I’m a nanny because I have always had a great way with children. I am very good at teaching, creating fun activities and being a good example for children to follow. Children bring so much joy to my life. I love having a job that is fun and puts a smile on my face.


My past childcare experience I started babysitting for family friends and neighbors when I was 12 years old. While in High School I took all of the Child Development Courses and I worked at a Pre School all 4 years. After High School I babysat several times a year while I attended Cosmetology School. I decided to become a full time Nanny after I was done at Cosmetology School. I was debating whether or not I should go to college to become an elementary school teacher. I was a full time Nanny for 3 years and I worked for 2 different families daily. The first family that I worked for had one child. He was 18 months old. I watched him full time until he turned 5 years old. For the years I was his nanny we spent a lot of time doing learning activities, going on fun day trips to the zoo and other places he enjoyed. Once he was old enough to be in classes I took him a couple days a week to pre preschool classes at the park district and once he was in preschool I would drop him off and pick him up. During the hours he was at preschool I would run errands for his parents, clean the house and create fun projects for us to do during his free time. The second family that I worked for was for 2 junior high children. I would start my day working for them at 3pm when I would pick them up from school. I would bring drop them off and pick them up from their many activities during the week. While they were at their activities I would do laundry, pack their lunches for the next day, clean the house and run any errands that the parents needed done. When the children were home I would make them an after school snack and make sure they had their homework done and that they were studying for upcoming tests. 4 1/2 years ago I decided to stop working as a Nanny for both families and I started working full time for our family business that my father runs. Over the past 5 years I am still very involved in the younger boys life. I babysit for him when his parents need help and I have been tutoring him in spelling, reading, writing and math 2-3 days a week when I am done with my full time job. Though I do not have a teaching degree, his parents know how well he works and responds with me so they decided to ask me to help him, which I believe reflects on how well I work with children.

I love to stay busy and have fun with babies and children. I am a very hands on person who loves to get down on the floor and play with children.

With babies I love to play with them and their toys,sing to them,read to them,hold them,rock them,cudddle them,give them tummy and back time,take them to the park,and go for walks. The best is when babies smile,laugh and coo. That's the best for me.
