A little bit about me

Hi! My name is Danielle, I'm 25 and studying for my degree in art and sociology. I've recently made the move to Chicago from phoenix and am excited to start my life out here. Although I have not worked professionally with children, I have plenty experience being around and caring for little ones. I've helped my friends with their newborns and would often babysit my four and six year old nephews in Arizona. Most of my experience is in the restaurant industry as a server and supervisor and the hotel industry as a turn-down attendant and I am ready for a more nurturing and rewarding job involving kids and families!

A little bit about me

I am the oldest daughter of four, and the eldest cousin in my extended family-- I've been taking care of kids of all ages since I was old enough to take care of myself. I absolutely love kids and I empathize strongly with that age old saying, "It takes a village." As a nanny, my priority will be, not only the assured safety and happiness of your children, but your peace of mind. Nothing is more important to me than knowing that your baby is cared for.
I graduated from Lane Tech College Prep with a 4.5 GPA and studied nursing at a private liberal arts college in Minnesota for a year. In the past, I've worked at an art gallery, completing commissioned paintings, and more recently in kitchens on St. Olaf College campus. I have a big heart, a world of patience and an innate knack for care-giving!

A little bit about me

I have been a professional nanny for 5 years, caring for children of all ages! I'm currently a full time nanny for three wonderful children, unfortunately I will not be needed past May as the parents are teachers with summers off and their youngest is going to preschool in the fall. I have 2 bachelor degrees but found a love for nannying and haven't looked back. I have experience with learning disabilities and children with autism as well as some tutoring experience. I'm available starting the first week in June and am looking for a full-time preferably long term position!
