About me

I've been immersed in the world of childcare for about 18 years- With 12 years of babysitting experience and 5 years as a dedicated nanny. Despite being the youngest on both sides of my family, I've evolved into the go-to babysitter for my cousins' and siblings' kids.

I've had the pleasure of nannying for various families in Springfield and Chicago, earning personal requests that span both cities. I've covered a broad spectrum, caring for 2-month-olds to 21-month-olds and children aged 2 to 12.

Beyond the practicalities of childcare, I'm deeply invested in child education. My previous roles involved assisting with homework and crafting engaging, educational activities, and being a Teacher's Aide at a daycare. I'm not just a caregiver; I'm a child at heart, always ready to inject a bit of silliness and playfulness into the day. However, I also understand the importance of balance and can switch gears when needed, ensuring a blend of fun and discipline.

I am also passionate about whipping up nutritious, healthy, and delicious meals. If you're interested in promoting better eating habits for your little ones, I'd love to chat about meal planning and share some tasty, kid-approved recipes.

One aspect that sets me apart is the trust I build with previous employers. They value my accountability and reliability, and as a result, our professional relationships have grown into family-friendships. I'm not just here to provide childcare; I genuinely want to be a supportive and reliable presence in your family's life.

And on a more personal note, I'm currently studying to become an Occupational Therapist Assistant, with a focus on early intervention for kids. It's a field that I'm truly passionate about, and I believe my experiences in childcare will complement my future role seamlessly.

I'm genuinely excited about the possibility of becoming a part of your family's support system. Let's chat more and see how I can contribute to making your life a little easier and more enjoyable!
