More About Me
Relevant experience where I also cared for children were...
I have 13+ years experience as a high school special educator. I also just had twins three years ago so I have lots of experience and I’m very comfortable with kids of all ages.
Activities I enjoy doing with children...
I love doing things outside and inside, definitely depending on the weather. But I love going to the park, walking around the neighborhood, playing outside in the backyard and splashing around with water at a splash pad. I also enjoy doing inside activities like crafts, coloring, learning letters, or even playing with blocks.
The most important part about being a nanny...
I really think that the most important part about being a nanny is to make sure the children are always safe, but also have fun. In addition, it is important to make sure the children eat on a schedule and also have a scheduled nap time. Lastly, it’s important to have a daily schedule so that the children are comfortable with you on a daily basis.
My experience with special needs children...
I have 13+ years of experience in special education. I was a high school special education, teacher, and I was also the case manager of a K-8 charter school in the city of Chicago. I graduated from Lewis University with my bachelors in elementary education and special education.
The most important part about being a nanny...
I am a pretty easy-going person that loves to laugh and play. I tend to always have special moments with children and it’s always positive.

Hi! My name is Miriam. I am a creative, patient, and detail-oriented nanny who genuinely enjoys spending time with children. I am newer to nannying, but I have a little 9-year old brother (the age gap between us being 14 years!) who is my best friend and who I spend a lot of time with. I have also worked with children ages 8-11 for violin lessons, and still do (for about 2 years now).

I am most comfortable working with children ages 1-10 and my availability includes weekdays only.
