A little bit about me

Hi! My name is Payton. I am a college graduate and am looking for either a full-time or part-time nanny gig, as my schedule is currently very flexible.
As far as childcare experience, when I came to Chicago for college, I cared for a family with three children (aged newborn-4 years w/ one special needs) on a daily basis for about four years. My primary roles with this family included: school drop off, meals (2-3 a day), outdoor activities, arts and crafts, getting the children down for naps, housekeeping (dishes, vacuuming, etc.), school pick up, and any other day to day tasks that needed completion. Following my college graduation, I worked for the Goddard School before my move to Indiana, where I spent another year teaching at a low income, special needs preschool.
I just relocated to Chicago to be closer to my sister, so my schedule is currently very open and can be accommodated to almost anything you are looking for, thank you! :-)

More About Me

Relevant experience where I also cared for children were...

I’ve spent the last two years teaching preschool, but I’m looking for something a bit more personal where I can work with a family and children one on one. I find this much more rewarding, as I get a chance to be more involved in the day to day schedule and routine

Activities I enjoy doing with children...

I love outdoor activities as long as the weather permits. Going on adventures, scavenger hunts, and experiencing nature is something I hold near and dear to my heart.
My college degree is in art, so I love getting creative and doing anything art related. I think it’s a beautiful way to promote expression and creativeness.
Puzzles, games, and pretend scenarios where the child gets to lead in their imaginative world is something I also love to promote.

The most important part about being a nanny...

What matters most to me about being a nanny is first and foremost trust. I want you to feel you can trust me with your children (or child). I hold the responsibility that I have on a daily basis of very high importance.
I also want your children (or child) to trust me as well. Someone that provides love, light and support to them and their growth on a daily basis.
