A little bit about me

I have 5 years of childcare experience starting from babysitting to full time nanny of 3. I am extremely trustworthy, persistent, patient, and organized which are key traits in raising a child. I believe that staying with a family long term is important because it’s crucial that children have a certain level of consistency and it helps the bond between the nanny and the family.

A little bit about me

First off I'm going to start off by saying, I have always loved children. I've been babysitting and looking over kids since I was 8 years old. I have raised my 3-year-old nephew from new born and still working with him. Being his second mom has taught me more than anything else in this world: it taught me patience, honor, forgiveness and that life is too short to be sad! I love my nephew with everything in me and I hope to spread that love with more children and people in general. I am very good a teaching and tutoring. My strengths are reading, math and writing. I am also strong at communication, I believe it's key to a better future! Like everyone else I do have a weakness and that is wanting to please everyone. I feel that if I can make everyone happy then it not only heals them but it heals me. I'm 18 years old and I can't wait to meet new people and adventure! One day I want to become a writing teacher for kids and teens, I feel that writing is a way to escape the world!

A little bit about me

Hi there,

My name is Gina Mirando, I've been working as a professional full time career nanny for ten years. I have experience with newborns, twins, multiples and a nanny share. I’d describe myself as a loving, patient and active nanny. I love helping newborns hit their milestones and getting them on a schedule. I take the initiative to plan age appropriate field trips and classes specific to the neighborhood I’m working in at the time. This includes music, movement/dance, play groups, Lincoln Park Zoo, Green City Market, Alfred Caldwell Lily Pond, The Nature Museum, Children’s Museum, Art Institute, Shedd Aquarium, Field Museum and Planetarium.

Currently, I’m seeking a full time position of 40+ hours with at least a one year commitment but preferably longer. Besides work I enjoy taking my dog to the beach/park, dinner/concert dates with my husband and yoga.

I look forward to connecting further to share my resume, references and letters of recommendation. 

Warmly,
Gina Mirando

A little bit about me

I am 25 years old, and graduated from the University of Missouri in May of 2017. After college, I was a nanny for a wonderful family of 3 in Orlando. I then went on to become an International Flight Attendant for one of the major 3 airlines. However, I stopped flying in March and I am now back at home with an extremely open & flexible schedule.

Looking after kids has always been something I have found to be fun, and I love being able to have a positive impact on their life. I have over 10 years of child care experience, and I have watched families with kids ranging from 3 months - 14 years. I have taken care of infants, twins, children with special needs and many children at once.

My availability starting January 2021 is Monday-Friday (any hours), and some weekends if needed. I can also provide cooking/cleaning/laundry as part of child care. If you think I would be a good fit then please send me a message. I look forward to hearing from you!
