A little bit about me
I have spent 5 years caring for children in many different capacities. From nannying to a sleep-away camp counselor I have done it all. I take pride in always showing up energetic and willing to meet children where they're at every day. I don't mind doing basic chores and household tasks around the house to help out. I look forward to getting to know both the children and their families!

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
Hi! My name is Savanna. I bring 10+ years of childcare and education experience and am currently completing my M.Ed. in Curriculum & Instruction. I work as an intern/ paraprofessional at East Prairie School District 73, supporting K–8 students with academics, emotional regulation, and individualized routines. My internship at East Prairie Elementary school ends Nov. 24th.
I’ve also worked as a long-term nanny and as a Lead Preschool Teacher at JCC Beth Emet, managing school pick-ups, driving to activities, homework help, meal prep, and keeping after-school routines running smoothly. I have a music background as well—I’m a singer/songwriter (Burr Oak) with a BA in Music—and I love using music in creative, grounding ways when appropriate.
