A little bit about me
Hello! My name is Ari and I am so excited to work with your family! I am 25 years old from East Stroudsburg, PA. I moved to Chicago a year ago and have been loving it. I love the outdoors and exploring, as well as building a fort and watching movies on a rainy day. Aside from being a nanny, I have worked in theatre since I was 7 years old. By 15 years old, I was stage manager for my local theatre's children shows. I managed between 10-30 kids at a time with ages ranging between 4-13 years old. I held this position for 3 years. Working with kids is so much fun. I love teaching and watching them grow. I hope to have the opportunity to work with your family!

A little bit about me
I sincerely believe the greatest gifts in life are children. Caring for them, as a nanny, for over 15 years brings joy to my heart and soul. My childcare experiences started at a young age, with my nieces and nephews. I enjoyed caring for them, teaching them, and nurturing their growth. My professional knowledge of child development evolved while working with the children from the Boys and Girl Club in Chicago. Since that time, I have gained vast experience while being a nanny for many children, ranging from babies to teenagers. Personally, the most rewarding part of being a nanny is being an integral part of a child emotional, intellectual, and physical growth. I enjoy guiding and nurturing them emotionally. I take pride in teaching them with age appropriate modalities. I like to promote their physical growth by making them healthy meals and keeping them active. I also love to spend time with them outdoors at the park and exploring the environment.

A little bit about me
I have over 20 years of experience in early childhood education, including time as a preschool teacher and nanny for children ages infancy-school ages. What I really enjoy is working more closely with a family and supporting children in a consistent, nurturing home environment.
I focus a lot on creating structured but flexible routines, helping with emotional development, and keeping kids engaged through play and learning (without relying on screens). I’m also happy to help with things like meal prep, organization, and keeping the day running smoothly for you.
Families I’ve worked with appreciate that I’m dependable, calm under pressure, and proactive—I don’t just “watch” children, I support their growth and make your day easier.

"To Whom It May Concern: I am writing to highly recommend Kara Fischer as a nanny for your child care needs. She performed nanny duties for my 3 and 5 year old sons from January 2020 to ongoing. Kara is an incredibly patient individual who takes the time to meet even the rowdiest kids' needs. Loving, and hard working full-time nanny for my children since they were just infants. She has a good understanding of the needs and abilities of children and is warm, nurturing, and responsive to our children. Kara has always brought a professional, thoughtful, organized, and expert approach to the care of our children. Kara isolates important issues within our children's lives, investigates literature for the best possible means to address the issues. The end result is that our children are happily and consistently setting goals, (both personal and developmental), and reaching them. I wish her all the best."
