A little bit about me

I am a Certified Nursing Assistant (CNA) with hands-on experience as a caregiver, as well as a preschool teacher. I have worked closely with infants, toddlers, and young children, supporting their daily routines, safety, emotional well-being, and developmental milestones. My background in healthcare has helped me develop strong skills in observation, patience, responsibility, and calm decision-making—especially in safety-sensitive environments.

I am CPR certified and trained to respond appropriately in emergencies. I am comfortable following structured routines, adapting to rotating schedules, and communicating clearly with families. I also understand the importance of flexibility in a first responder household and am open to long shifts when needed, while also appreciating extended periods of time off.

I am comfortable around dogs and would love the opportunity to become part of your family and grow with you as your family grows.

A little bit about me

Hey I am currently a Delivery Driver going to Harper College. I am looking to make money and help out a family in need of a nanny. Although I have no prior experience nannying I have helped looked after family members and their friends. I worked at Lou Malnatis in Palatine for 3 years and relied on Customer Service skills to maintain positivity throughout the store. Also I tutored friends at Fremd High School and got my CPR certification there as well. I'm looking forward to helping out around the house and looking after whoever needs it. Thank you.
