A little bit about me
Hi! I’m a polished, dependable nanny and family assistant with a strong background in childcare, including my experience as a nanny during undergrad and being an aunt to seven children. I’m currently enrolled at National Louis University, and I bring a high level of organization, discretion, and attentiveness into every home I work in.
I’m comfortable managing both childcare and light household support—keeping routines running smoothly, assisting with schedules, and creating a calm, structured environment where children feel safe, engaged, and supported. I naturally connect with kids of all ages and pride myself on being patient, nurturing, and proactive. Families can rely on me to bring a warm presence while also maintaining professionalism and consistency in day-to-day care.
