A little bit about me
Hi! I'm Grace, a Chicago-based graduate student, artist, and experienced nanny. I've been nannying and babysitting for over 8 years, working with children of all ages, from toddlers to teens. I recently graduated from New York University with a BFA in Photography and will begin my MFA in Photography and Ceramics at the School of the Art Institute of Chicago this fall.
In addition to nannying, I've worked as an art teacher at Bryn Mawr Summer Camp and have taught private art and ceramics lessons. I love helping kids explore their creativity, build confidence, and stay engaged through hands-on activities, outdoor time, and imaginative play.
Families describe me as dependable, patient, organized, and easygoing. Whether it's homework help, school pick-ups, meal prep, or planning fun activities, I strive to create a safe, supportive, and positive environment for every child. I have excellent references and reliable transportation.

A little bit about me
Hello! I would love to get to know and cater to the unique needs of your home and loved ones! I have babysat for friends and family since I was 14. My first long term paid gig was for a toddler. I worked in the nursery of my church throughout highschool and taught kids swimming lessons as a lifeguard as well. From [phone number hidden] I worked full time as a special education teaching Assistant in a public elementary school in Saint Paul, MN. I have extensive experience with kids with autism or other developmental delays as well as twins! I have always loved making up games and getting to know and caring for little ones. Currently, and for almost a year now, I am working at a preschool/daycare with ages 3 months to 4 years depending on the day and am really loving the younger ones. I am in Old Town, Chicago and have a car if you are further away! Although my experience is very limited with older kids (9yrs+) I would love to get a chance to know yours!

A little bit about me
Growing up I’ve always wanted to work in the child care field. I have about 5 years of experience caring for children. In high school, I had the opportunity to take a child development course and earned an internship with CPS as a Teacher’s Assistant. Within all of those experiences, I got the opportunity to not only care for the children but to be a part of their growth and development. I believe children are the future, and what better way to shape them for the future than to have adults around them be positive role model? It’s important to me that children are cared for correctly by people who love doing so. I recently transitioned from a role as lead teacher for 2 years olds to being a Full Time Nanny. As well as attending Rasmussen University, working towards my degree in ECE.
