter and more inspiring. Whether it’s painting, crafting, storytelling, or inventing fun new games, I love creating activities that spark curiosity and help children express themselves.

Alongside my creativity, I’m patient, responsible, and deeply committed to providing a safe, nurturing environment where kids feel valued and free to be themselves.

I’m the kind of nanny who turns ordinary days into opportunities for learning and laughter — and that’s what makes me stand out.

A little bit about me

the University of Chicago looking for part time nanny/sitter work. I’ve worked as a babysitter, summer camp counselor, tutor, and teacher’s aide. Some of my most rewarding experiences have been with families I’ve stayed with for years — if you’re looking for a long-term sitter or nanny, I might be the perfect match! I’m happy to provide references, including from a family I worked with for three years as a nanny/tutor. Outside of school, I enjoy trying new restaurants with friends, cooking (I was almost on Chopped Junior!!), playing board games, and going on little day-trip-adventures. I can comfortably look after 1-3 children! I am fully licensed, and I drive a 2026 Range Rover Velar which can comfortably fit 3 kids in the back seat. My car is rated as one of the safest luxury SUVs on the market, and I have a perfect driving history. I also do not drink or smoke.
