The most important part about being a nanny...
Connecting with children and teaching them valuable lessons that they can carry with them throughout all different life stages.
The most important part about being a nanny...
The sweetest thing that's ever happened to me took place when I worked for a daycare, taking care of one-year-olds. One of them particularly favored me and always sat on my lap and tugged on my hair. Every day, I would put him down for his nap and I soon began to sing him to sleep (he was a rambunctious kid and it took a while for him to fall asleep).
Anyway, one day I was singing and he was staring up at me with big blue eyes. And then... he put his two tiny fists together, which is sign language for 'more'. He learned how to do it earlier in the day. And he was telling me in the only way that he knew how, that he wanted 'more'.
It’s moments like this that I am truly grateful for working in the childcare field.

Part-Time Nanny Available in Chicago, IL: Mary M.
I'm an active and thoughtful caregiver with extensive experience caring for children. From a young age, I began caring for children which evolved into nannying and later assisting preschool classrooms, and more recently as a professional educator in Chicago Public Schools. K was a kindergarten teacher for 9 years, changing elementary and middle school positions for my last 4 years teaching. I have recently stepped away from teaching to be one more available to the needs of my own children, Liam (13) and Daisy (11). I am looking for moderate work hours, between 20 and 40 hours per week. I hope that my availability and goals align well with your needs. I am highly motivated and actively looking to acquire a nanny position. I would love to meet with you to begin the process of the interview. Thank you so much! Mary Zaug [phone number hidden]
