A little bit about me

I came to the U.S. to Au pair in the suburbs, felt in love got married and continue working with many loving families in the city.
A few things I enjoy doing with the children I am responsible for: visiting parks, pools, zoos, libraries and museums. I love reading as well as doing fun art projects. I enjoy making home made organic meals for kids (including baby meals), do their laundry , I teach in a fun way children to put their toys away and make sure the home looks organized before I leave for the day. I will ensure you are updated daily on how your children’s' day was and be open to any feedback you may have.
I believe it is very important that children interact with others so I am fond of making play dates. Also, I think it is important to expose kids to counting, the alphabet, parts of the body and reading. I have vast experience with children of all ages .I am open to work for a family with pets, I am CPR certified and also trained in baby sign language.

Katie Gilbert

"In her care, our boys (age 1 and 4) were always kept safe, felt loved, and received pampering. She had a never-ending list of activities and fun ideas to do with the boys- swimming, attending museums, curating park picnics, going to the beach, and playing at the park were among the boys’ favorites. We always felt amazing knowing that the boys were safe and that they were able to experience all the wonderful parts of living in Chicago. She also made her apartment a “home away from home” for the boys. They loved going over to swim in her building’s pool and to utilize the hot tub! She communicated around what they were planning to do and ensured they always had all the proper equipment (e.g. sunscreen, bug spray, hats, extra mittens, etc.) Our boys love her, too! She comforted them , ensured that they tried new foods, and prioritized fun. Nae will always have a special place in our heart and family and we are grateful that she was the boys’ nanny."

The most important part about being a nanny...

I believe we are forming future loving individuals and I hope to be a part of making kids feel loved , cared so they grow to be their best amazing selfs.

my motto is…build them up, hold them up, and let them fly (then go cry in the closet).

The most important part about being a nanny...

I have so many to tell, but my favorite always include enjoying nature walks and picnics while cuddling and watching birds, butterflies or clouds pass by and wonder. Reading book under blankets in. Cold days with hot coco or baking banana breads. Being silly and hearing them being giggly monsters.
Oh, it’s just all so joyful.
