A little bit about me

Hi! My name is Cassandra, I have over 20 years of experience with children. I also have Early Childhood Education credits from Harper College. I have always loved working with kids. I enjoy the time spent, teaching and watching a young child grow! It brings me a lot of happiness to care for children. I have worked in elementary schools and well as daycares. I have many references as a personal, loving nanny as well. I would love the opportunity to start with a new family somewhere close to my home in Edison Park but am open to driving some distance as well. I love to read, sing, play outside, do art projects and other activities that help a young child’s development! I have been CPR and first aid certified multiple times and willing to renew if that makes the family most comfortable. I am familiar with housekeeping as well but I prefer to have the main focus on the care of the child. Preferably working 3-4 days a week! Thank you :)

More About Me

Relevant experience where I also cared for children were...

I started off working at the elementary school district in Northbrook when I was 16 years old. I worked there for about 4 years until I got enough ECE college credits to work full time at a daycare. After a few years working in a daycare I become a nanny for a wonderful family in Evanston while their son was 6 months old. I have worked for 4 families as a nanny and loved every minute of it! I got hired as a nanny right before covid hit and unfortunately could no longer start the position. Now that I have moved away from the city, I am looking for a new family closer to my home!

Activities I enjoy doing with children...

I love reading, singing, dancing and being silly to make the child laugh :)

I have always loved art and being creative, especially with children.

I love being outdoors whenever I can! Ideally when it’s warmer :)

The most important part about being a nanny...

Being a nanny means to have that personal connection with the child and the family. To understand the needs and wants of the parents and to make sure you make them know how important their child is to you, and that everyday your main goal is to love and care for their child.

The most important part about being a nanny...

Some of my favorite nanny moments has always been when I get to help and experience the baby to crawl and then to walk! Those types of milestones that are so precious and we practice are such a joy to see!
