A little bit about me
My name is Halee and I live in Lincoln Park looking for a nanny position in the area. I graduated from Roosevelt University with a Bachelors in musical theatre and a minor in Psychology - focusing on early childhood development.
I'm a previous swim instructor working with kids as young as 6 months all the way to 12 years old. I am also up to date with my CPR and First Aid certification. In addition to that, I also have several years of daycare/summer camp experience.
I love music, animals, and adventures and I know I can bring excitement and passion into any nanny family I work with. I love kids of all ages but have most recently worked with toddlers.
I'm looking anywhere from 20-35 hours a week and have open availability. I have a valid drivers license with a clean record however, I don't have a car in the city. I'm also open to look after pets and do light house work in addition to nannying.

A little bit about me
As a childcare provider with a passion for children's growth and development, I bring 8 years of experience to the table. My previous babysitting roles have been fulfilling and have made me confident in providing reliable, nurturing childcare.
I understand the importance of open communication and keeping parents informed about their child's day. I prefer to follow the parents' preferred method of communication, whether it's through regular text updates or phone calls.
With a patient and calm demeanor, I'm able to effectively enforce household rules while maintaining a friendly and approachable nature. I have experience with all ages. I enjoy playing various games with children, including board games, puzzles, educational games, etc.
A little bit about myself: I have 2 nephews who I am very close with and love dearly. My family has owned two day cares. I have a puppy of my own and have a huge love for pets as well. I am also a part time student and I also love to cook.
