A little bit about me

Hi!
My name is Nuria and I am from Spain. I just graduated with an MBA. I love doing activities outdoors and traveling.
I speak three languages, going for the number 4, and I have had the opportunity to help kids learn Spanish during my time as a nanny.
I have worked as a live-in nanny for a year for two different families and had to stop because of school. These families had a 2 and 6-year-old boys and a 4 and a 10-year-old boy as well. Now, I am looking for a family that allows me to take care of their children and give them the best experiences while I start my own online business as a Networking Strategist.

Please feel free to ask for references! I live between S Michigan ave and E Roosevelt and I am willing to commute to you and do any kind of task as a nanny, dog sitter, or personal assistant.

A little bit about me

My name is Sara Ghazi Filali, and I hold a Master's degree in French and Francophone Studies from the University of Illinois at Chicago. As a French Teacher, I'm passionate about language and education, and I believe it's crucial for children to have the opportunity to learn and appreciate different cultures.

In addition to my educational background, I also have over 5 years of experience as a babysitter for various families. This experience has not only allowed me to develop a strong understanding of the needs of children but also the importance of creating a safe and nurturing environment.

As for my special skills, I'm fluent in French, and I can offer language enrichment to your children if that's of interest to your family. I can help them develop language skills and a deeper cultural appreciation for the French language.

What I want your family to know about me is that I'm dedicated, patient, and committed to ensuring the well-being and growth of the children I care for.
