A little bit about me

With a decade of childcare experience, I’ve found my passion in nurturing young minds. I began babysitting in high school and college, then taught preschool at Rainforest Learning Center, where I helped 3- to 5-year-olds achieve developmental milestones through engaging lesson plans focused on motor skills and social-emotional growth. Transitioning to nannying for the past seven years, I’ve gained valuable experience with families, including caring for multiples and premature babies. Holding a Bachelor of Fine Arts from the Art Institute, I love incorporating arts and crafts into my care. I’m energetic and fun, using redirectional discipline to create safe learning environments. With a solid understanding of developmental milestones from birth to age five, I’m excited to explore enrichment activities in Chicago and can’t wait to find my next wonderful family to support!

A little bit about me

Hi! I am Abbie. I am BLS certified and have 3-4 years of nanny experience ages 0-10.

I have a wide range of interests, and those closest to me would likely call me an adventure seeker. I love to try new things, spend time outside, and (sometimes) get a little messy. In my free time, you can find me reading, watercoloring, going on walks, or hanging with my friends.

Your kids would be in the best hands with me. I love to help them with school, spend time outside, watch movies, and teach them sports. I am also happy to help if you have any cats or dogs in the house and am willing to clean/tidy throughout the day.

I am a strong communicator, on-time, and intentional person and will provide you with daily updates if desired. Thank you for considering me!

A little bit about me

I am divorced, 37 years old women.
I live in Oak lawn. I have 15 years old daughter, who lives with father during school time. I live in Chicago since almost 10 years. I started as a house cleaner in service, after 2 years I became a weekly housekeeper for few families in Hinsdale. This families have kids, so very often I took a care about them, prepared meals and transport from or to school.
I quit my job to help my daughter prepare to high school and during first year of school. She is fine and ready to start a second year, so I am looking for a job and work with kids would be awesome!
I am creative, funny, smart and intelligent. Wouldn’t have a problem with reading or doing homework together. People describe me as highly empathetic person. Wouldn’t have a problem with walking animals too.
