A little bit about me

I’m 17 years old and a proud senior in high school from the West Side of Chicago, currently working hard to save for college next year. Family means everything to me. I have a 13-year-old sister who I always say I helped raise, and being there for her has shaped who I am. I come from a big, loving family filled with kids, so caring for children has always come naturally to me. I love babies, enjoy helping families however I can, and have always had a passion for being a nanny. My goal is to provide a safe, caring, and positive environment where every child feels loved, supported, and encouraged to grow.

More About Me

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

I have experience caring for children of all ages through babysitting my younger cousin, assisting my mom with nannying, and helping in a daycare setting. These experiences have taught me patience, responsibility, and the importance of creating a safe, fun, and nurturing environment for every child. I truly enjoy working with kids and love being someone families can depend on.

Activities I enjoy doing with children...

I love keeping kids engaged with fun, creative activities! Some of my favorites include drawing, reading, board games, trips to the park, nature walks, movie time, and fun lunch outings. I also enjoy coming up with hands-on, non-screen activities that encourage creativity, learning, and play while making sure children have a great time.

The most important part about being a nanny...

The most important thing about being a nanny is making sure every child feels safe, loved, and cared for. I believe building trust, being patient, and creating a positive environment helps children grow with confidence. Knowing I can make a difference in a child’s life, even in small ways, is what matters most to me.

The most important part about being a nanny...

My favorite part of being a nanny is watching children grow into happy, confident, and independent little people. Seeing them learn new skills, reach milestones, and feel comfortable exploring the world—whether Mom and Dad are there or not—is incredibly rewarding. Knowing I’ve helped them feel safe, supported, and loved is the best feeling.
