A little bit about me

Hello!
I’m currently a nanny in geneva for 3 kiddos the past 3 years. I also worked in a daycare 3.5 years before I started nannying. I am sad to leave my nanny family but I will be moving to lakeview east in August & looking to become a FT nanny again! I am still in school but it is completely online (no classrooms at all) & there is no video calls or zooms. Would love to chat more if you’re looking! 🙂

Former fundraiser for scholarships looking to get back into being a full time nanny. I have experience working with kids from ages 3 months to 12+ years.

I love arts and crafts, games (video and board!), reading all kinds of things and levels, music, enjoying walks and the park, museums and art galleries, and love baking and cooking. Would love to be available to your family full time to help ease your stress.
