A little bit about me

Hi! My name is Grace, and I have over 4.5 years of full-time nanny experience caring for children from infancy through early childhood. I spent 3.5 years with my first nanny family and 8 months with my most recent family, caring for three children of different ages, including an infant.

My childcare approach combines gentle parenting, clear boundaries, and positive discipline. I love creating Montessori-inspired activities, doing arts and crafts, encouraging imaginative play, and exploring outdoors. I believe play and connecting with nature are essential to children’s growth and development.

I also have experience with children’s meal preparation, light child-related housekeeping, maintaining routines, and creating safe, nurturing environments. I value open communication and building trusting relationships with parents. In the future, I hope to become a foster parent. Being a nanny is rewarding because I love helping children feel loved, confident, and supported as they grow!

More About Me

The most important part about being a nanny...

The most important thing to me as a nanny is creating a safe and loving environment where children feel understood, respected, and supported. I want every child in my care to feel comfortable being themselves, expressing their emotions, and know they have someone they can always count on. I believe in guiding children with patience, gentle parenting, and clear boundaries while also encouraging their independence, creativity, and confidence. I love helping children learn and grow through play, exploration, and meaningful everyday experiences. Above all, I want to make a positive and lasting impact on their lives and help them feel secure as they learn discover the world around them.

The most important part about being a nanny...

My favorite moment was with my first nanny family: to set the scene it was fall of last year and my nanny kid (who was around 5) and I were taking a walk along the Naperville riverwalk. We had noticed they were draining the fountain water into the riverwalk, so we just stood there and watched the water get lower for a good while. As we walked closer to the hose that was draining the water, all of a sudden it flew out of the river and was spraying water all over the place! We were still far away enough to not get wet, but we both bursted out laughing because it was so unexpected, and my nanny kid brought it up for days after!
