A little bit about me
I am an MSW social work student at Loyola Chicago. This means I have kind of weird availability hours, but we should be able to work out a schedule that’s good for both of us!
I spent the summer working as a clinical counselor at Hearts to Art, a theatre and arts-based summer camp for children ages 7-14 who have lost a parent. During this time I provided emotional support, crisis management, and therapeutic interventions, but also general childcare and developmental support. I also have a car and can speak conversational French.
I would love to learn more about your child/children so that I can help them learn and grow!

A little bit about me
Caring and fun Nanny of 12 years. Looking for a position where I can potentially bring my 1 year old. This is not a must. I love being outdoors and going on educational adventures. Going to the zoo, the aquarium, children’s museums, and parks are things I really love to explore. I am all about play based learning and letting children go at their own pace. I love to create developmental activities so I can help reach their milestones while having fun.

"Natalie is an extremely fun, friendly, caring, and energetic person - she came to work every day with a smile for our son and came up with countless ways to love and play with him from when he was five months old until he turned three and went to preschool (including during challenging covid times). She followed every guideline and rule we set out, and brought her extensive knowledge from experience to help us out as first time parents, too! She proactively found activities to take him to, to meet other kids (and even introduced us to our now best friends she met down the street!) - and came up with art, science projects, gross and fine motor skills, etc. She took him to music and gymnastics classes we signed him up for also. We even brought her on several family trips and still consider her part of our extended family. Natalie is a wonderful nanny, could not recommend her more!"
