"Natalie is warm and caring and a natural nurturer. My almost three year old son loves “Natawee” and has obviously benefited from her attention to his early learning and development - practical skills, numbers, abcs, etc. She also has lots of energy, stamina and patience, taking on three boys under four for both indoor activities and trips to the playground or beach. She has been careful and conscientious about pandemic protocol, as well. I highly recommend her!"

A little bit about me
I've been working with children since I was 14, teaching at western dupage special recreation association with differently abled kids. I've taught swim since then from ages infant to adult. Beyond that I worked as a chicago public school teacher for two years, then as a private art instructor/therapist/nanny from 2015 to now. The kids are grown up from that family enough to not need me around all the time but happy to give their mother as a reference. I play saxophone, piano and was a graduate/masters at the school of the art institute of chicago with a bfa in fine arts/art ed and a masters in art therapy.

A little bit about me
Hi! My name is Rachel. I’m 21 years old and am currently trying to go back to college. I’m currently a Behavior Technician with my BCAT specializing in kids with autism. I work at a facility that is far from my home, and I'm looking for something with an easier commute because of this snow! I’m a sister of an 11 year brother who I’ve lived with up until about a year ago. I have experience in babysitting him almost every day and I loved it! I’m willing to clean and keep up with pets and chores as well. I am also CPR certified with EMT training. Thank you for your time!
