"From the very beginning it was clear that Grace had a gift for working with children. She became our nanny for our 3 children, who were ages 3, 5 and 7 at the time. She managed every aspect of our after-school routine with ease, from picking them up, preparing snacks and activities, making dinner and getting them ready for bed. Caring for 3 kids with different personalities at different developmental stages is no small task, but Grace made it effortless. She is so patient, nurturing, playful and loving. She has a calm reassuring presence that our kids naturally gravitated to, and she built genuine relationships with them based on trust and kindness. Just as important, she was beyond reliable, and since me and my husband worked full time knowing Grace would always be there, on time and fully engaged, gave us tremendous peace of mind. Years later, Grace is such a special part of our family. She is one of a kind. Any family would be so fortunate to have her care for their children."

More About Me
Relevant experience where I also cared for children were...
I've worked as both a lead and assistant teacher at a daycare facility (mainly ages 2 and 3), worked as a nanny while living in downtown Chicago for a family with 3 children (ages 8, 6 and 4) and also worked for an after school program right when I graduated high school with school aged children.
Activities I enjoy doing with children...
I love planning fun, engaging activities that help children learn while also having fun! Some of my favorite activities include arts and crafts, sensory bins, reading books, imaginative play, building forts, puzzles, baking, going for walks, trips to the playground, sidewalk chalk, bubbles, water play, and playing sports or any other gross motor activities and active games. I also enjoy helping with homework, encouraging creativity, and creating a safe, positive environment where children feel supported and excited to grow and learn!
The most important part about being a nanny...
To me, being a nanny is about so much more than just supervision, it's about becoming a positive and trusted role model. I love helping children reach milestones, explore their interests, and build confidence while making everyday moments fun and memorable. My goal is always to create a safe, happy environment where children feel loved and parents feel completely at ease knowing their children are in good hands.
My experience with special needs children...
I have had experience working with special needs children when I was a daycare teacher. There were several occasions where I had children with special needs in my classroom. I work to make sure that these children get their needs met in whichever ways possible and make sure to prioritize making a safe and comfortable environment for them as well. One of my strongest character traits is patience and this is something I prioritize when working with special needs children and all the children in my care as a whole.
The most important part about being a nanny...
One of my favorite memories working as a nanny involves a day where all 3 children were on Summer vacation and we spent the entire day doing fun activities together. We were able to go to Lincoln Park zoo, grab ice cream at their local ice cream shop and stop at their favorite neighborhood park. We also made frequent trips to the trampoline park close by on rainy days. It was important to me to make sure that the children had a fun-filled Summer with lots of engaging activities that they would never forget.
