Full-Time Nanny Available in Oak Forest, IL: Kelly S.
Hello! Growing up i’ve always dreamed of being a mom and taking care of kids. I never had any younger siblings growing up so i’ve always naturally just wanted to be around kids. I started off taking a child care class in high school where we created mini lessons to help the kids advance with english, writing, math, using their fine and gross motor skills. I enjoy being with kids because nothing is better and more rewarding than watching a child learn and be so excited when they understand what’s going on around them. I feel like the most important time in someone life is their childhood and knowing that i can make the best impact and give them the best care possible gives me comfort. I look forward any opportunities in the future!
