More About Me
Relevant experience where I also cared for children were...
With over 15 years in childcare, I bring a rich tapestry of experiences, from teaching in Head Start and Early Head Start programs to nannying and serving as a camp counselor. My journey has been a dynamic blend of nurturing young minds and creating vibrant learning environments. As an educator in Head Start and Early Head Start, I honed my skills in guiding children through crucial developmental stages. Nannying allowed me to provide personalized care and support to families, fostering strong bonds with children of all ages. My time as a camp counselor was filled with adventures and opportunities to inspire curiosity and teamwork. As both an infant and toddler teacher, I've had the privilege of witnessing the wonders of early childhood development, guiding little ones through milestones with patience and care. Through each role, I've embraced the joys and challenges of childcare with enthusiasm and dedication. With a nurturing spirit and a commitment to fostering growth.
Activities I enjoy doing with children...
As a nanny, I would enjoy engaging in a variety of activities tailored to the ages and interests of the children in my care. For infants, I would focus on sensory play, tummy time, and soothing activities like singing lullabies and gentle massages. For toddlers, I would incorporate age-appropriate crafts, outdoor play, and exploration activities to stimulate their curiosity and motor skills. Preschoolers would enjoy imaginative play, storytelling, and simple science experiments. For school-age children, I would organize educational games, sports activities, and creative projects to keep them entertained and engaged. Additionally, I would encourage reading together, cooking or baking, and outings to parks, museums, and other educational venues to expand their horizons. Overall, my goal would be to create a balanced schedule of activities that promote learning, creativity, and fun for children of all ages.

The most important part about being a nanny...
When a 2 year old that I use to take care of would wait for me at the window every morning to greet me because he was so excited to see me and tell me what happened after I went home. He also use to love to tell me what he wanted to do and what he wanted for lunch everyday.

Babysitter Available in Chicago, IL: Margaret C.
I bring over two decades of experience working with young children from toddlers to early elementary and I genuinely love this stage of life. I’m the kind of caregiver who gets down on the floor to build, create, and explore, while also holding a calm, steady presence that helps children feel safe and understood.
My background is in Montessori education, where I’ve worked as a classroom guide, school leader, and teacher trainer. That means I’m skilled at supporting independence, guiding behavior with respect, and creating engaging, developmentally appropriate activities (think art projects, practical life skills, storytelling, and outdoor exploration).
I’m attentive, communicative, and deeply tuned in to children’s needs, whether that’s helping a toddler navigate big feelings or supporting a child’s growing curiosity about the world. Families often describe me as warm, reliable, and thoughtful, with a natural ability to connect.
