A little bit about me

I am available part time & interested in working on the weekends. After graduating from Ole Miss w/ a BA in political science in 2019, I worked as a live-in nanny to a wonderful family in Australia. While I’m a goofy person & like to bring that energy to my kids, I take my role as teacher, confidant, & guardian very seriously. My past experience has taught me to adapt my guardian style to reflect the needs of the child. This allows for better communication, builds trust in our relationship & helps the kids find confidence within themselves. I've also learned to make a plan & to also be prepared to abandon all plans & make something up on the spot! A childcare provider has to balance being the responsible trustworthy role model that a parent needs & the energetic, adventurous friend that the kids will respect & want to play with. I have this balancing act down pat which is why I think parents love to have me as a childcare provider!

Recent reference

"Peggy has been an integral part of my life for many years, first as my nanny and then as a member of my family. I am 40 years old, and we still keep in regular contact because she is family. Her dedication, kindness, and unwavering commitment to my well-being left an indelible mark on my life. Peggy's ability to create a nurturing and structured environment made our home feel like a safe space. She was always patient, attentive, and responsive, ensuring that I felt supported and cared for every day. Peggy has a natural gift for connecting with children, and she consistently demonstrated compassion, warmth, and an incredible work ethic. She was always proactive, helping with household tasks, organizing activities, and encouraging learning and development. Her genuine interest in fostering a positive and engaging environment helped shape me into the person I am today. My wife and I have a three-year-old son and if we lived in Chicago today, we wouldn’t hesitate to hire Peggy immediately."
