A little bit about me
In addition, I spent three summers as a nanny for an elementary aged child, organizing playdates, preparing lunches, providing supervision in the home and throughout the city, and implementing an incentive based educational program to combat summer learning loss.
I have also held summer positions with the Chicago Children's Theatre, Northwestern Center for Talent Development, and the Chicago Park District.
I have a car available, so I will be able to help with transportation as needed. I'm also willing to do light housework, meal prep, etc.

A little bit about me
I previously worked as a Senior Project Manager in tech and hospitality, giving me strong organizational skills for managing busy households. I also own a culinary company offering charcuterie, baked goods, and meal prep services—I love bringing that creativity into nanny work through baking days and cooking adventures with kids.
When I'm not working, I enjoy traveling, cooking, arts and crafts, and museum visits. I'm looking forward to connecting with families that value trust and collaboration. Helping children grow with confidence while supporting parents in building a peaceful home is my joy!
