I am a very energetic, loving and outgoing 29 year old who loves working with kids. I have great references and tons of experience. I began babysitting at age 11 and nannying at age 18. I have worked with children ranging in age from newborn through teen. I am comfortable with multiple children, as I currently work once a week in a nursery with infants and toddlers. I have also taught parent/tot/infant swim lessons and have been a camp counselor. Until recently I was a Special Education major at NEIU, here in Chicago. I love working with children and helping them grow, learn and develop. I believe it is a great responsibility and I cannot think of anything I would rather do. I enjoy taking children on adventures and try my best to turn everything into a learning experience. I do not encourage television, especially in younger children. I prefer Read more to play, read and explore, getting out as often as possible. I always make sure the the children tend to any responsibilities they may have, such as homework and chores, first though. I am very affectionate with the children I care for and am looking for more than just a family to work for. I have always felt that a good nanny becomes part of the family. So, if you're a family, looking for your Mary Poppins, please contact me, so we can find out if we're a fit for one another.
