A little bit about me
Hi! I was born and raised in California, and while the West Coast will always be home, the East Coast has long called to me. I visited Chicago once and felt an immediate connection—it stayed with me in a way no other city has. Now, at a point in my life where I feel the most stable I’ve ever been, it feels like the perfect time to make that transition, experience true city living, and settle into this next chapter with intention.
Professionally, I work remotely as an Account Manager for a luxury consignment company, where I’m immersed in the world of fashion, craftsmanship, and high-end design. I’m drawn to luxury because it values quality, longevity, and attention to detail—principles I naturally bring into childcare as well. Outside of work, I’m a travel enthusiast who enjoys discovering new places, spending time near the beach (which truly has my heart), exploring fashion and design, and embracing new experiences that bring perspective and balance to daily life.

A little bit about me
From a very young age, caring for children has been woven into my life and my heart. As the eldest sister of six, I grew up naturally nurturing, protecting, and guiding little ones, learning patience, responsibility, and unconditional love long before I ever held a professional role in childcare.
Being around children feels like home to me. I cherish their laughter, their curiosity, and their pure way of seeing the world. My greatest joy is creating a safe, gentle, and loving space where every child feels valued, comforted, and truly cared for.
For me, nannying isn’t just a job — it’s a calling rooted in love, compassion, and the belief that every child deserves to feel seen, supported, and adored. 💛

A little bit about me
Hi, I'm Annie! 👋
I'm a Chicago-based nanny with six years of full-time experience caring for kids from newborns to teenagers, including a colicky newborn and, in another family, six kids at once. I've done it all: feeding and sleep routines, school runs, homework, sports, rehearsals, and lots of park adventures.
I also love keeping the household running smoothly, from laundry, bottles, and meal prep to errands, appointments, and tidy, organized kids' spaces, so you come home to calm instead of a to-do list.
I'm a trained chef, so your kids get healthy meals they'll actually eat, and a strong swimmer who has taught kids to swim and ride bikes. I'm also a native German speaker from Austria, so if you'd love a second language at home, we can weave it in through songs, books, and games.
I believe kids thrive on warmth, consistency, and clear boundaries, and parents thrive on open communication. You'll always know how the day went. I'd love to meet your family! 💛
