A little bit about me

Hello! I’m a dedicated nanny with over 20 years of experience caring for infants and young children, and I truly enjoy helping little ones learn and grow. I’ve had the pleasure of working in various neighborhoods in Chicago, including Lakeview, Lincoln Park, Rogers Park, Streeterville, and Evanston, as well as the NW suburbs.

As a nanny, I’m passionate about creating a safe, loving, and stimulating environment where children feel happy and curious every day. I love exploring the neighborhood with little ones—whether it’s making new friends at the playground, visiting the library in all kinds of weather, or turning a walk into an adventure. Families often tell me they appreciate my focus on early learning, strong dedication to maintaining routine, and the way I help children connect with the world around them. I’m committed to professional development, with training in first aid, CPR, and early childhood education, as well as experience in a NAEYC-accredited preschool.

A little bit about me

Im currently studying Biology with a focus on Genetics. I’m in my final year and excited to be just one year away from earning my bachelor’s degree. I’ve always been passionate about science and the way it helps us understand life on a deeper level, especially in the field of genetics.
I’ve also always had a natural connection with kidsI love spending time with them, learning from their curiosity, and helping them grow. Growing up, my family worked in household roles like housekeeping and house management, and they often took me along. So from a young age, I got to see what it means to be responsible, organized, and attentive to others’ needs. That experience really shaped the way I carry myself today.

Outside of school and work, I love being outdoors, trying new foods, and finding little adventures around the city. Whether it’s going to a street market, spending time with family, or just relaxing with a good movie, I like to stay balanced and appreciate the small things in life.
